I just saw Tom DeLay on Hardball.

Couple of thoughts:

1)  He’s not in jail?  I thought he was in jail.

2)  Tom said the standard Republican nonsense about how if Obama’s not a Marxist then he [DeLay] doesn’t know what Marxism is.  I’m pretty sure the second half of that statement is true.

I mean, seriously, can you picture DeLay struggling late at night over Das Kapital?

Does this look like a man who’s read Karl Marx?

You can say a lot of mean things about Tom DeLay, and probably should, but I don’t think you can accuse the man of ever having any deep thoughts.  I’m just saying he’s not firing on all six cylinders.

3)  When did being associated with someone mean that you believe all the same things as they do?  Did I miss a meeting?
