Some thoughts on Ronnie Earle
I was listening to the Diane Rehm show this morning, and the discussion turned to The Bug Man. Someone from Dallas sent an email asking what effect the anti-Earle TV ads that are starting to air would have. One of the panelists said that they could affect a potential jury in the event of a trial. I immediately fired off the following email:
The argument that the anti-Earle TV ads could affect a potential jury is not a good one. The jury pool will consist of residents of Travis County. Travis County was the only county in Texas that went for Kerry in November, and a majority of the voters in Travis County have re-elected Earle time and time again. Earle has not changed his SOP, and the people of Travis County know him well.
Horse Poup has some info on Earle that is relevant to the claims by The Bug Man and other Republicans that Earle is a rogue prosecutor pursuing a political vendetta. Be warned, however, that the owner of that blog is rather liberal. Still, facts are facts.

Clicked on the Horse Poup link and got a message I wasn't allowed to access that site. Either my computer knows it's liberal nonsense and is protecting my conservative sensibilities. Or, there is naughty stuff in it that causes our filters to put up roadblocks.
No naughty stuff, but I've heard it trips some filters. It's wierd how that works. In Iraq, on a government computer, I was able to access Fox News online, but neither NPR nor Air America Radio online. You would think that with the liberal media controlling the world, and a government committed to free speech, it would be the other way around.
OK, got in and I think I left a message. We'll see if it shows up.
