Injured Tom DeLay hangs up his 'Dancing' shoes

[Botany]

It wasn't two left feet, but two fractured feet that forced Tom DeLay to hang up his dancing shoes on Tuesday.

The former House of Representatives Republican Whip said he's taking his doctor's advice and leaving the ABC television show "Dancing With the Stars."

DeLay has been diagnosed with stress fractures in both feet from the rigors of dancing and must wear foot braces when away from the ballroom.

Doctors and producers urged the 62-year-old to withdraw from the dance-off. But he was determined to continue Monday, performing a sufficient
samba with professional partner Cheryl Burke.

"What's a little pain when you can party?" he asked before performing.

I wonder if having the 3" lifts in his shoes caused little Tommy's foot problems?

1. I'll be damned! It really worked!

I wished Tom "Break a leg" when I heard he was gonna be dancin'. 2 fractured feet is just as good,right?

2. His Next Role...Dancing With Bubba...

Here's hoping this crook finally faces the real music...in a court of law.

I avoided watching this waste of electrons (prime time network teevee is a real waste)...and my hopes are those aching dogs will be nothing compared to the pains he will feel when he fails to make his cigarette quota.

:rofl:

3. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy

Of course, he probably developed those fractures the first time around by stomping all over Texas' redistricting map.

4. He should get into weightlifting.

Once he masters the "clean and jerk" lift, he would probably win the jerk-off title.

6. I'm sure he'll do a lot more dancing in prison. nt

7. Good grief! That poor young lady is going to need therapy after partnering with him. Yuck. n/t
