...for being a Republican!
Saith Mr. DeLay in reply:
This morning, in an act of blatant political partisanship, a rogue district attorney in Travis County, Texas named Ronnie Earle charged me with one count of criminal conspiracy, a reckless charge wholly unsupported by the facts.
This is one of the weakest, most baseless indictments in American history.
It is a sham, and Mr. Earle knows it.
It is a charge that can not hold up even under the most glancing scrutiny.
This act is the product of a coordinated, premeditated campaign of political retribution, the all-too-predictable result of a vengeful investigation led by a partisan fanatic.
Mr. Earle is abusing the power of his office to exact personal revenge for the role I played in the Texas Republican legislative campaign in 2002 and my advocacy for a new, fair and constitutional congressional map for our state in 2003. (Thanks to the LA Times for not demanding Mr.DeLay's summary execution.)
