The video is already up via You Tube - of DeLay Dancing the Cha Cha Cha to "Wild Thing" -
I hate having to post this, especially since Delay's Dirty Dancing on Rec list but I think it is important to show what a slime-bag Delay still really is :The GWB smirk, the gyrating, the rump shaking of the self-promoting weasel. Delay should be behind bars not Dancing with the Stars. We can send him home packing because I guarantee that if we don't he will stay on.
Based on the comments from the rec list diary, we need to vote for those with lower scores than DeLay.
Here's where you can vote for the other contestants on - ABC.com
I had originally suggested that we keep DeLay on but now I take back those comments (can I hr myself?) and get rid of this most horrible person.
**The Democratic Governors Association (DGA) produced a video to commemorate the occasion: Dancing with Tom DeLay and Mrs. Gerry Mandering
Here's their email message also:
DeLay's Role on Redistricting
DeLay, with the help of Republican Gov. Gov. Rick Perry, infamously gerrymandered the Texas Congressional map in 2003 in a plan that was so outrageous, the Justice Department launched an investigation. Florida voting groups say that the GOP’s last redistricting efforts in their state left the Congressional delegation badly out of whack.
In the coming election cycle, 39 governorships are up for grabs, and most of those governors will have a significant say in redistricting.
And national Republicans are planning to copy DeLay’s choreography and stage an encore, according to a GOP spokesman who had this to say about drawing the lines:
"The 2010 elections are almost as important or equally important as the elections this year [2008]. After redistricting in 2011, the governors are going to have a huge influence in determining the political makeup of this country...We could feasibly see 25 to 30 congressional seats swing as the result of redistricting. And the state legislatures and governor could determine that swing...The odds are, if it is a Republican in the governor's chair, the seat will end up in GOP hands.
