Politics / TV / Dance It's Hammer Time!

Posted by Paul Constant on Mon, Aug 17, 2009 at 11:49 AM

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay will be a contestant on this season's Dancing With the Stars. If he dances with Melissa Joan Hart, I will never be able to look at my beloved erstwhile teenage witch in the same way again.

The "stars" never dance with one another, but with a professional dancer who teaches the "star" wtf to do.

I am a little ashamed that I know this, but Kelly Monaco is foxy so I watched.

duh, stars don't dance with other stars!

This dud of a show gets a mention and NOTHING on the season premiere of Mad Men!!!

WTF?

Considering that Melissa Joan Hart is a right-wing Republican, you may just want to kill that aging crush of yours now and get it over with.

Yes, get your nose out of the books and learn how DWTS works, nerd.

3 in the interest of bipartisanship I'd take a piece of that.

Dancing With the Stars jumped the shark two seasons ago.

I'm picking DeLay for the sleeper win. The way that guy danced his way out of Federal prison hints that he must have slick moves.

I wonder if DeLay will try to be sober for most of the competition?

@9 - doubt it.

@12: Goddammit. The least you could do is clean up the ketchup spill underneath your chair. This is why we can't have nice things.

Melissa Joan Hart is georgeous and I hope she wins. BTW I've had crush since she was in "Clarissa Knows All" long before she was a teenage witch. As a right wing republican myself, I approve this message...
