DeLay delays Sanity

Tom Delay has written a book, called “No Retreat, No Surrender: One American’s Fight.”
It's officially been out for two weeks and isn't doing too well on the best seller list. In fact, it's not even close to being near that list.

DeLay has completely fed into the entire Bush/Cheney mantra. Liberals and Democrats are the root of all that's evil... yada, yada, yada....

Tom DeLay writes, “Liberals have finally joined the ranks of scoundrels like Hitler.”

Let me see if I have this right? DeLays main man goes off, starts wars of aggression against a country that was never a threat and is eyeing his next victim and has the absolute audacity to liken liberals with Hitler?

To make this even worse, here's the entire quote :

I believe it was Adolf Hitler who first acknowledged that the big lie is more effective than the little lie, because the big lie is so audacious, such an astonishing immorality, that people have a hard time believing anyone would say it if it wasn’t true.

You know, the big lie — like the Holocaust never happened or dark-skinned people are less intelligent than light-skinned people. Well, by charging this big lie about money laundering, liberals have finally joined the ranks of scoundrels like Hitler.


I can not, on my best day, say this as well as Olbermann, so, I'll let him:

Let’s try the gentlest interpretation.

Mr. DeLay believes that the accusation that he violated Texas campaign finance laws is on some kind of par with claims that light-skinned people are more intelligent than dark-skinned people.

Now that’s the gentlest one.

The somewhat less kind interpretation?

He’s equating anybody, charging him — just him — with anything, even if it were a lie, with the Nazis.

Just by going after Tom DeLay, you are like that old “scoundrel” Hitler.

So Tom DeLay is as important as — what? — democracy in 1930s Germany?

Poland in 1939?

The Jewish people?

So Mr. DeLay, go back to your Google and type in the name “Tom DeLay” and the phrase “Delusions of Grandeur.”

And you get 11,500 results.

To be fair, DeLay didn't actually write "his" book. Judging by his performance on Chris Matthews' TV show ("I don't have my glasses"), he hasn't read his book, either.

Why thank you, you two, you're both very sweet!

Yes CQ, he is pathetic!

PTC, don't change a thing! Art, like poetry, is in the heart and mind of the beholder.
I've been promising to post my self portrait, I'd LOVE critiques. Should I?

This might be childlish, bellow the belt stuff from me but I can't keep my big yap shut. Is it just me, but doesn't this crook, DeLay, resemble that Mad magazine poster boy...what's his face? I am asking, because I just learned that not only is he a before mentioned crook but an alcoholic and a WOMANIZER. I am fully aware, that power is an aphrodisiac but to this extent...

"I just learned that not only is he a before mentioned crook but an alcoholic and a WOMANIZER."

Ah ha! That's why he and shrub get along so well!

Now that you mention it, he does look like an adult version.
