Tom, Tom, The Crazy Son
Y’all, when I say it’s Christmas, you better go buy some little twinkling lights and I say that Tom DeLay is running for something.
A friend showed me this today at the SDEC meeting in Austin. This sign was in a shop window in Luling, Texas. The Caldwell County Republicans are hosting Tom DeLay to come speak at a fundraiser. Click the little one to see the big one.
Tom is still trying to sell his book, which you can buy for nickel. It’s entitled “No Retreat, No Surrender” which is ironic since DeLay has retreated or surrendered everything he’s ever started, including a foster care facility that he screwed up horribly and kicked all the little children out within a year. It was so messed up that no other charity would even touch it so it sat empty for five years.
Hell, this is a man who quit from Dancing with the Stars.
No Surrender, my patootie.
He’s broke and needs a way to make money. He’s tried a few schemes but they all fell few so his website is still begging money.
There ain’t nothing hot about Hot Tub Tom.
Thanks to Patti for the great picture.
Hey, somebody that sells on Amazon has the book for ONE PENNY! Course, you gotta pay shipping unless you ordered a whole stack which in that case you prolly ccould get it shipped to you free for your next event.
1Grifters gotta grift and Delay is one by definition.
2I clicked on the site for Tubby Tom, and my warning screens came up that it was unsafe and the might try and steal info from my computer. Why am I not Surprised ?
3In a perfect world Delay would have to pay people to take his book.
Which they could then use in the appropriate room in their home.
4How weird. If I were doing that flyer I would mention something about Tom Delay’s position in the U.S. Congress. Are they ashamed of it or something?
5I tried to go to his site, but my virus protector won’t let me. That’s a dang good virus detector.
6Cheryl: Same here. It said Foxfire can’t guarantee a “secure connection.” It must be crawling with malware!
7Dear Mr. DeLay, I am sitting in the smallest room in my house. I have a page from your book in front of me. Soon it will be behind me. With apologies to Oscar Wilde.
8My guess for what he’s planning to run for is Congress. It’s certainly been long enough for his true constituency to forget all the bad things he did. He’ll try to get back into Congress and back into the Republican leadership. Might make it, too.
9If you know how, you can get your browser to let you go whare it’s not safe. I don’t know why, but I went there so the rest of you don’t have to. There is nothing to see, it’s a dead website. The security warning is because the browser expects a certificate from tomdelay.com, and the certificate is from the new owner, uscontributions.com. Tom has even lost his domain name. Poor Tom.
10Hey, I feel sorry for DeLay. Us authors, of which I bet there are several here, just think: it’s gonna be our penny or nickel term some day.
11Turn, not term. Or maybe that was one of those slips folks talk about.
Just curious: Did Gohmert ever publish a book?
12Could it be a twofer? Seems pRick can’t meet his legal fees, while maybe Tommy the Twit may be dialing for legal fee cash, too.
While the “outreach” program is smashing Reince like a tsunami against a bulkhead, the indictments are a millimeter away from the Klown Kar. The Outlaw Jersey Whale, Snotty Wanker, Jeb?, Piyush, Kasich, Huckster are sinking in the mire of their own making.
There has been speculation as to the RNC taking out T-Rump. Many months remaining until the spring frolics and another bankruptcy doing to T-Rump what the RNC is impotent to do.
Bernie, Hillary or Joe; we’re good.
13What’s the matter, Tom? Run out of cockroaches?
14Marge Wood,
Did Gohmert ever read a book?
And that “CCRP Liberty Dinner” at $60 a seat, undoubtedly worth every penny if it’s an ‘all-you-can-eat BBQ’…a side of Tom DeLay is just criminal though.
(for you non-Central/South Texans, Caldwell County is sort of ground zero for Texas BBQ; yes, there are many other places to find great BBQ, but it’s concentrated there).
I would hope every Democratic Party county organization has a website better than ( http://caldwellcountytexanrepublicans.org/ ), which isn’t too bad actually.
15“The Honorable Tom DeLay” is absolutely the best example of a paradox ever. Ev-ahhhh!!!
16Tony, I was about to say that there’s a glaring error on that sign, but you beat me to it.
Also, “Stand Firm” makes me wonder if they’re handing out Viagra as a party favor.
17It’s a strange world in which Sarah Palin’s books at the remainder table are worth more than DeLay’s.
18Old white guys buy Palin’s tripe hoping to see boobs. Little do they know there are boobs everywhere in all wingnut books,just not the kind old white wingnuts are hoping for. That is prolly the top reason why this crud sells.
19Tony and Rhea, thinking the same thing. Honorable? Tom Delay? In whose fairy tale?
20People would pay money to be near him??? That is really hard to believe…I know there are many crazy people out there…I live in very red East TN but this is particularly awful.
21Shucks, this is tantamount to begging on street corners with a chipped china cup! And, boy, he sure did earn that fate!
22Dishonorable was spelled wrong.
23@Marion….thanks for that.
Does anyone question where the money goes?
24Perhaps the Republicans should change their party’s name to the “Oxymoron Party”? Bombing people so that they’ll greet us as liberators, the “Honorable Ton Delay”, reducing the deficit by cutting taxes on the rich… so many oxymorons.
25“Pathetic self justification from a man with no values who betrayed the conservative movement. In an ideal world this book would have been a prison memoir. Instead we the people must be satisfied that this grub has left the Congress.”

