DeLay said Earle had been pressured by national Democrats to indict the majority leader in order to oust him from power and make him a focus during next fall's campaign.

Grand jury foreman defends DeLay indictment

Ole Ronnie would have been a fool to rush this indictment on too little evidence. I suspect he has quite a bit of evidence and Mr. Delay is very nervous. How else to explain how quickly Delay gave up his majority leader position in the House.

Wouldn't it be nice if this were the bug exterminator's last hurrah?
