It was a stupid thing to say. The fact that he used Delay's name made it political, and he was wrong to use Delay's name. I understand why he did it, I believe. Delay's name at a Democratic meeting is red meat. I'm sure he'd have gotten much less traction out of bragging about taking down D Rep Betty Denton, or D Rep Lane Denton, or D House Speaker Gib Lewis, or D Attorney General Jim Maddox, or D State Treasurer Warren Harding, or D Supreme Court Justice Don Yarbrough.

The fact that he's prosecuted 3 times as many people from his own party as he has from the opposition says otherwise.

Of course it could just be that the democrats are 3 times as corrupt as the republicans

OK, run with that if it works for you. I see a man whose level of partisanship has led him to possibly criminal acts, so much so as to have been indicted by a 25 member grand jury of ordinary citizens.

You say Potato, etc.

OMG We disagree! Has this every happened before?
