Nuttier and Nuttier: Tom DeLay Defends Texas Secession

As Rick Perry continues to make a fool of himself,  the always-reliable Tom DeLay jumps on the bandwagon, finding yet another way to get himself on a cable-TV program (h/t BOR). Of course, DeLay has nothing to lose and everything to gain by keeping himself front-and-center, but Perry’s people might want to look at this poll.  This time he is supported by even fewer people than the miserable 39% plurality he received in the 2006 election.

As Chris Matthews pointed out, the last time there was secession talk in Texas, it resulted in the deaths of 600,000 Americans. Perry might also want to consider what happened to the last secessionist governor of Texas.
