Why oh why has the mainstream media remained silent on the ridiculous accusations thrown out by DeLay against the Ronnie Earle, the prosecutor in Texas who is looking for an indictment?
Bravo to the Gray Lady for publishing Earle's Op-Ed today.
The main point is that regardless of how partisan he may be, it is a grand jury of citizen peers who will decide whether or not to indict him, NOT Ronnie Earle. And they will indict him if he committed a crime, and there is enough evidence to convince them that he should at the very least answer some questions.
And as a side note, of the 15 people Ronnie Earle has prosecuted, 12 were Democrats. Quite simply, Texas was a Democratic state until recently, and as Earle put it, "most crimes by elected officials involve the abuse of power; you have to have power before you can abuse it. "
