Out Of The Clear Blue
Out of the clear blue, someone sent me this picture of Tom DeLay …
That’s notorious Russian mobster and Putin confidant Alexander Torshin, along with Hot Tub Tom and NRA President David Keene…..
There is no date or location associated with the picture.
DeLay got himself into some sticky wicket with the Russians years ago. He took a dark money donation from them to start the Alexander Strategy Group along with Jack Abramoff and Ed Buckham. They were DeLay’s money pimps. In 2006, the Houston Chronicle reported …
The network was used to promote causes championed by DeLay, according to the Washington Post.
The group raised $2.5 million from three Abramoff clients, including $1 million from Russian businessmen, the Post reported. Abramoff worked with Buckham to organize a 1997 trip to Moscow by DeLay.
All of this crapola with DeLay and the Russians was in the early 1990’s. He took a million dollars from them in dark money. I wrote about it at the time and I have looked all morning for the article I wrote and I can’t find the danged thing. It was an outrageous satire piece asking why DeLay wanted to keep the donor a secret. I asked, “Did he get it from the commies in Russia?”
My boss lady suggested that was why Tom was so afraid of me and got panicked when I showed up at his trial. I was right. The most outrageous, shameful place he could have gotten the money is where he actually got the money. DeLay thought I knew something. I didn’t – it was just a dopey guess.
Anyway, maybe it was even worse than we suspected. I can’t date the picture but it looks to me like it was after DeLay’s second facelift, which would place it around the past four years. But that’s just a guess.
And God help us all — he’s hired someone to write a another book for him. Please feel free to go to Amazon to review it. It doesn’t matter that you haven’t read it. I can assure you that Tom hasn’t either.
Hey Tom, guess what rhymes with DeLay … Go Away. Seriously reach for a scrap of dignity and do not make a spectacle of yourself. Retire to the home that needs to be built for disgraced politicians where you DON”T write memoirs no one will read and the orderlies will kindly break your legs if you so much as think about appearing on any “reality” shows, especially those that showcase your two left feet.
1I. Cannot. Stand. That. Ex-exterminator! Those fumes certainly did a number on his brain.
I am sure he is up to his eyeballs in Russian scandals.
Yep – headed to Amazon right now to review the book.
2I grew up in Louisiana, home of some of the worst politicians in history, Governors going to prison, Huey Long and the whole Long clan. But you Texans are fast overtaking us: Delay, Gohmert, Rafael, shall I go on? Must be something in the water of the Sabine River.

4I think it was NPR who interviewed somebody about this particular event because he was a witness. Out of the attendance at the event, some NRA guy invited Torshin to observe American election in action. He took Torshin to a polling place and Torshin had clear run of everything he wanted too see and know. Thats how they do it folks. They find some gullible eejit and take all the advantage open to them. This event however sounds more like feeding Torshin off a silver plate.
5The perfect Dire Straights song for Tom “The Bugman” DeLay-
(squish squash, Tom reminds me of those clouds of super nasty creosote bugs that I used to drive through on US Hwy 87 around San Angelo (mostly north, to Sterling City/Big Spring); what a stinkin’ mess on the windshield, piled up so thick you couldn’t hardly see, took forever to clean/wash the filthy sticky bastards off):
The Bug, Mark Knopfler, Dire Straights–
“Well it’s a strange old game – you learn it slow
One step forward and it’s back to go
You’re standing on the throttle
You’re standing on the brakes
In the groove ’til you make a mistake
Sometimes you’re the windshield
Sometimes you’re the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you’re a fool in love
Sometimes you’re the louisville slugger
Sometimes you’re the ball
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you’re going lose it all…
One day you got the glory
6One day you got none
One day you’re a diamond
And then you’re a stone”
.
Now y’all get that earworm outta your heads…heheh
Is it just me, or have Paul Manafort and Tom DeLay ever been seen in the same room together?
7I posted this one-star review: “If you spend money on this book, it’s God’s way of telling you that you have too much money.”
