CNN

Winners never quit....quitters never win....

Dancing with the quitters....

Do I like or respect Tom Delay. Of course not. But I'm sorry his feet hurt. Get better soon, Tom!

what a joke this guy is.

CNN, why is this news? Who cares??????

I feel sorry for Delay, he totally making a fool of himself. Talk about EGO!

Welcome to the party of quitters. Now that he is through with DWTS, maybe he should go directly to jail. Do not pass GO.

The less we see of him and Bush, the quicker my state can hold it's head up again. The dixie chicks were right about Bush. DeLay is worse because he is too smart to be unaware of how corrupt and damaging his gang on the hill were. I can actually believe Bush was not paying attention.

C'mon seriously. Insulting the guy for trying unsuccessfully to compete through stress fractures.

Partisanship is a full-time sport apparently...

And this is what press called "Liberals"?
You, people,behaving like a bunch of attack dogs.
At least He tried.
And what are you doing?
Barking from behind the screen?

OK, he's gone, I can watch the show now.

Hey, Tom all that fancy dancing won't keep the Feds from pressing charges & lock you up. Save all that energy in case you need to do some dancing in the Federal penitentiary,

he tried but he did not conquer! you have to give the guy credit even if you dont like him or his political views..he did have an excellent partner however who choreographed fo his abiltiy (or lack of) as a dancer...

News flash............Palin/Delay 2012!!!

Campaign slogans..........Pitbull that Quits and When my feet hurt "I" quit. Is that going "rogue"?

I guess his health care package (and our tax dollars) will pay to patch him up. We would still be lying there.

Do I really need to comment on this. Looks like "the Hammer" got nailed. My apologies to anyone that already suggested this pun.

Worst group of DWTS competitors in as long as I can remember.

I'm pitching a new show; it combines Dancing with the Stars, Survivor, and So You Think You Can Dance. I'm calling it "So You Think You Can Dance With Those Scars?"

Even having as little respect for him as a person as I do, I must admit he made a valiant effort.

Finally! He was an embarrassment...............is he that hard up for money??

Will that affect his ability to toe tap at the airport?

Like Palin, he quit. Big deal, and did she really say "This is no time to get cold feet" about Obama? She has no more idea of what 'ironic' means than Alanis Morrisette.

Very Nice Tom!
Let's Bring Hannity to dance with Ann Coulter. That will be fun!

Wow, this is the lead story and not a single thing on Rangel managing to keep his leadership of the House ways and means committee.
nice set of priorities there, CNN!

One has to give him credit for trying the democrates logo "YES WE CAN" and found out " no he cant"!

we have twitter,my space,face book, now we can add another....how about "quitter" for the republicans.

His time in DC demonstrated to the country that Delay had no ethics and time will tell if he spends time in jail for criminal behavior. We now know he also has no dignity. He made a fool of himself which just goes to show, there's no fool like an old fool. It was, however, probably a ratings grabber for the show, since people that would not ever watch this program tuned in to see this train wreck.

When he was in office, I loathed Tom DeLay. But,now I see him and his courage, I have to respect him.

I'm a yellow dog Democrat and I think he's a good sport to do any of this. It's good to see some real humor and fun from pols once in a while. Lighten up, folks, you'll live longer.

I do not care but now that he is gone please please CNN never report on this guy again unless it is to say he is in jail or dead.

oh hahaHAHAHA

it's so nice that tom delay can make a joke out of making a mockery of our already corrupt campaign finance laws. what a great sense of humor he has!!!! and he can dance on top of that? this man is truly one of kind.

Delay is such a joke.............I could not even watch the show with him on it, maybe next year...

He'll get another chance to "dance" in prison.

Maybe they will have to haul Tom to the infirmery in a wheelbarrow after his jail cellmate has his way with him.

He is one of the reasons we stopped watching . Having that creep on was sickening.
Dancings choice of competitors has been awful .
That Samantha has got to go .

Maybe he figured out that we were all making fun of him...that we've always been making fun of him. Way to go Tom, you're finally in on the joke...and its you.

