OMG! Tom Delay is wonderful (barf alert)

Ever since he was a young man, he and his wife have taken in foster kids. Not just little kids — older kids — sometimes what others call "dangerous kids." He gives them a good home and good opportunities and, for many, they go on to form a good life.

He did the same for harassed Jewish families during the height of the Soviet Union (search). Some he helped secret out. He forced a Republican president to talk about them, save them and ultimately free them.

At one point, this born-again Christian even helped arrange a Passover Seder for a Jewish family that had never had the privilege.

He's helped minority-owned businesses cut through red tape and have a fighting chance and helped others get the government off their back so they could get on their feet.

He gives a lot to charity, but tells those charities not to say a word about who's the one giving.

He comes from a party that many say is all about the rich, but most of the time he devotes himself to helping the poorest of the poor.

He's given unwed mothers a chance and those from broken homes a hope.

You might know him. His name is Tom DeLay.

1. So, by virtue of his many virtues, he is entitled......
to do whatever he wants? If that isn't the definition of corruption, it should be.

2. OMG! Tom Delay isn't an immoral, unethical, lying criminal after all.
He's the second coming of Christ!

Hallelujah praise Jesus!

3. Isn't it amazing that this story does not disappear like so many of
the other Bush & CO scandals?

Is it really those "awful lib'ruls" that are out to get DeLay, or are those "awful lib'ruls" being scapegoated for destroying DeLay?

I still maintain that the push for this story is from the other side. Newt can't run unless DeLay is gone.
