"Unless Tom DeLay proves me wrong...."

The other day, Tom DeLay - you remember him? former House Majority Leader, long-time pal of Jack Abramoff, forced to resign when he was indicted for money laundering and conspiracy? - had this to say about Barack Obama:



I have said publicly, and I will again, that unless he proves me wrong, he is a Marxist.

Now, I think you'd probably agree with me that the first question we should ask is - why is somebody under indictment and awaiting trial being given a platform by a national radio show to say anything? But that's because we still believe that probable criminals (and, to be fair, he hasn't been convicted - yet) shouldn't be trying to taint the jury pool. Of course, there's that old stand-by rule - It's OK If You're A Republican.

Let's set that aside for now, however. Since Mr. DeLay has set the standard for making claims about Mr. Obama, it must now be acceptable to make similar claims about Republicans. Have some fun - Aristocrats -style!

"Unless they prove me wrong, Tom DeLay, Rick Santorum and Karl Rove keep a secret love-nest just off K Street in which they engage in goat-blowing sessions while watching the secret videos of George HW Bush in basque and stilletto heels whipping a bound and ball-gagged Ronald Reagan."

If this information proves to be incorrect, I will be happy to provide a full retraction and apology.
