HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Tom DeLay may have dropped out of "Dancing With the Stars," but the former Republican House Majority Leader still has some unfinished business with his partner Cheryl Burke.
"I haven't made her a conservative yet!" the 62-year-old DeLay, who dropped out of the competition Tuesday due to stress fractures in both of his feet, tells Us Weekly. "That might have taken another month or so!"
While their run ended prematurely, Burke expressed appreciation for the chance to shake off some steam with the political figure.
"He taught me that politicians can dance!" she told the mag. "He's got some rhythm in those hips."
"I never knew my left from my right," added Burke. "I know that's embarrassing but I'm learning!"
"DWTS" host Tom Bergeron invited DeLay to return for the season finale and perform the Texas two-step, which was the dance he was expected to perform next week. Burke said she's already on board for the idea.
"I'll go back to Houston where he's from and he's going to take me to a dance hall!," she said.
"Entourage" star Debi Mazar also excited "DWTS" on Tuesday as she and her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy were eliminated.
