Tom Delay is Jewish!

OK, not really, but he does compare himself to the 6 million Jews who died in the Holocaust.

From here. Click on the audio link if you still think someone is making this up.

It’s the same process. It’s the same criminalization of politics. it’s the same oppression of people. It’s the same destroy people in order to gain power. It may be six million Jews. it may be indicting somebody on laws that don’t exist. But, it’s the same philosophy and it’s the same world view.
a: It's an almost criminally insensitive comparison.
b: The underlying statement, once you get past the insensitive part, is factually wrong. The laws he broke were on the books and he got caught red handed.
c: Hearing a man nicknamed "The Hammer" crying about oppression is profoundly ironic. You didn't see Saddam bitching like that when they hung him. (How's that for insensitive).