CNN...what a joke. Delay is slammed for dancing – Rangel's outrageous corruption is not even mentioned. No wonder CNN continues to slide in market share and credibility.

This guy should be in JAIL like where all Republicans belong.

I wonder what Steele, Limbaugh and Beck have to say for this clown. He shoudl have been locked up in a federal penitentiary for the crap he did.

He realizes that democrats one who kept him in competition to make him laughing stock..

He should be in jail anyway!!!!!

Thank God Tom DeLay quit "Dancing With The Stars", he made a complete fool of himself. Yes, he did look like a big sissy.

Seriously people.. some of you are so black hearted.. this is a dance competition where the guy quit because he was in extreme pain due to fractures in his feet. How can anyone equate that with Palin and call him a sissy.. he's a 62 year old man for God's sakes.

Some of you people are cruel.... and this is coming from someone who's as anti-republican as they get

Oh come on, people! The guy's got heart! I'm no fan of his policies or philosophies, but he broke both feet. Cut him some slack. This wasn't about politics and it's not fair to attack him on a political level as many of my fellow Libs are doing here.

Well, watching him walk is even difficult for me! Mr. DeLay's mannerisms are so affected that he's difficult to take seriously, anyway. Sorry he's hurt but glad he's gone.

Typical Republican ---–> Quit!
Now he can fully concentrate on his indictments

The foot fractures are a pre-existing condition caused by too many times inserting them into mouth. When you think you are a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Hello Mr. Delay:

Here is wishing you a speedy recovery!

I may not agree with you on politics, but yes... you are a great sport.

I would be screaming by now!

Very best wishes,

A Liberal Guy in Boulder

forbid not for bid

I'm not a fan of his, but I give him credit for going on the show and giving it a shot. I think he did fine. Everything does not have to be about politics. The real heroinne is Cheryl Burke because she made him look like a dancer.

Kudos to both of them.

Too bad. I don't wish pain on the guy, just prison time.

Tom Delay, meet Sarah Palin. Sarah, meet Tom. You guys have a lot in common, not the least of which is that your uber-partisan rightwing fantasy world is a cancer on America.

hahahaha this is funny... GOP/JOKE

And they called this dude 'The Hammer'? What a wimp!

Man oh man where was that wheel-barrow back in the 1990s? This guy should have been carted off years ago, I don't mind him dancin' but I was wondering "who was the "Star" he was dancin with?

I'd like to see any of the critical libs try to dance with 2 broken feet. Ooops, I guess they dance really well, with or without feet.

Gee gang, this was just all in good fun, but it sounds like some libs take themselves so seriously, they've completely lost their sense of fun. I hope someday (soon – like after Nov. 2010), Nancy Pelosi gets a shot at Dancing with the Stars.

Give this man a break. I am a liberal Hillary Democrat, but I thought Tom Delay was a good sport on Dancing With The Stars and fun to watch in a train wreck sort of way. You criticizing people try to dance with two feet fractures.

And notice that he was not eliminated last night. Not sure how much longer he would have lasted on the show before being voted off, but why risk permanent injury?

When did people assume that use clever little derogatory variations of Repulican and Democrat were clever? To people that "craft" these little gems, you seriously don't realize how moronic and juvenile it sounds? Much less coming from an adult?

Golly, I think CNN has confused Politics with Entertainment. Oops wait, I think that just might be a contradiction in terms. In my opinion, this should be reported in entertainment, not become a political controversial issue.

Rhythm? I think DeLay missed the boat there – some people just aren't made to dance and DeLay is one of them.

Why worry about making a fool of yourself practicing dance if you recall you made a big fool of yourself long before the dancing ever began we have not forgotten you Looser Looser .

Perhaps DeLay tripped over a pile of his indictments and ethics violations.

who cares?

Good run Tom.

too bad she didn't step on his foot to add to his misery. Sorry but I live in Texas and I have NO use for Tom Delay at all.

Really? This is on the ticker because DeLay is a has-been, failed politician?

I'm eating Ramen noodles (again) for lunch today.

