Levine told me that Edwards&#8217; admission Thursday that he fathered a daughter with a campaign videographer during his 2008 presidential run made him decide to submit nomination forms for his reporters in two categories: for distinguished investigative reporting by a team, presented in a series of articles, and for a distinguished example of reporting on national affairs. Two weeks ago, I called for the National Enquirer to get the prestigious journalism award because its reporters broke the story that has led to a grand jury investigation of Edwards&#8217; use of campaign funds and the political downfall of a two-time Democratic presidential candidate. At the time, Levine told me that, &#8220;Our Enquirer reporters do deserve to be nominated for a Pulitzer, but you know the mainstream media would rather see the Earth explode first!&#8221; Now that the Enquirer&#8217;s two-year reporting that Edwards had an out-of-wedlock child withRielle Hunter has been validated by him, the paper published this reaction: &#8220;John Edwards finally admitted his paternity of his love child to the world today in his 2nd &#8220;confession&#8221; in a complete vindication of the Enquirer&#8217;s exhaustive [...]]]></description>

Their two dance routines are funny and perfectly choreographed by Burke. DeLay found out on Friday that the producers have slotted him to perform last of all the eight male contestants on Monday&#8217;s show, which airs at 8 p.m. Eastern (7 p.m. Central). He said he doesn&#8217;t know how the lineup was determined, but thinks it will add to his nerves to have to wait through all the other performances. For his dance, DeLay will perform the cha-cha to a fun song that was a hit in the &#8217;60s. To avoid spoiling the show on Monday, I&#8217;m not disclosing the song, but DeLay described the choreography &#8212; which Burke created &#8212; as the story of his college years. (If you are imagining air guitar and moves that might necessitate knee pads, you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[url='http://www.emilymillerdc.com/2009/08/31/yahoo-news-the-hammer-does-the-hustle/';size='small';username='@EmilyMillerDC';Who knew former Representative Tom DeLay, aka &#8220;The Hammer,&#8221; had such a sense of humor? Such debonair dancing skills? Such grace under legal pressure? Jaws hit the floor earlier this month when ABC announced that Tom DeLay, the ex-GOP majority leader of the House of Representatives, would be a contestant on the next &#8220;Dancing with the Stars.&#8221; To say that it&#8217;s a surprise next move for someone who left Congress in 2006 under a legal cloud would be a mild understatement. In 2005, DeLay was indicted on conspiracy charges related to a campaign-finance probe; the case is still pending. Conrad Green, the show&#8217;s executive producer, told the L.A. Times that &#8220;we wanted someone sort of iconic and who the audience would have strong feelings about.&#8221; ABC has now released photos of DeLay and partner Cheryl Burke&#8220;practicing,&#8221; (or, Cheryl dancing while DeLay stands with his arms held out.) But according to friends and family, DeLay indeed has the dancing chops to be on the show. Politics Daily&#8217;s Emily Miller, who worked for the former representative, confirms &#8220;first-hand that DeLay, 62, can cut a rug.&#8221; Miller interviewed DeLay&#8217;s wife, Christine, who said that her husband can two-step, polka, waltz, country swing and &#8230; disco. (You read right: The Hammer can DISCO.) DeLay [...]]]></description>
