Tom Delay...WTF?

Back in June and then later as the presidential campaigns heated up I began to see a face from the past...Tom Delay, R-Texas. He was mouthing off against Obama accusing him of being a Marxist "unless [Obama] proves otherwise...." At the time, this struck me as being idiotic in the extreme but then so much of what was being said by Republicans about Obama was idiotic so I didn't pay much attention. It continued to bother me, though that Tom Delay was being given any credibility as he was forced to step down as the Speaker of the House because he was indicted on several charges in his home state, all having to do in one way or another with rigging his own and Bush's election in that state.

This newest resurgence of Republican idiocy...now trying to claim some kind of nefarious connection between Obama and Blagojevich...brought Delay's comments back to the forefront of my consciousness so I went looking. Delay has still not been to trial! He was indicted back in 2005 for crimes that occurred in 2002...WTF are they waiting for...? the statute of limitations to take effect or for SPB to pardon him before he's been convicted?!! It appears Delay has found himself a judge (Pat Priest) who is willing to wait on the outcome of two appeals that were heard over a year ago, and are only barely related to the charges Delay faces.
