Smile along with Tom
Why is he smiling? Is it because he is an imbecile?
You decide, with the top ten Delay sound byte gems.

1) "I AM the federal government." Tom DeLay, to the owner of Ruth's
Chris Steak House, after being told to put out his cigar because of federal government regulations banning smoking in the building, May 14, 2003
2) "So many minority youths had volunteered that there was literally
no room for patriotic folks like myself." --Tom DeLay, explaining at the 1988 GOP convention why he and vice presidential nominee Dan Quayle did not fight in the Vietnam War
3) "Now tell me the truth boys, is this kind of fun?" Tom Delay, to
three young hurricane evacuees from New Orleans at the Astrodome in Houston, Sept. 9, 2005
4) "We're no longer a superpower. We're a super-duper power." Tom
DeLay, explaining why America must topple Saddam Hussein in 2002 interview with Fox News
5) "Nothing is more important in the face of a war than cutting
taxes." Tom DeLay, March 12, 2003
6) "Guns have little or nothing to do with juvenile violence. The
causes of youth violence are working parents who put their kids into daycare, the teaching of evolution in the schools, and working mothers who take birth control pills." Tom DeLay, on causes of the Columbine High School massacre, 1999
7) "A woman can take care of the family. It takes a man to provide
structure. To provide stability. Not that a woman can't provide
stability, I'm not saying that... It does take a father, though." -Tom DeLay, in a radio interview, Feb. 10, 2004
8) "I don't believe there is a separation of church and state. I think the Constitution is very clear. The only separation is that there will not be a government church." Tom DeLay
9) "Emotional appeals about working families trying to get by on $4.25 an hour are hard to resist. Fortunately, such families do not exist." Tom DeLay, during a debate in Congress on increasing the minimum wage, April 23, 1996
10) "I am not a federal employee. I am a constitutional officer. My
job is the Constitution of the United States, I am not a government employee. I am in the Constitution." Tom DeLay, in a CNN interview, Dec. 19, 1995

5. Sometimes you don't realize how stupid a person is ...
... until you see their words in black and white:

"Emotional appeals about working families trying to get by on $4.25 an hour are hard to resist. Fortunately, such families do not exist."

8. I have always thought Pretzel boy makes some of the
stupidest comments, but I gotta say the Bug Man is right up there with the dumb-ass comments.

Anyone that runs against him (if he doesn't end up in jail) should plaster these comments on all their posters to remind the folks what a whack-job he is.

Jeez what an ass!!!! :grr:

9. It is a vacant expression.
A stupid smile like that is normal for anyone so deluded enough to have actually said those things the OP posted.
