The former Republican leader has suffered from stress fractures in both of his feet, and his doctors have advised him to stop dancing.

The injuries didn't stop DeLay from impressing the judges Monday night, dancing a samba in a red, white and blue outfit with a sparkly elephant on the back. He changed into orthopedic booties after his performance, according to People.

"What's a little pain when we can party?" DeLay said Monday night.
