Told you.

We came up with the idea of a “watering hole” something where we would try to focus the POWER OF OUR BLOGGING on a single topic.

Ronnie Earle, the Travis County DA who indicted TomDeLay, is now in the spotlight himself.
Unsurprisingly … (well, none of the clains that follow are surprising) Tom DeLay calls him “an unabashed partisan zealot engaging in personal …

DeLay, personality aside(although 90% of his personality is needed for the majority leader spot) was the glue behind all the pork agreements. If a deal was made, he was the broker, the unwritten record, and the arbiter. No pork could be cut, as it was all promised.

Now the guy who was overseeing the pork(as was his job) is out of his post at the time the conservatives are grumbling about losing our fiscally conservative way.

The logjam over pork will be disappearring soon, thanks, ironically because of a die hard dem.

Then there is the matter of this indictment. DeLay needs to go guns a blazing after Earle. Request that Earle recuse himself-based upon his lifetime record, and very recent staements that suggest bias. If as Earl ’states’ this is a simple case, someone else should prosecute it. It will force the media to examine Earle, especially if it is a filed brief, and has a great chance of being granted.

It isn’t passing the sniff test, as I have yet to hear even a dem pundit state that he is guilty or even will be found guilty. I strongly suspect that this is going to follow the Bill Burkett forged memo story. The case, like the memo was initally shocking, but upon further review were found to be bogus. I have never seen Ronnie Earle on TV, but I have a feelign we’ll see a lot more of him. He’ll have to make a case why he didn’t prosecute a dem in similar circumstances. Given time and examination, these similar cases will be found. The timeline will be a little longer than CBS, but it took time for people to fnd out who Burkett and Mapes were.

Given the hx of Earle with Hutchison, I think we will be seeing a lot more of her as well. DeLay has already been scrutinized to infinity, and now it will be Earles turn. Much like the Wellstone memorial and the CBS fraud, the dems don’t eally havr a history of orchestating events without it blowing up in their faces.

DeLay will be reelected in his district, by a larger margin than his previous ’squeaker’. The majority spot? He will politely refuse, but take up Ways and Means chair, as a payoff.
