Dancing with the ex-Congressmen

You know how Dave Barry used to emphasize that the following silly thing he was writing about was something he was not making up? My dear reader, I assure you, I am not making this up. I've got a copy of the email myself.

Dear Friend,

I am writing to you today in an effort to help a good friend of mine, country music singer and GOP supporter Sara Evans. Sara will be competing this year on ABC’s smash hit "Dancing with the Stars" beginning Tuesday, September 12, at 8 pm Eastern/ 7pm Central. Sara has recently launched a new website www.DancingWithSara.com that will connect her fans to exclusive behind the scenes material from the show. Register with this website for free today and then watch Sara compete starting September 12 - and don’t forget that YOUR VOTE HELPS DETERMINE THE WINNER!

Sara Evans has been a strong supporter of the Republican Party and represents good American values in the media. From singing at the 2004 Republican Convention to appearing with candidates in the last several election cycles, we have always been able to count on Sara for her support of the things we all believe in. Let’s show Sara that same support by watching and voting for her each week to help her win this competition. One of her opponents on the show is ultra liberal talk show host Jerry Springer. We need to send a message to Hollywood and the media that smut has no place on television by supporting good people like Sara Evans.

Sara will be a great representative of the values that we want to see in the media and we should all support her to keep her on the show as long as possible. Register today with www.DancingWithSara.com for complete access to Sara on "Dancing with the Stars" and then watch her starting September 12. Remember, your votes will help determine the winner so be sure to tune in and vote each week.

Sincerely,

Tom DeLay

No word on whether or he plans to threaten retribution if the panel of judges isn't comprised exclusively of Republicans. As a commenter said at the above link, there's no point in asking whether DeLay doesn't have anything better to do with his time, because quite clearly he doesn't. I just hope he bases a chapter in his new book on this.
