no link huh? try this one.... spectator.org EARLE'S LAST FORAY INTO politicized prosecution in 1993 turned into a huge embarrassment when he went after Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX), who was then Texas Treasurer. Earle made a series of trumped-up charges, including that the demure Hutchison had physically assaulted an employee. Earle dropped the case during the trial.

"Is this the same dem prosecutor in Texas that has a history of going after GOP opponents?" More Dems than GOP. I know, facts are a bitch, but there it is... Hilarious, isn't it? According to the GOP, its a partisan witch hunt but then it turns out the partisan has gone after his own more than the opposition. How the hell do you explain that one? Of course, if you are GOP, you don't.....you simply ignore it or come up with some other supposedly damning evidence to divert attention. ted

"On 'Media Matters' website, November 18, 2004, editors said that justification for altering party rules to allow DeLay to retain his leadership if indicted by a Texas grand jury is that the prosecutor is doing so for purely partisan reasons. 'This charge was dutifully echoed on FOX News Channel, and most other outlets have reported it - without noting that [Ronnie] Earle, [prosecutor] has, in fact, prosecuted more Democrat politicians than Republican politicians.' This at 11 Democrats out of 15. 'The record does not support allegations that Earle is prone to partisan with hunts.' scoop.co.nz
