DeLay Indicted, Republicans Demonize Ronnie Earle

(Houston Chronicle) "I have done nothing wrong ... I am innocent," DeLay told a Capitol Hill news conference in which he repeatedly criticized the prosecutor, Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle. DeLay called Earle a "unabashed partisan zealot," and "fanatic," and described the charges as "one of the weakest and most baseless indictments in American history."

Hardly.

Here are ten reasons why this is not one of the weakest and most baseless indictments in American history.

Meanwhile, seems like the Republicans have all received the same talking points memo that they should dismiss the validity of this indictment by bringing up the 1993 indictment of Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson. Tom DeLay is as innocent as sweet victimized Kay. Right, and Mike Brown was an experienced and skilled emergency agency head.

How easily and conveniently they forget about Kenneth Starr's witchhunt of the Clintons.
