TOM DELAY CLAIMS HE’S AN ALCOHOLIC AND WAS MOLESTED BY A PREACHER

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay admitted that his moral lapses and abuse of power were a result of being inappropriately touched by a Baptist preacher as a young churchgoer. “When he was talking about the hand of God, I thought it was part of the sermon,” DeLay said, “but the way he said, 'ah…men', I knew something wasn’t right. So I turned to Jack Daniels for salvation and drank two liters a day—until I stepped down from the House. Now that I’ve repented, I’m down to one.”
