It's all about the corruption
The Delay indictment shouldn't be viewed as a partisan move. Media Matters (via Atrios) explains:
"During his long tenure, Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle has prosecuted many more Democratic officials than Republicans. The record does not support allegations that Earle is prone to partisan witch hunts." This assertion supports Earle's own claim about his record; a March 6 article in the El Paso Times reported: "Earle says local prosecution is fundamental and points out that 11 of the 15 politicians he has prosecuted over the years were Democrats."
Delay says Earle is "trying to criminalize politics." If what Delay does is just politics, maybe it should be illegal.