Put that on the ticker, CNN.

Incredulous!

The man was idiotic dancer and made himself a target for even more jokes. He deserves what he gets. He should be dancing in prison.

I think it was wrong of him wearing a shirt with the republican emblem on the back of his shirt. Dancing with the Stars is not a political show where he has to be representing the republican party . The show should not have allowed this . Who cares what his political party prefernce is. Too bad , so sad that he is off the show. Apparently he is not used to working the honest way to win something, huh? He was never going to make it anyway. like he didn't make it in the political arena. Poor cheryl, for having to dance with such a loser.
Oh, by the way , I hope his feet get well.

Hopefully now we'll stop having to see little clips of his "dancing" on every news show on the tube! Seriously . . . I threw up in my mouth a little every time I had to see that . . . ewww!

Liberals,democrats, progressives are nice.

that what republicans are good at, QUITTING AND SAYING NO TO EVERYTHING>

The people who want to see Delay, Palin, and Limbaugh locked up are the same ones who want all the corrupt ACORN libs, Chicago cronies, Union thugs, and people like Roman Polanski to go free.

The fact is that you support them and their emotional, hate-filled, partisan desires superceeding law, justice, facts, and fairness mentality and way of life each and everytime you vote Democrat.

Republicans have their issues, that's for sure. However, do you harp on how evil a speeder is yet believe that a murderer should be set free? Really, that is how it is when you go after the right and ignore the real problem, liberal Democrats.

The fact that Delay was even on the show in the first place show how far he has fallen from grace since his political career ended.

Just proof that politicians don't use either their heads or feet in Washington... That only leaves the other part they sit on..

That's funny and I don't know, I bet some of our politicians do got some game in the Dancing scene.

Maybe a lil Dancing can get em of politics and just relax. Now that would be cool...and funny.

Pretty good by Delay.

Oddities always attract viewers. A 61 year old dancing politician is an oddity, like the woman in Britain was an oddity. Let's call a spade a spade. Like a clown at a side show, he exited in a wheel barrow.

So much for racheting up interest with their lackluster stud finders; the Hammer failed to level the playing field and so, we can file this nut with the other tools.

Following in Ms. Palin's footsteps is this a New GOP tactic?

He is such a loser. He failed in Congress and now on the dance floor. What's next? Ping Pong.

Let's face it. Tom Delay made a fool of himself. I almost threw up when he shook is ass. I believe he really thought he was cute. How Sad.

Because he is not "old" he should have his bone density checked if he recently fractured both feet just by dancing – luckily he has good health care.

Well maybe if they let him dance on his butt he would have made it. He was on his butt most of the time in D.C. He is another one of the buttheads from that administration.

I'll tell you what was painful, watching him dance. If you could call it that. A few seconds of that was all I could stand. It will take sometime for me to recover from the mental scaring, but in time I'll be fine.

Democrats will not do dancing with the stars. They are too busy fudging their income tax returms.

thank God another GOP is out of the picture! my prayers have been answered!

I'm not upset with DeLay for being on the show or for quitting, sensibly, when he got hurt. I'm upset with DWTS for such an extremely poor choice of contestants. If John Gotti was still alive, would they have asked him to be a contestant? Which criminal will be next?

Ok twinkle toes, now that you know how to shake your booty, when you go to the BIG house you will meet the real HAMMER.

I gotta say that Delay looked a little....how do I say it.....gay in his dancing. My gay friends think he definitely plays for their team, if you know what I mean. But that's OK. Just another republican confused about his sexuality. Maybe his next job (before he goes to jail) should be to go work with Newt and his hookers group...or maybe he can hire Ensign's lobbyist/girlfriend's husband Hampton to help get another job in Washington. These republicans are amazing......the funky stuff just keeps on coming!

He always was a quitter unless he could find some way to steal money.

He should be in a jail cell with Scooter, another corrupt Republican who escaped justice.

I agree! Send Delay right to Jail.....!!!

