Former House Majority Leader Tom Delay, "God wrote the Constitution."

Courtesy of Raw Story:

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) this week warned Americans to remember that God “wrote the Constitution” based on the Bible. 

During an appearance on John Hagee Ministries’ Global Evangelism Television (GETV) network on Wednesday, host Matt Hagee asked the Texas Republican where the country had gone wrong. 

“I think we got off the track when we allowed our government to become a secular government,” DeLay explained. “When we stopped realizing that God created this nation, that he wrote the Constitution, that it’s based on biblical principles.”

"Wait, wtf?"

Okay, THIS is why we need to keep religion out of our public school systems.

How could you possibly argue that the Bible was written by men with a political agenda, when some of these idiots think that God himself took pen to paper to write the Constitution as well?

And this idiot. Tom Delay, was at one time one of the most powerful politicians in the country.

Of course that was before he got caught money laundering and was punished by being forced to appear on Dancing with the Stars.

Former House majority leader Tom Delay is found guilty, guilty, guilty, of money laundering.

From the Statesman.com:

Tom DeLay, the former U.S. House majority leader whose name became synonymous with the Republicans’ controversial rise to power in the Texas House, was found guilty this evening of laundering money in connection with the 2002 elections.

Jurors sent a note on yellow legal paper that a verdict had been reached to the judge at 4:46 p.m. They had deliberated for nearly 19 hours, since Monday afternoon.

The unanimous verdict on two criminal charges was read to a hushed courtroom three minutes later. DeLay, who moments earlier had been smiling, appeared shocked as the 12 jurors — six men and six women — reported their decision one by one.

And it could not happen to a more deserving person.

Personally I thought he should have received the gas chamber just for wearing this outfit alone.

Hmm, former politician goes on DWTS and then ends up convicted of a felony.

I believe I have had a change of heart.  I DO think Sarah Palin should go on DWTS next season.

But only if she loses to the black guy again, and then goes straight to prison.



A dancing Tom Delay called "crazier than Sarah Palin". So Sarah Palin is the new measure of crazy? How proud are you Alaska?

Paired with professional partner Cheryl Burke - a two-time winner when dancing with singer Drew Lachey and football star Emmitt Smith - the former Texas Congressman known as "the Hammer" sits third from the bottom on the judges' scorecards after one night of competition, the season premiere.

DeLay and Burke danced a cha-cha-cha to open the competition, performing to the Troggs' 1965 hit "Wild Thing."

The judges were left shocked by DeLay's hip-shaking moves - Tonioli proclaimed, "You're crazier than Sarah Palin!" - but were less-than-impressed with the actual dancing.

I can't imagine who would want to watch this old fart stumble around the dance floor.

If you wanted to see an out of shape middle aged man trying to shake his groove thing, you could witness that by simply going to any wedding reception in the country and waiting for Uncle Phil to slam back a couple of glasses of champagne before waddling out onto the dance floor to make a fool of himself before losing his balance and falling into the wedding cake.

Haven't we seen that a hundred times on America's Funniest Home videos?

But the thing about this article that caught my eye is that this Bruno Tonioli guy, a British choreographer/TV Personality, has decided that the barometer for crazy is our own Caribou Barbie. Has this gone international? Does EVERYBODY use the Sarah Palin bar to determine levels of insanity?

Oh sure we use it in Alaska, but hell we saw it first hand as she delivered batshit crazy speech, after batshit crazy speech, and then went home to eat Taco Bell Crunchwraps and watch wedding programs as our state slipped into disrepair. We KNOW Sarah Palin crazy when we see it.

But I had no idea that the entire world was going to use our Twitter Quitter as a measuring tool. I mean don't they have to pay us some user fee or something?

After all, if WE hadn't voted her in as Governor you all would never even have known about her. Shouldn't that be worth a couple of pennies per use at least? I may have to talk to a lawyer.

And by the way, speaking of crazy, if you are spending your Monday evenings watching a disgraced Republican Ex-Congressman stumbling around the dance floor while groping some poor young dancer desperately trying to resist vomiting all over him, you may be due for a "checkup from the neck up" yourself.
