• Tom DeLay Goes Dancing With The Stars

  ​It's nice to know that the dignified, studious, classy Tom DeLay we all knew and loved in the Congress is alive and well...and appearing on Dancing with the Stars.Because that's what serious people do.ABC announced today that the former King of Sugar Land will be a contestant along with such notable political philosophers as Donnie Osmond and pro skateboarder Louie Vito.Osmond and Vito might not show up on Fox News as often as DeLay; on the other hand, neither one has wasted millions of dolla

• Tom DeLay to Debut the "Bitch Slap" on Dancing With the Stars Next Month

  News is leaking out of Hollywood that former U.S. House Majority Leader and mugshot model Tom DeLay will be part of the cast of next season's ABC hoofer ratings smash Dancing With the Stars. What hasn't come out yet is DeLay's plans to debut a new dance called the "Bitch Slap," an arm-movement-heavy variation of the foxtrot inspired by New York Times columnist Paul Krugman. Rocks Off can't wait for DeLay to try the Bitch Slap on his lady partner, whoever she may be, while fellow Dancing co

• Five Post-Political Careers As Bad As Appearing On Dancing With The Stars

  Most politicians, once their days in government service are over, go on to less public but nonetheless luractive careers in the private sector. They serve on corporate boards, become presidents of universities, or enjoy a quiet retirement. Sure, they can't all be Jimmy Carter, parlaying a lengthy political career into a rewarding life of philanthropy and humanitarian work, but most can at least write a memoir or two.And then there's Tom DeLay.Forced to resign after being indicted for conspiracy

• Rocks Off Exclusive: A Sneak Peek at Tom DeLay's Dancing With the Stars Dance Card

  By now, the news about former Sugar Land Congressman Tom DeLay's impending appearance on ABC's Dancing with the Stars has had time to sink in, and the long-term ramifications of this colossal melding of two of our greatest loves (reality television and the suffering of others) are starting to become clearer. To say mankind is doomed would be putting it mildly. But there'll be plenty of time to mourn the collapse of civilization later. Now is the time to concern ourselves with serious issues; sp

• Good Lord, Was Tom DeLay Drunk On Hardball?

  Sugar Land's Tom DeLay has wormed his way back into the spotlight lately via the announcement he'll be on Dancing With The Stars.He showed up on Chris Matthews' Hardball the other day, and we've got to ask: Was he drunk? (DeLay, not Matthews.)Check out the video for yourself.Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy Sure, he makes the kinds of statements that anyone with a blood-alcohol level of .14 would make -- protesters "dumped" quadriplegics in front of him

• BREAKING OMG Important!! Tom DeLay Out Of Dancing With The Stars

  ​People magazine, which has become the place to go to find news about Tom DeLay (and that says a lot more about Tom DeLay than People) is reporting that The Hammer is out of Dancing With The Stars.Stress fractures have become too painful for the wussy Republican, who cried sissy tears at no longer being able to wear spangles. (Much of the information in the previous sentence is pure speculation.)Says People: DeLay was advised by doctors and the show's producers not to perform on Monday's show,

• Midweek Match-Up: Tom DeLay Vs. Sarah Palin In The Battle Of The Quitters

  What is up with the Republican Party today? It's become a party of quitters.First, Sarah Palin ups and leaves her job as Alaska governor for reasons only she can discern. Then Tom DeLay throws in the white towel on Dance With The Stars, even as the nation was begging for him to continue making a complete ass of himself.Did Ronald Reagan ever quit anything? (We mean, besides his effort to install a fiscally responsible government.) No.But between Palin and DeLay, who's the most egregious quitter?
