My brain is eesploding: DeLay Defense Fund finds support from Stephen Colbert!

Kieran Healy at Crooked Timber links to Tom DeLay's defense fund website featuring a videoclip of Stephen Colbert's interview with muckraking documentary filmmaker Robert Greenwald whose latest film The Big Buy documents DeLay's illegal activities in Texas.

They are using a parody of a conservative talk show host Stephen Colbert, whose controversial performance at the White House Correspondant's dinner drew ire from Democrats in order to defend DeLay. It's dangerous not to know how to identify irony and here is a case in point for taking a literature class or two on your way to a life of political corruption. You might be able to recognize satire when you see it!
