Tom Delay seeks support from his base, crazy people!

If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog. Or, in DeLay's case, call Pat Robertson.

Before returning to Houston yesterday, DeLay appeared on the preacher's 700 Club, where he got some much-needed support.

"This a shocking thing this man is doing to you!" Robertson told DeLay, who readily agreed, saying, "It's all politics."

"They say a clever prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich if he gets the right grand jury," Robertson continued. "Was this sort of a setup?"

"This is a ham sandwich with no ham," DeLay said. Laughter flowed from the audience.

Hearing DeLay's description of Texas prosecutor Ronnie Earle, Robertson asked: "Can't they bring charges against him for prosecutorial misconduct? This does seem to be egregious."

It was time for Robertson to wrap up the interview. "You're a hero to the conservatives in this country, and a lot of people are with you," he said.

Maybe Tom thinks that if he surrounds himself with people even crazier and more unethical then he is, that he will seem innocent by comparison. What kind of fruitcake runs to freaking Pat Robertson for an endorsement? The guy thinks that God is talking to him and that he can get the big guy to put a hit on someone for him.

If there are any moderates paying attention then I encourge you to continue to pay attention cause I have a feeling that the show is just getting under way.
