DeLay Impresses Fans, Makes New Friends

Before last night’s Dancing With the Stars episode aired, it was unclear as to whether Tom DeLay would be able to impress America, and more importantly, develop a fan base — especially going up against Peyton Manning and MNF .
10 seconds into his "Wild Thing" dance [and after the 62 year-old knee-slid across the stage], it was clear that the Hammer’s appearance on the show would be great for him [and ABC ].
The other male celebrities [other than Donny Osmond who never lacks energy] nearly put fire to sleep. They came across as nervous and boring on TV. Even the great Dallas Cowboy Michael Irvin didn’t respond well to Tom DeLay’s earlier challenge .
DeLay was quite the opposite – and the Twittersphere agreed. [We'll just have to wait and see if Tweets translate into votes.]
@klgoldWho would have thought @TomDelay would have been better than Michael Irvin?!? #DWTS
@Thetonylee@EmilyMillerDC @tomdelay may prove elites wrong again–even liberal friends loved wild thing–some voted 1st time for conservative!
@benedictgal @tomdelay you were actually fun to watch. you did rather well. this is hard coming from a Texas democrat.
@KrisBanks Just voted for @TomDeLay. Never thought I would say that! What can I say, I want him around.
@KatieFavazza RT @mattmargolis: RT @emzanotti @tomdelay is kind of like Elvis with a hip replacement. But I’ll give it to him. He’s good. #dwts
@JonathanGrella@tomdelay is going to redistrict irvin out of texas. #dwts
@Terence_Grado They’re saving the best for last: @tomdelay. #dwts #crnc #tcot
@almacy What does it say about us that we are letting our girls stay up to watch @tomdelay on Dancing with the Stars?
Even Billy Bush got in on the action:
@BillyBushHoly @tomdelay! That was entertaining. Haha…LMAO!!!!!! Dodd, You’re next!
@BillyBush@tomdelay..u look radioactive! The spray tan is strong but I love that u went with it! I’m guessing u snapped the onesie 2. Bravo, now DANCE
ABC might nudge the judging death-panel and let them know that having the Hammer on the show is great for business [and viewing the Washington, D.C. DMA].
Also, did Bill Bush just call out Chris Dodd? What does he know that we don’t?

I don’t understand why people that don’t belong on the show, make it on it. Macy Gray looked like she was high. She could barely talk, let alone dance! Tom Delay is a good politician, but dancing is definitely not for him. Stick to your day jobs people!

What r u talking about Karagouonis? U need glasses. Tom Delay is great at dancing. I’ve watched all eight seasons n certainly he is better than a lot of them that i’ve seen. He won’t win the trophy, but his having fun doing this. U can tell he is enjoying it.
