My "WTF?" of the day, Tom DeLay edition...

Hasn't DeLay ever heard of Grant, Harding or Nixon?



Tom DeLay: Obama Will 'Go Down As The Worst President That Has Ever Served This Nation'

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Thursday, 9/22/2016 10:25 am

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay appeared on Newsmax Prime yesterday, where he declared that President Obama will go down as the worst president in American history.

"I have said it and said it publicly and I've said it proudly," DeLay stated, "this president is a Marxist, he believes in globalization, he believes in world order, he is a socialist from the get-go and we're getting what we deserve because we made him president of the United States."

"His legacy is going to go down as the worst president that has ever served this nation," he continued. "And when we start finding out what is going on and what has been going on as the years go by, we're going to be disgusted even more. January can't come too fast for me, that's for sure."

I think the phrase "fart in the wind" captures the import of his ramblings.

To find a President worse that Obama...7 years or so.

And a huge percentage of Americans agree.

The conviction was overturned.

The trial court's judgment was overturned by the Texas Court of Appeals, an intermediate appellate court, on September 19, 2013, with a ruling that "the evidence in the case was 'legally insufficient to sustain DeLay's convictions'", and DeLay was formally acquitted.[1] The State of Texas appealed the acquittal to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals[2][3] On October 1, 2014, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the appellate court decision overturning DeLay's conviction.[4]
