Tom DeLay has turned to Stephen Colbert for support, apparently unaware that the “Colbert” on TV is a parody of right-wing blowhards like O’Reilly. DefendDelay.com, his legal defense fund’s web site, is featuring a video of Colbert’s hilarious interview with Robert Greenwald, director of the anti-Delay film The Big Buy: Tom DeLay’s Stolen Congress. Colbert does his usual idiot-conservative schtick while Greenwald explains, fairly clearly, what DeLay’s done. According to the fund’s mass email, though, Greenwald crashed and burned under Colbert’s questions.

Are these people really that stupid?
