Tom DeLay Mocks His Dancing with the Stars High Heels

Corrupt scumbag Tom DeLay appeared on Hardball yesterday, and, aside from demanding to see Obama's birth certificate, produced the shoe he's wearing on his upcoming stint on Dancing with the Stars. DeLay took the opportunity to mock the heeled shoe as girly.

Says DeLay: "Look at this shoe. A Texan doesn't wear a shoe like this. This is what they're makin' me wear. It's a little pump with high heels."

Asks Matthews: "Aren't you gonna be a little light in that shoe, I think?"

I added this as an update to my post earlier today regarding Jason Bellini's report at The Daily Beast which the Human Rights Campaign has denied that HRC made a deal to delay 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' in favor of advancing other gay rights measures.

HRC's Joe Solmonese and Lorri Jean of the L.A. Gay and Lesbian Center spoke about "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and equal federal recognition for gays and lesbians with Chris Matthews last night on Hardball. They also discussed the Olson-Boies federal challenge to Prop 8.

Buchanan answers: "If I knew two men, together, or somethin' like that, and one of 'em was sick and dying, would I give his friend time off to go see him? Of course I would."

Sure, Pat'll give 'em maybe a few hours.
