Ronnie Earle responds, bless 'im

Being vilified as a "rogue district attorney," a "fanatic" and "an unabashed partisan zealot," among other epithets, was not the worst part of his day, said Ronnie Earle, hours after announcing the indictment of Representative Tom DeLay and two associates.

"Mostly, I haven't had any lunch," said Mr. Earle, the Travis County prosecutor, speaking from his office in Austin.

[...]

But Mr. Earle would not let it pass, it turned out. "I find they often accuse others of doing what they themselves do," he said. "And what else are they going to say?"

"This is about protecting the integrity of our electoral system and I couldn't just ignore it," he said.

[...]

But he denied that politics had played any role, as Mr. DeLay and his lawyers claimed.

"I would expect that that would be their response," Mr. Earle said. "This is what they believe of themselves."

ya gotta love him...