More nasty comments from the fruitcakes on the left who cannot tell reality from what they see on television is reflected in the comments you see. At least he didn't vacillate while more died and run off to Copehagen with Oprah while men died in Afghanistan, or try to steal billions of tax dollars for ACORN/SEIU.

I am not exactly a fan of the former congressman, but I applaud his efforts on the dance floor. He was one of those people I thought had absolutely no sense of humor and who would never risk potentially looking foolish, but I am reminded of the words from that song "If you've the chance, to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance". We all should do more dancing, and less shouting at each other over political differences.

Whatever, my post has nothing to do with Tom Delay. However, because CNN seems not to want to recognize good news relevant to our President.

Let the record show that President Obama's favorabilitly rating is up by 6% according to the AP poll.

I'm a Huffington Post fan, as they seem to be on top of breaking news and ensuring that it is dissimilated to the public in a timely manner.

thats how they are in texas always talk the talk but never walk it. cowards

Hey, maybe he can use some healthcare to treat his injured foot. Oh, wait. That's right. He's a far right wing conservative. No healthcare for you. Darn!

Trying to be macho doesn't work sometimes. I think he did the right thing to drop out. He might have hurt himself and been disabled for the rest of his life. Even tho he is a scroundle of the first kind I hope he gets better soon.

He should not have been on that show to begin with. However, that is what poor losers do – they find a good excuse to quit before they lose.

I guess quitting is a GOP thing huh.

Too bad Obama won't quit dancing with indecisivenss.

cutting and running that is what the Rush Limbaugh Party do

Delay showed that you can be the so called conservative and have fun!! way to go old man!!

He must have attended the Sara Palin Motivational Seminar where it is expected that you quit before the job is complete.

For goodness sake!! Give the man a break!!

Delay was charged with a campaign finance tactic that was not considered a crime at the time he did it. He took his lumps and resigned his congressional seat and that was the end of any prosecution.

Good to see that the libs are spewing nothing but hateful remarks and sweeping ad-homonym attacks against anyone that they see as opposing them. Keep that up until 2010 and 2012. It is an excellent way to galvanize your opposition.

reminds me of dick chenny and his wheel chair so he would,nt have to stand up in front of a black president phoney

I can't stand the man, he looked ridiculous, but I have to give him a thumbs up for having the guts to compete in the first place.

I may not have liked him, but I hope he gets well soon.

why is this NEWS?!!!!!!

As a Texan whose state was gerrymandered by Delay so a Republican majority could do as much damage to the nation as possible, I feel about him like I would feel about a man who beat up my sister.

I don't want to see his face, hear him talk, see him dance, or know that he exists. I don't even want to vote against him because I'd have to look at his name on the ballot.

What a jerk! Can't stand him. Glad he's finally gone. Now I can watch and enjoy the show again.

There is a difference bewteen coward and quitter (if you want to use that term).

Quitters = actually start and for whatever reason don't or can't (in Delay's case) finish

Cowards = actually never start but yammer at those who do!

Maybe Boob Palin can replace him and quit again.....

My tax dollars better not have paid for that wheelbarrow....

He should get wheelbarreled right to prison,along with Rush Limbaugh for tax evasion.

He was a HORRIBLE dancer...
Nothing is more embarrassing and nauseating than watching an over-the-hill old man making like he is a young graceful stud. His partner was stunning and I think that she should be given some kind of award for being able to stomach, and be a part of, the fiasco.
I am so glad that he is gone!!!!

Lame... on SO many levels.

This idiot DeLay should be in a mental institution.

Republican Baffoon.

It was embarrassing just to watch him. Is DWTS really so desperate for 'stars' that it needs to dredge up indicted felons?

This idiot should be in prison....

Another republican quitter joins the Palin ranks...

See what stomping all over the Constitution will do to your feet?

"Tom Hottub Delay" quites again, what a looser. man up. Use your govment provided health care and take some pain pills.

Maybe Mr. DeLay needs a bone density test. Maybe he doesn't get enough calcium.

