DeLay's attorney files for dismissal

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's legal team asked a court Friday to throw out his indictment, arguing that a Texas district attorney "attempted to browbeat and coerce" grand jurors into filing criminal charges.

Prosecutor Ronnie Earle "and his staff engaged in an extraordinarily irregular and desperate attempt to contrive a viable charge and get a substitute indictment of Tom Delay before the expiration of the statute of limitations," DeLay's attorney Dick DeGuerin said in a court filing alleging prosecutorial misconduct.

posturing... blustering... feints... parries... grandstanding... accusations... lamentations... denials... indignation... yadda... yadda... yadda... and where she stops, nobody knows...

the part i REALLY like is "Former House Majority Leader..."
