Quote of the day

Well, of a couple days ago, actually, but I'm in catch-up mode around here.

Anyway, the distinction goes to Travis County, Texas, District Attorney Ronnie Earle, who has issued some nearly 50 subpoenas in the process of investigating Tom Delay's Texans for a Republican Majority PAC, which is suspected of illegally funneling corporate cash to state races, part of Delay's scheme to capture the Texas legislature in order to railroad the redistricting scheme that brought state goverment to a halt on repeated occasions last year.

When Delay lashed out against Earle's attempt to fulfill his duty to the Texas electorate, the DA replied "Being called partisan and vindictive by Tom DeLay is like being called ugly by a frog."

Of course, Earle now faces a possible new source of criticism, since animal rights activists may find his comments defamatory to frogs...
