Comedian Christian Finnegan joins Countdown to talk about former Majority Leader Tom DeLay and his recent performance on Dancing With the Stars, which I am now
convinced pays exceptionally well. Partner Cheryl Burke deserves a medal of valor. Grab a peek at DeLay’s practice session. Burke choreographed a staid and uncomplicated Tango where he needed do little more than meet up with her and walk in time with the music, with a few flourishes thrown in, while all eyes followed her until the dramatic grand finale, where in theory she would roll into him with momentum and he would catch her for a dramatic dip.
Ms Burke was gracious enough to ask if DeLay was okay while she remained perilously tipped toward the floor thanks to an unexpected improvisation by DeLay, who – in an effort to catch and dip her, was swooped along by her momentum..skating a bit, as she rolled in to dip low for the grand finale, leaving her very close to improvising one which might have included rolling across the floor seductively, assuming she didn’t have a concussion. Grudgingly, to his credit…ah you know you want to watch it yourself!
In Literature Today, Christian Finnegan shares a few salient points about Sarah Palin’s newly released Big Book. He ponders who will read it – and if any of them are named Sarah, and how fans might acquire it. For my part,I can think of many things to do with the ghost-written, 400 page tome, not the least of which is as a handy block for your tires when parking on a steep hill.