This piece is yet another non-news story by CNN. Why don't you do some real news coverage, in-depth investigative reporting, or at least use correct grammar in your non-news stories? "God for bid?" How about "forbid"? Stop relying on the public to do the news for you, stop with newscaster commentaries, and cover Darfur, Afghanistan, etc...

I don't think it was a lack of practice that made Delay look like a fool.

HA,HA, HA, by the way how's DeLay's criminal investigation going?

I am offended by Mr DeLay's perfomance – both on the show and off – on so, so many levels!! Yeah.. go on, keep joking about criminal indictments.

They only thing more entertaining than Delay quitting is Failin' Palin commenting on Facebook that America should not quit in Afganistan. Just send more US troops to get killed in combat is her suggestion. No plan, no strategy, no thinking – just flag waving and sacrificing more American blood, treasure and firepower. Now that's red blooded, American Taliban-style neo-conservatism you can believe in.

You gotta admit it's funny – Palin telling the POTUS not to quit half way thru a project that he never started and Bushie screwed up so bad there is no end in sight and Bin Ladin still running around free as a bird....HAR-DE-HAR-HAR!

Well, while DeLay was my least favorite American for quite some time, I do feel for his pain. I've suffered those stress fractures-during a charity run, no less-and know how long and critical the recovery process is. Months of being careful; not dancing!

We wish he'd gone the Dancing route much sooner, maybe instead of Congress, is all.

Who would have thought...he has 2 LEFT feet

I think it was a clever move on Delay's part to feign injury! He had already embarrassed himself, he was the WORST dancer on the show, but I will admit that he had the largest EGO! If he hadnd't dropped out, he would have been thrown out! He was terrible.

He really thought shaking his booty looked good! Oh, what a fool that man made of himself! His fat butt on camera was almost too much for me! He obviously had all of the Republican lunatics call in to vote for him! I was surprised he made it after dropping his partner on the floor in round two! I am glad he is gone, but they did hint they may bring him back for the Texas two-step later on!

I think DWTS's has been extra kind to Delay. They must all be Republicans!

What an attention craving crimnal!

I think that DeLay quit only because he did not want to be eliminated by the fans. I don't think that he had the fan base he claimed. This was probably just a deal between him and ABC to save face.

Just like a republican... QUITTER.

He should be in jail.

Why in the world is this news?

How many times will people like Delay thumb their noses at Americans? Executives take their unearned bonuses in the billions, politicians like Ensign, Dodd, Craig, Sanford, and on and on blatantly break the law and scoff at justice, knowing they will never serve a day of the jail time they so richly deserve. They have the nerve to deny the obvious facts and rub our noses in the mud, like Delay with his "keeps you out of jail" jokes.

These guys are dragging the entire country down, and they laugh about it. Where is there a prosecutor with some spine to take these criminals on and put them in jail where they belong?

Why should I or anybody else have any respect for the law if the law-makers are the most heinous law-breakers?

Another Republican quitter!

The coward Republican chickenhawk cut & run.

We don't care about Tom DeLay. We're glad he's out of office, but otherwise, he can fade into history with his buddy, Larry Craig.

The man should be in jail for his crimes. But failing that, for the way he wiggled his big butt on stage. Gross!!

Idiot behavior by an idiot. Sniffed way too much bug juice when he was a BIG TIME BUSINESSMAN killing critters for a living, in Houston, prior to his "career" in the U. S. Congress. What a two bit creep!

ahhh....another republican quitting. Par for the course. They quit everything they start.

glad he's off of it. delay is a crook.

I am glad he is off the show, I will start watching it again. He needs to be serving time in an orange jump suit, not dancing on the T V. Thank you

What made he start in the first place. He had – has – and never will have RHYTHM!! So did they have to DELAY the show so they could wheel him away??? Jeez – I have more rhythm typing!

Let Obama take his place...He is a great tap-dancer, and seems to have plenty of time (has time for talk shows and jetting off to Copenhagen).

Who cares!?! What happened to real journalism? This is a pathetic story.

Stopped watching this program when Jerry Springer was on. Decided they must be searching for the most undesirable specimens of human life...and guess what they found them! Tom Delay belongs in jail...this fall from grace is nothing compared to what he should have experienced as a defrauder of the government. Creepy show with a bunch of has beens.

