I edited /etc/yum.repos.d/*
and set enabled=0 on everything except base and updates. This fixed the issue.
This was stock centos 5.5 x86_64. I have added no other repos.

Did you ever fix the problem you had earlier with libxml2? If you haven't, it's going to affect everything you try to do with yum.

there are 2 solutions here. Try the plugin problem fix first. http://just-another.net/2008/11/22/centos-5-upgrade-and-yum/

Dude, that is just random url spamming in irrelevant situations. Whats on that webpage has nothing to do with Jerry's problem. Jerry is sitting behind a broken proxy server, or ( unlikely) hitting a bad mirror which is returning 404's or has a libxml issue that Les already pointed to.
That traceback is clearly a case of the xml layer in yum not getting parse-able content, or itself being broken.
