Apparently you are not a Lyle Lovett fan. A pity.

I read that today. Thought it was really funny. There's all sorts of info out now about how Earle was hostile towards grand jurors who didn't want to indict, how the foreman of one of the grand juries that did vote to indict had his mind made up prior to hearing one shred of evidence....it's comical.

I mean, politics is a nasty game, and I understand that. I would just figure if you're going to get dirty you should have something a little better than what Earle has.

And that foreman had his mind made up because he didn't like some political ad which he said "told people who to vote for"

Um, doh! That's what political ads do!

I'll reserve an opinion until a real news organization picks up the story. ;)

Leave it to the Washington Times for faulty reporting.

Turns out that the statute does not apply to law firms. Tom Delay is more than likely aware of the lie he is telling considering that law firms donated $128,500 to him. It also isn't illegal to take union funds as long as you use them for overhead.

Delay is lying and the Washington Times eats it up. Not quite as funny now, is it? :)

OK - I'll give you that one, MBC. It doesn't change that the whole indictment is a joke.

How do you know what evidence Earle has?

I don't. However, one grand jury wouldn't indict, one had a foreman who said he had his mind made up prior to any procedings, and another indicts four hours after convening for the first time....some fishy things going on here.

But. along those lines....nothing like trying to intimidate that grand jury when they don't rule the way you want....

"Two people familiar with the proceedings of the grand jury that "no- billed" DeLay said that Earle tried to persuade the grand jurors that DeLay tacitly approved the scheme and that the prosecutor became angry when they decided against an indictment. The people familiar with the proceeding insisted on anonymity because of grand jury secrecy. "