Did he trip over his own words? Bwahahahahahaha

Maybe he should have tried some of the fancy steps he used in Congress or when he was up to no good taking advantage of his position as a Congressman?

He was a good sport, but when you can't no longer tippie toe you have to call it quits.... and let the others compete....

tv is cheapened, isn't there a real cause a serious minded polictican can tkae on, jon&kate cheap, octmom cheap, think about it a fomer socalled leading polictican twisting his bottom on national tv

Why is this a political story??? Methinks CNN''s Freudian slip is showing. And all I heard on MySocialistNBC this morning was quitter, quitter, quitter. It's a dance competition, folks, and stress fractures in foot bones are mighty painful.

The mere fact that I feel compelled to comment on this means that my life is equally pathetic to those whose comments will come after this. I'm getting back to work–someone has to pay for your bailout.

"Still though, DeLay remained confident his skills could have carried him forward."

Yeah, right. If it had not been for his daughter's massive PR campaign which began before the he even started he never would have made it through the first round.

Skill? Afraid not. Misplaced pity is more like it...

wow! Another repuke quits? Is this a surprise? Actually, I am thrilled I refused to watch the stupid show with him on it. He is a traitor to this country and should NOT be put on stage unless its the courtroom stage. I hated him on theshow, it was enbarrasing watching him. AND if he is not a closeted gay man, then I dont know who is..PA-LEEEZ, He is gayer than Elton John...

DeLay must truly be one of the most dispicable human beings on the planet. The only news I want to hear about him is either conviction or incarceration.

He should have gone to jail.

Very sad. Seeing a 62-year-old anything "shake his booty" is not really something I'll be going out of my way to see.

Yeah, he dances quite well, around ethics, breaking the law, and cheating his constituents. As a Texan, I'm thoroughly embarassed by Delay most times, but now, even more!

proof there is a GOD!

Maybe I will watch the show now that Tom DeLay is gone!!

A quitter, just like Sarah Palin.

Aside from being a horrible dancer, he's a quiter.

He should have been in jail, not dancing on TV.

Not very statesmanlike, Tom. Just another Republican out there shaking his booty for a buck. I guess your quitting disqualifies you for Viagra commercials. You're right about one thing, though. Your partner deserved better.

We have sunk to a new low in this country. What ever happened to the politician as statesman?

Gad, there is NOTHING appealing about this guy.

It is terribly unfortunate that better and more serious dancers were voted off DWTS because this jerk was voted for by many because of a "vote for Dad" campaign by his daughter.

Sick, sick, sick!

'Now is not the time for cold feet,' Palin says of Tom Delay !

When will Sarah be on dancing with the stars ?

yeah right, tough guy. "the hammer"?? how about the "nerf hammer".
and that statement about how you didn't want to embarrass yourself, sorry-too late.

what a scumball

Although I don't like Tom DeLay's politics, I thought he did an awsome job on DWTS. He's a good sport.

This is very funny. Why does the media focus on stupid stories like this?? Delay is and always will be a joke. The damage this man did not only to his party, but tio the American people ~ Good, glad U got hurt, serves your butt right. Now, Go peacefully into the night.....

First Sarah nor this. Republicans are a bunch of quitters.

Another quitter from the GOP. Big surprise.

Please - enough about this crook. He is probably faking the foot issue just like he did with us Texans when in office. What he won't do for attention - arrogance reigns.

Good; can he withdraw to obscurity now?

Now he can join Palin, the other GOP quitter.

ironically he got more votes on the show than he did in his political career.

He did a good job...better than everyone thought he would.

Who cares

For all the damage he did to our country, he deserves to be in a little pain ...

