Dancing With the Star Season 9 Cast Revealed

This morning, on Good Morning America, the cast for Dancing With the Stars Season 9 was revealed. I am literally the biggest fan of the show so this is BIG for me. Although there is the typical cast of actors, singers, models, and athletes, there is one surpise this year, A POLITICIAN!?!?!?!
Former House Majority Leader under the Bush Administration, Tom DeLay, is competing on DWTS. Maybe someone finally took my joke seriously. Shortly after Season 3 I made a small joke about politicians being on the show. Last year when all the preisdential candidates were coming out, I made a suggestion on a DWTS MySpace Group that instead of actors, singers, models etc. since it's an election year, let's have the presidential candidates dance. Think about it, we're a country who cares more about who the next American Idol or the next champion of DWTS than our next president. So why not have all of them compete and while they're backstage with Samantha, express their political views and promises. Politics made fun again after great entertainment.
As for the rest of the cast, typical celebrity cast although I will comment on a few.
Melissa Joan Hart: If I remember correctly early on they asked her several times but due to pregnancy and motherhood she wasn't able to. Since she didn't appear on the seasons afterwards I thought they had given up on asking her. I guess not.
Aaron Carter: During the boy band era there were 3 major boy bands. Backstreet Boys, N'SYNC, and 98 Degrees. So far they've had a former 98 Degrees member, Drew Lachey, 2 former N'SYNC members, Lance Bass and Joey Fatone, I was hoping sooner or later they were going to have a Backstreet Boy on the show soon, completing the boy band circuit. Aaron Carter is the brother of Backstreet Boy Nick Carter so I guess this is close enough.
As some of you know, I started a separate blog about my week long Toyota Prius experience. Maybe I'll start a separate blog about Dancing With the Stars. I'll keep you all up to date.
