"Dancing with the Stars" wanted Bill Clinton, before reaching out to Tom DeLay
"Dancing" set out to get a politican this season, and former President Clinton was the show's "dream booking," says exec producer Conrad Green. He adds that a call was placed to Clinton's office, and "I think the phone was quickly thrown down." As for DeLay, it turns out the indicted former congressman is an avid fan of "Dancing." "Within 10 minutes (of calling him) we were done," says Green pointing out that DeLay dances with his wife and his daughter is a professional country-and-western dancer. PLUS: Capitol Hill is "bemused"; DeLay has been working with a personal trainer for months.