Asked if he his performance will inspire other indicted politicians to dance, Delay — who was charged with criminal violations of state campaign finance laws but never convicted — said "hey, it keeps you out of jail."
Hmmmm, before all the liberals start spewing their disgust, let us consider ALL of the campaign funding fraud, corruption and deceit that we have recently seen. ACORN, Rangle, Edwards, Daschle, Geithner, Clinton's, Ensign, Delay and Obama included. I don't think that the Republicans have the corner on political corruption by any stretch of the imagination. America needs to stand as One to take back control of our State and Federal Governments, they are supposed to work for us. They are not exempt from our laws, I don't care how many lawyers argue the meaning of IS!

Regardless....Tom DeLay is disturbing on so many levels that even this venue for him does not remove his overall creepiness. In fact it enhances it even more. This whole thing has been a stunt and one that is just flat out weird.

Creepy, manipulative, slimey, and yesterdays news. Go away DeLay and take your danceskins and tutu with you.

Too bad for him. Now can this stupid show go off the air?

He was actually quite personable on the show. But symbolic of the Republican extreme right wing with two broken feet and ending up dropping out of the picture.....ooops!

Did he say you "WILL" make a fool of himself?
Too late... he was a fool before the show, now he is a buffoon in red pants and probably Depends under them

Join the ranks of Bob Dole and his E.D image .
This was our leadership?

He was making such a fool of hisself.
Some will stoop to any level to get recognition and headlines,
Think this backfired on him as he let his ego overtake ability.

Too bad his mouth never gives out...

He was a joke anyway!!

Good thing he has HEALTH CARE.

Please send him to jail.

I thought I had the CNN Political Ticker not National Enquirer.

Delay's dancing was a great laugh. But his moves did not help the GOP!

How many years and still no trial. Prosecution by Democratic party DAs surely is a very slow process in Texas.

Yeah, now I can watch Dancing With The Stars.

He can't do anything right.

Yeah, sure. What a phony!

Let me see.....nope, no sympathy. DeLay is a thief and a liar..and soon to be, felon. He should be banished completely, from all public life. The stress fractures in his feet were probably started by his stomping on the first amendment, civil rights, and human decency.

Too bad. I thought he was funny.

Party of quitters. This is one thing I taught he could do well, only to quit in the middle. I thought it was only Palin (who is the quitter). He knew it was coming to a close anyway. Who knows what next he will try , it looks like this job issues are also hitting ex-parliamentarians.
Tom you look good in a wheel barrow, keep it up.

Please CNN stop reporting on this crook.

This man is sickening. How can these networks even give him air time. Now you CNN making a news story about a nothing. In Texas we hate him.

Party of quiters. This is one thing I taught he could do well, only to quit in the middle. I thought it was only Palin (who is the quitter). He knew it was coming to a close. Who knows what next he will try next , it looks like this job issues are also hitting ex-parliamenterians.
Tom you look good in a wheel barrow.

I have to admit, as much as I disagree with his politics and thought he was a mean, partisan you-know-what, I really give him credit for his appearance on Dancing With The Stars, and actually, I thought he did quite well. It was good to see his lighter side, and I hope it translates into his politics and life!

Awww, Tom Delay probably quit before he got humiliated and wa voted off......that's the politician in him.......

He looked and acted like a real jerk on the show.....the way he eyed Cheryl was disgusting.
Anyway, soon as he started in with his political remarks I tuned him (and the show) out.
Thank goodness for fast-forward.

Tom Delay was a bust on the dancing program just like he was when he was in congress.

Tell him to go home and act his age.

Tom DeLay has proven he is no slouch on the dance floor as his sexy moves sent tingles up the legs of all of us who watched. DeLay as the comsummate handsome epitome of elegance probably would have won the competition, but was graceful enough to allow someone else the chance for glory. The way he grabbed Cheryl Burke you could tell he was always very professional and he didn't even enjoy putting his hands all over her. DeLay can dance better than any indicted politician in history.

What scares me most about America right now is, with all the challenges and goals we have, with the things we have to face, and with all we have known being questioned, that this many Americans actually waste a couple of hours every week watching something called "Dancing with the Stars."

That probably says more about the state of our nation than any political debate or journalistic commentary.

