Hammer time: Tom DeLay shakes his thang on "Dancing with the Stars" premiere

They say politics does strange things to a man. And now we have even more proof, in the form of former House Republican Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who last night got in touch with his "feminine side" to perform a Cha Cha with Cheryl Burke on Dancing with the Stars (DWTS).

While you might be inclined to skip ahead to the actual dance sequence, don't. Then you would miss such priceless rehearsal moments as Tom DeLay learning how to shake his wild thang (which, in this case, would not be his moneymaker) and go left. (Btw, if you check out the video on YouTube, be sure to read the comments. Some of them are priceless.)


I have (hate?) to admit it, but I found DeLay endearing. He may also have just single-handedly saved the Republican party, or at least brought in a whole new block of voters.
