Like a little yelping puppy, every now and then Tom DeLay gets up on his hind legs and pitches a fit. It’s funny the first few times and then it gets to be really irritating.

By the way, a local Republican told me last week that Tom had been “exonerated” of all charges. I almost slapped him. Y’all, there are just frontiers of ignorance out there. There’s unexplored territories of what stoopid shinola people will believe when they are told crap.

Tom DeLay has never been exonerated. A jury of his peers found him guilty. After the trial and during the sentencing phase, the judge said he agreed with the jury’s verdict. For a brief period a Texas court of appeals overturned Tom’s conviction. But that was appealed and oral arguments were this summer.  The case is still in legal purgatory. Tom was indicted in 2005 and since then he has paid high priced lawyers to keep his fluffy butt outta jail.

I just needed to say that.

Anyway, Tom yelped —

President Obama’s left-leaning political ideology combined with sympathies for Islam acquired from being raised by a Muslim stepfather paralyze him as he faces the threat posed by the Islamic jihadist group ISIS, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay told WND in an interview.

“In defending America against radical Islamic terrorism, Barack Obama cannot be trusted,” DeLay said.

“Barack Obama was raised a Muslim, and he claims he is a Christian, and I can’t say for sure whether he’s a Christian or not, but he has shown over the last few years that he has great sympathies with Islam,” DeLay explained.

Oh Good Lord, Tom.  You have great sympathies with tent evangelists and snake oil salesmen.