Professional dancers are in extraordinary physical condition. Delay was fighting a losing battle when he laced up his dancing shoes. The Hammer gave it his all...but it wasn't good enough; and it looks like they're going to need a bigger wheelbarrow.

All I want to know is who voted for him to make it this far. He should have been out the first night!

Who cares? The man looked like he had a Depends undergarment on in his costume, plus he is a freakin' birther. If Cheryl Burke weren't his dance partner, he'd be asking her to show her proof of citizenship.

At age 62 and breaking the tendons; it is not easy to recover. Good that he has quitted before the disaster happens!

Wonder what the next attempt to remake Delay's image will be.

US Tax Dollars armed them and trained them. It only seems fitting that US tax dollars (and innocent, ignorant US children) should now be wasted to remove them.
Sheesh, read a book.

Liberal hate clearly hasn't progressived as much as liberal politics..

Good riddance. Now I can enjoy DWTS without his smirking face.

Great job... and always helpful to encourage others to step up and step out.

Couldn't happen to a better person. Good riddance!

The real reason is that he couldn t fit his fat head thru the door. Goodbye Tom. Don't come back...ever. Except for your trial

He should be in jail

Awwww, DeLay was awesome!!!! He will be missed

Thank God he looked like a NERD anyway up against the other dancers........He failed as a Politician and now he's failed as a dancer.......what is next for this loser

Yeah right..stress fractures my foot. I'll have to see the xrays before I believe that story. It would not surprise me if Delay is not continuing his crooked ways by conning ABC out of a quick and easy quarter mil. The man got legal bills to pay. In this economy, we all should have a shot at Dancing with the "Stars" to make a quick buck. Wouldn't that be nice.

not realy news

just another republican crook who got rich of the american family taxes and then cut and ran and play the partisan libera media card to avoid conviction LOL

go show off your REPUBLICAN TERRIORST PRIDE LOL

My husband and I thought Tom Delay was great!! It is so nice to see and realize that a politician can be "human". Sometimes they act so above us and actually they are just citizens like us. Best wish Mr. Delay.

He is an idiot

What a loser! Another Rethuglican quitter! Cheryl's probably delighted!

What a lame excuse....its clear that he didn't have what it takes and found a way out. I think its much like his political life...Always looking for a way to skirt the rules or the process...cause the rules don't apply to him. Good luck in recovery of those foot fractures ,)

Another Republican quitter. I wish more members of the Party of No would follow Delay's and Palin's examples and quit. Maybe then Congress could get something done and the country could move forward.

Ewww! Why not get Kim Jong Il on there next? Who watches shows like that anyway?

isn't funny that delay dance on national television with the republican elephant plaster on his back and no one said a word but if it was the democrat the RUSH party would be jumping up an down saying it was the liberal media WHAT A JOKE

Good riddance. Now this indicted corrupt scumbag can await prosecution and be held responsible for his crimes, I will watch the trial and the frog marching with glee. Lock him up.

He does look like a fool but this is much better than Obama's reality program, Dancing with the Czars. Obama only gets positive reviews for his BlagoMambo, anything else, well as Jimmy and all the other Democrats in America will tell you, your a racist.

He should be dancing with Bubba, and Lefty Louie in prison. And so should Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld. Repubs dont love America, Only Money. OBAMA-BIDEN 2012

"If you can't practice, you make a fool of yourself out here," DeLay said.

LOL! He made a fool of himself when he could practice! Get ready for prison Tommy!

Oh no...it can't be.
The Hammer is cut and running!

I'm a "dyed-in-the-wool" Democrat, but I loved watching DeLay dance. He didn't have to be good. I think it's great when politicians let down their guard and become a bit more like us normal folk.

Carrying out that pathetic clown in a wheelbarrow is appropriate.

Hey, is Richardson from New Mexico next, to put on his dancing shoes?

Shouldn't this unfunny clown be in jail somewhere?

Good! Now I can watch the show.

Hmmmm....seems to me that Mr. DeLay "calls it quits" on a lot of things.

It's no longer "Hammer time"

He hurt himself dancing? Are you kidding? What a sissy.

Delay is a good sport! good for him!
