Ronnie Earle to Retire
Wonder what Tom DeLay will get him for his retirement gift? He still has a year left to wreak havoc.Earle’s term has one year remaining, and his resignation will bring to an end to his three-decade reign in which he battled some of the biggest names in Texas politics.
Earle has been criticized by DeLay and other Republicans, who say some of his prosecutions of elected leaders are politically motivated.
"This is a no-brainer for him. He never had any intention of finishing off his revenge on Tom DeLay and is scared to death of being Nifong-ed while still in office,” DeLay spokeswoman Shannon Flaherty said in a statement, comparing Earle to the disgraced district attorney in the Duke lacrosse team rape case. "Good riddance to another corrupt DA."
But Earle points out that he prosecutes Democrats as well as Republicans.
DeLay and the Republican fundraisers who were indicted with him are still awaiting trial in Austin.
I'd wager there will be no trial.
