Indictment

Travis County, Texas district attorney Ronnie Earle today managed to get an indictment against Representative Tom DeLay of Texas, as well as against two of his associates.
Ronnie Earle has been after DeLay for quite a while, to no practical effect before today. He seems to be obsessed, perhaps out of sheer partisan hackery, perhaps because he’s simply a bad prosecutor, perhaps because he’s a complete nut.
This is, after all, a man who indicted himself — thereby proving that if no ham sandwiches are readily available, you can get a grand jury to indict a fruitcake.
I suspect DeLay will weather this storm and come through vindicated.
Update: Captain Ed weighs in.
