Holy Hammer! DeLay Seeks Guidance Through Fasting
By Arianna Huffington

It takes a special kind of man to present himself as holier than thou even as he slips deeper into the slime. So there was Tom DeLay, making a special post-resignation announcement appearance on CBN with Pat Robertson, letting us know that he'd come to the decision to resign after seeking spiritual guidance through fasting.

Praise the Lord -- even at the most shameful moment of a shame-filled career the sinner from Sugar Land had to parade his moral superiority. Leave old-school Christian contrition for lesser souls, right Tom?

Somehow I'm not convinced the decision to quit required the input of the Almighty and an empty belly. The recent guilty plea by former DeLay deputy chief of staff Tony Rudy was probably enough of a sign. But leave it to DeLay to try to turn his ignominy into a pious act, while conveniently buttressing the GOP's god-fearing base. Holy Hammer -- it's a resignation two-fer!

Watching DeLay's unrepentant performance, I couldn't help but notice how bloated he looked. I wonder just how long his guidance-seeking fast was. He didn't look like a man who had gone without for very long. Indeed, he looked like a man who had just polished off a Grand Slam Breakfast at Denny's.
