Entertainment Online is reporting that former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay is dropping out of Dancing With The Stars.
DeLay, who danced for the third time last night, has stress fractures in both of his feet. He danced the samba last night, sporting a shirt with a bedazzled elephant on it, despite the advice of doctors and the show's producers.
A representative for the show would not comment to EOnline's reporter.
In 2006, DeLay also resigned from the House of Representatives in the midst of a corruption scandal. He is still under indictment.

I just thought he was a horrible dancer. I had no idea it was because he had fractures in both feets. I thought it was becasue he was a republican that he had no rythm.

"As your physician, I strongly advise you not to wear bedazzled elephant shirts."

How refreshing to see that just this once, a discredited former GOP politician given an undeserved starring role by the mainstream media has had to suffer the consequences of his woeful inadequacy.

Broken feet or no, that video was painful to watch for numerous reasons.

It's a shame there weren't any "minority youths" to take The Hammer's place on the show.
Max Cleland wishes he could get stress fractures in both feet.
