The first round of Dancing With The Stars is over. That picture on the left tells all that you need to know about the loser, but we’ll get to that in a minute.

Jerry Springer was terrible but was spared the judge’s axe. That’s probably for the better since he was just fired from Air America radio today, and we know that liberals can’t handle bad news very well. So no cutting and running for Springer — he will stay the course for another week.

Tucker Carlson was the deserving loser. I’ve never actually liked Tucker Carlson as a conservative television commentator. To me he is lightweight, like a high-school kid on a debating team. He is the conservative they stick in front of a camera so they can say he is their token conservative. Tucker Carlson is the Alan Colmes of the right.

But that’s enough ranting about Tucker Carlson. He lost, so my sympathies must be with him and any family members who watched. And as the photo suggests, his partner Elena Grinenko is quite talented in a man’s arms. It ain’t her fault she got stuck with a bow tie.

Perhaps it should be no surprise that former NFL running back Emmitt Smith brought his best touchdown moves to the dance floor. Oh he can dance all right. And that’s lucky for us because he is partnered with the all-time hottie on Dancing with the Stars, Cheryl Burke. So we can look forward to many more weeks of Cheryl and hope that his partner doesn’t spike her.
