| Prayers For Atheists - "Tom Delay" video |
|
|
I made this a few nights ago using Windows Movie Maker (which is really fun to work with; I recommend it). Tom Delay is such a scumbag that I figured he should be made to look as ridiculous as possible. I suggest Googling pictures of him on "Dancing with the Stars" for a good laugh.
Fun facts about Tom Delay:
In 2005, he became the first ever Congressional leader to be indicted - he was charged with criminal violations of state campaign finance laws and money laundering.
In addition to being a major player in the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal, he helped launch the K Street Project - a movement to encourage major lobbying firms to hire only Republicans in their top positions.
He tried to get the FBI to arrest 11 Texas Congressional Democrats when they refused to vote on Republican legislation.
He received an unprecedented number of House Ethics violations and charges of questionable conduct.
He compared the Environmental Protection Association to the Gestapo.
An evangelical Christian, he said that the shootings at Columbine happened in part BECAUSE OF EVOLUTION BEING TAUGHT IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
All this while he was the House Majority Leader - arguably the most influential member of Congress.
Yep, he's a scumbag. Sometimes, you find out about something (or someone) so completely loathsome and reprehensible that the only response you can manage is: FUCK YOU. This song is that response condensed to 1 minute, 21 seconds. |

We should make April 21st into "Fuck You, Tom Delay" Day. I also want to know more about this scumbag landlord, Pete McHale. |

Pete is a guy who tried to do us wrong (Sage included). In the end, he did us wrong, but we got the last word. We got the last word with STYYYYYYYYYLE. |

Since I did some research on Tom Delay to write that blurb about him, I feel like every day should be "Fuck You, Tom Delay" day. |

I'm good for that. We need a PFA shirt with "Fuck you, Tom Delay" on the back now. Makes sense to me. It's a song. It's a good statement. It has "foul" language. What is not to like? I would wear it. |
