Well, Bye, Ronnie?

I was in Austin in 1993 when the POS indicted Kay Bailey Hutchison on the phony charges.

Forced to retract it all. Disgusting trash is all he was.

And I don’t care if he croaked. He did it again to DeLay with the same disregard for the law.

Nothing but a cheap thug.

If you sit by a river long enough the body of your enemy will wash by.

The seriousness of the charges only going one way has lost a voice.

He was the Nifong of Texas.

He indicted Tom Delay on an ex post facto law just to use the Republicans' rules against them, the rule that forced a leader to step down if there were ethics charges against them.

Earle did this because Delay had the nickname "The Hammer" because of how he was beating the Democrats in the House as the Majority Leader during Newt Gingrich's "Contract with America" tenure.

And even Wikipedia has this to say about the trash:

Investigation and indictment of Kay Bailey Hutchison

Earle filed charges against Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, then Texas State Treasurer, for allegedly misusing state telephones and allegedly assaulting a staffer. Earle attempted to drop the charges on the first day in court — in fact, at the pre-trial hearing — after the judge in the case questioned the admissibility of his evidence. The judge refused to allow it, instructing the jury to return a "not guilty" verdict so the charge could not be brought against her again.

Maybe Earle shouldn’t have spent so much time in the woods with other high profile perverts spanking chickens, doing tribal drumming, and what not.
