Tom Delay and 40 others write letter to court saying Hastert gets 'integrity and values' from God

DeLay wrote that Hastert, whom he helped position as speaker, never disappointed him "in any way." He pointed to their shared faith, writing that Hastert started a Bible study between the two of them and a pastor.

"We all have our flaws, but Dennis Hastert has very few. He is a good man that loves the lord," DeLay wrote. "He gets his integrity and values from Him. He doesn't deserve what he is going through."

If I got a letter from that sumbitch, not only would I double Hastert's sentence, but I'd throw that piece o shit in there with him.

Come to think of it, why isn't his ass in jail right now?

I say the same thing about radical Islamist's. I'm pretty sure that the "God" they're worshiping is actually Satan.
