Dickipedia: Tom DeLay

Dickipedia/HuffPost Comedy:

Thomas Dale DeLay (born April 8, 1947) is a disgraced former U.S. Congressman and one-time Majority Leader of the House of Representatives who resurfaced not four years after a humiliating federal indictment shaking his decidedly Republican booty as a contestant on "Dancing with the Stars." Needless to say, he is also a dick.

Tom DeLay was first elected to the House in 1984, soon building a reputation for enforcing party discipline on colleagues and taking retribution on opponents. This earned him the nickname "The Hammer." One can only hope he is not planning to subject America to his version of "Can't Touch This." Although, hammer pants would certainly conceal his junk better than those tight polyester double-knits he wore on the season nine premiere.

The first national politician to appear on a reality show, DeLay is also the first contestant to compete on a reality show while currently out on bail. It's hard to say which provides a more apt comment on American popular culture. Still, they both clearly indicate our proximity to its nadir.

Silver lining: an appearance on "Dancing with the Stars," even winning it, does not seem to resurrect anyone's career. Just ask Joey Lawrence. Or L'il Romeo. Or Billy Ray Cyrus.

Say what you will about Tom DeLay, at least he never had a weird, drug-fueled, decade-long consensual sexual relationship with his own daughter who was also the star of a hit early 80s sitcom. At least not that anyone knows of.

Tom and Sara. Famous republican quitters. When his "hairline" fracture was mentioned the first time, I bet everyone in the room $50 that he would use that as his exit strategy. I think he wanted to quit then but couldn't resist the opportunity to wear his high heels.

Such a tough choice, they are all deserving recipients
(except MOM)

A fitting selection for the Dickipedia. Unanimous choice.

[sloreader]

They should rename the show to "He thinks he can dance!"

[justoverit333]

I couldn't watch all of it. grossed me out

[jjgg5]

What a corrupt, loser dick.

[jennylynn]

It reminded me of BO on Ellen's show dancing.

[gabemill]

If you believe that then you are as rhythmically challenged as DeLay, and can't recognize the difference.

[justoverit333]

not hardly. BO was funny. Delay was gross.

[oonamanoona]

Ahh, I think you were watching Dmitri, not DeLay, and got confused. That explains it.

[SabrinaFair]

Please America, please stop voting for this amoral, crooked man to remain on that show.

I know that it is fun to watch him humiliate himself, but really, my stomach cannot take much more of him.

Ratings are steadily falling for DWTS -- and it could be in part because of DeLay. Unfortunately I think he suits their demographic.

[4Ourselves]

Every time I see this guy I want to puke!

[tzbar]

He learned his dancing moves from the bugs...

[JiminNC]

What is holding up Mr. Delay's trial and subsequent jail term?

[jennylynn]

I think the same thing that is holding up B. Frank 's term.

[gabemill]

Please link to Frank crimes?
Oh that's right, there aren't any.......never mind...get back to rush

[sociocanuck]

I guess he wasn't "2 Legit 2 Quit", either.

It's fascinating to me that "Dickipedia" has gone downhill so quickly...the last few new entries have been hackneyed, trite, and obvious. I would like to hearken back to the days of "Dickipedia: Dick Cheney, Tom Cruise, and Karl Rove". Disappointment abounds

[UseYourBrainBlerg]

Its fascinating to me that moments ago, Tom was a high ranking government official. He wielded alot of power and had the ability to influence others. Then this....

Does this make anyone but me wonder about our elected officials? Who / where are the other embedded "Toms" within our system. Is the vetting process robust enough? What are viable alternatives? Blerg!!!

[nikkirkpatrick]

What i find fascinating is that the quality of the recent "Dickipedia" additions, including but not limited to Tom Delay, Kanye West and Tom Delay, has gone down the tubes. Dickipedia has become obvious, trite, and just plain boring. I long for the days of "Dickipedia: Dick Cheney". Now that's funny.

It says that politicians may perhaps be the least skilled among us despite fancy education and bloated resumes. Remember, George W Bush was a product of both Harvard AND Yale... kinda makes you question the $50K/year no?
