New categoryDeLay accuses Earle of taking corporate funds
Rep. Tom DeLay said District Attorney Ronnie Earle, who is prosecuting him for trying to involve corporate money in Texas politics, has taken such contributions himself. "It's real interesting he has this crusade against corporate funds. He took corporate funds, and he's taken union funds, for his own re-election. That's against the law," Mr. DeLay told The Washington Times yesterday. A review of Mr. Earle's campaign-finance filings in Texas shows that he has received contributions from the AFL-CIO, including a $250 donation on Aug. 29, 2000. He also has received contributions listed on the disclosure forms only as coming from the name of an incorporated entity, often a law firm.Maybe Earle should prosecute himself again.
Mr. Earle has said repeatedly that state law bars corporate and union contributions. Attempts to reach Mr. Earle yesterday for comment, including a phone message left on his assistant's voice mail detailing Mr. DeLay's charge, were unsuccessful.The old telephone tag routine, eh?

Some folks seem to have enjoyed this post from yesterday, so I might do more of that sort of thing in the future. Many thanks to Todd Epp for what he had to say about it. (And I'll also take...On Walkabout

Democrats have been saying for weeks now that Justice Sandra Day O'Connor ought to be replaced by Sandra Day O'Connor. Since Bush is opposed to reproductive cloning, they should be happy that he has picked a rather reasonable facsimile. Democrats...
