Tom DeLay to Two-Step on 'Dancing With the Stars' Finale
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyTom DeLay will be dancing the Texas Two-Step with Cheryl Burke on the season finale of "Dancing With the Stars" Tuesday night.

D.C. Unsung Hero: Malika Saada-Saar of the Rebecca Project
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyStatus in Washington, D.C., is based on power and access to power, which leads to wealth and media fame. Rarely in this town do those who have power or access to power turn down the ensuing wealth or fame. Malika Saada-Saar is one of those selfless few. Saada-Saar is the founder and executive director of the Rebecca Project for Human Rights, a non-partisan, non-profit which advocates for public policy reform and justice on behalf of women on the margins of society -- the poor, the addicted, the victims of abuse and domestic violence, and especially those in prison. Saada-Saar has effectively ...
Emily's Post: From Gossip Fodder to Gossip Columnist
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyHaving been fodder for every gossip column in town, starting today I'm turning the tables -- and becoming one D.C. gossip columnist who fully gets what it's like to be on the receiving end. Everybody knows Washington politics is not for the meek or thin-skinned. And I've lived, worked and loved D.C. politics and media since I was 18 years old. In the years since, I've toiled on the Hill, at the State Department, in the Bush 43 administration, and for the Washington bureaus of two TV network news divisions. I've also counted chads in the Florida recount, run for my life from the Capitol on ...
Tom DeLay Drops Out of 'Dancing With the Stars' Due to Injury
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyViewers of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" were shocked Tuesday night when Tom DeLay announced that because of stress fractures in both feet, he was leaving the show. Earlier, DeLay and his professional dance partner, Cheryl Burke, looked stunned to hear that their samba the previous night, on his injured feet, had garnered enough viewer votes to make them "safe" to go to the next round. DeLay told me in an interview before the show's premiere that despite the pre-stress fracture in one foot, "I'll dance until the bone breaks." In the past week, the pre-stress fracture was diagnosed as a ...

Tom DeLay's Not the Only One Dancing
By Mary C. Curtis - Politics DailyIf Tom DeLay can do it . . . Whatever you think about the former Texas congressman, you've got to give him credit for shimmying on the nationally televised stage -- in a ruffled shirt -- on "Dancing With the Stars," as my colleague Emily Miller reports. In my birthday month, I've discovered one very nice thing about getting older. You're long past worrying about what people might think, so you're open to new experiences. At a certain point, sucking in your gut becomes futile. Don't worry about slipping up or down; no one is looking. When the North Carolina Dance Theatre announced a free ...

By Emily Miller - Politics DailyLOS ANGELES -- Walking out of a restaurant in Los Angeles last week, the former House Majority Leader was stopped by a stranger. "Aren't you Tom DeLay?" the man asked.