I hope they have stomach pumps on hand.

RepubAnon, I think you spelled that wrong. I’m sure you inadvertently added an “oxy” when describing Republican morons. It’s an easy mistake.
29Rhea and Tony,
I was thinking the same thing and was wondering if it was one of those secret messages/code words Republicans use with their crowd. Maybe the only followers he has is the Viagra crowd!
It usually is “Stand Tall” with someone, as if you were proud to be part of their group.
Guess that’s not the case with Tom!!
30RE: DeLay’s hinky website,
It has a very secretive internet ‘Whois
database’ registration and only allows contact by USPS Express or Certified mail (which identifies you), first time I’ve seen this; and is ironic considering ol’ Tom is/was a prime mover in trying to gut the Post Office.
I’ll bet all the ‘Pukes have gone undercover with their online presence too, Kochroaches hiding in darkness as best they can.
His website seems to still have the same ownership since 2000, through 2020, so any perversion of it by hackers or other nefarious malware purveyors are Tom’s responsibility.
Of course we all know how Repuke “personal responsibility” works…

Network Solutions is a rent-a-domain company. You pay them to use a domain name that they have on hand. Their only relationship with DeLay would be renting him a domain, and it looks like they haven’t been paid, so they took it back.
http://www.networksolutions.com/
it’s a legitimate company, and they own tomdelay.com, not Tom DeLay.
32Mah Fellow Murkuhn,
Sorry, you’re absolutely wrong here, MFM.
(I’ll allow that we don’t rly rly know exactly who actually owns Tom’s web domain name (it’s HIDDEN), but looking at the origination in 2000, renewal in 2015, and final date in 2020 for that domain, the chain of ownership seems intact to me: with ol’ Tom hisself or his political appaRATus)
Network Solutions, LLC is a generic domain name registrar, one of the largest (like the execrable GoDaddy), and provides many other internet related services. It happens to hold the registry function for TD’s web site.
Perfect Privacy.com, a separate company, provides a layer of ‘invisibility’ or privacy for anyone or any entity that owns a “domain name”, like ” TomDeLay.com “, for a small fee of course.
PP cloaks your own private domain information (your name, address, tel nos., etc., normally required to be provided when a domain name is registered) behind theirs (as shown), allowing you to keep your own private information hidden (just as I stated).
I won’t post it, but a trace of TWMDBS yields lots of information about our beloved ‘JJ’ from here.
Let me quote from the ” perfectprivacy.com ” website itself (I wish JJ had some highlighting capability, but note the very last two sentences, the last in particular:
“Did you know that every time you register a domain name, the law requires that your personal information is added to the public “WHOIS” database, where it becomes instantly available to anyone, anywhere, anytime? By making your name, address, phone number, email and other personal information public, you, your business, and your family become vulnerable to spammers, scammers, and other Internet predators who can target you for solicitation, fraud, identity theft… or worse.
Perfect Privacy eliminates these risks by ensuring that your personal information stays private. By signing up for Perfect Privacy when you register your domain, our information is published in the WHOIS database, instead of yours. ”
And also:
“Equally as important, with Perfect Privacy you retain the full benefits of domain registration. You can sell, renew, cancel or transfer your domain; set-up name servers for your domain; and resolve disputes involving your domain.
To make your next domain registration private, register with Web.com or other associated registrars and simply choose the Perfect Privacy option during sign up.”
33MFM, I’m certainly not trying to be rude, I tend to get in the innartoobz weeds sometimes. I just can’t resist trying to further explain it all if the subject comes up.
34I realize that few know much about how it all works, and I’ve been in what is now called “IT” or whatever since the 1960’s (long before the public internet and PC’s, etc), and have a fairly comprehensive knowledge of it (IMO, but fading rapidly as senility gains on my sorry butt…).
