The Movie: Ronnie Earle, on a Mission from God

The Texas DA is inspired by the Bible to prosecute Tom DeLay.
A new film featuring Travis County, Texas prosecutor Ronnie Earle as he pursued the investigation that led to the indictment of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay portrays Earle less as a partisan figure than as a messianic leader on a mission to rid American politics of the "evil" influence of money.
A copy of the still-unfinished film, entitled The Big Buy, was obtained by National Review Online Friday.
On several occasions in the film, Earle engages in monologues on what he believes is the sinister effect of money in politics. "The root of the evil of the corporate and large-monied interest domination of politics is money," Earle says as he takes the filmmakers on a nighttime drive around Austin. "This is in the Bible. This isn't rocket science. The root of all evil truly is money, especially in politics. People talk about how money is the mother's milk of politics. Well, it's the devil's brew. And what we've got to do, we've got to turn off the tap."

I see that Ronnie Earle has decided that the best way to prosecute his case is file a change of venue, from the Texas Courthouse to the court of public opinion. He must be in pursuit of justice of a different sort than we're used to. Community Restorative Justice.

Ducky, I am indeed disappointed in you. I could hardly wait to hear your take on the religious aspect of this story. Could it be that you only target religion as expressed by Republicans while overlooking such expressions by your dimbulb pseudo intellectual progressive liberal demoracist fellow travelers?
If this comic opera does proceed to trail DeLay will be found innocent of all charges.
Hey Duncy
How many people have been beheaded by Christians. Seen any Christians smacking planes into office towers or shooting school kids in the back.
What type of government uses starvation as a means of government
policy.
Take your anti Christian red wahabi rantings and stick it where the sun doesn't shine.
Who blew up the trade center twice duck. Who rolled a grenade at his fellow soldiers abesia or dementia is not my problem.
Big Bubba rules.
My, my Duck have all the pins fell out of your hinges?
I'm sure that mr. ducky thought that Union laundering of campaign funds to the tune of millions and millions of dollars back in 2000 was JUST as reprehensible, and that the cleanup of unions should have been at the top of the Bush agenda as soon as he became president.
I loved the Pelosi press conference on DeLay. She ranted about Republican corruption and the entire collapse of the Republican Party due to the DeLay indictment for about 15 minutes. I can only hope that ALL of America has been watching.
And then on Meet the Press this am Rham Emmanuel rambled on about how the Democrats are different by NOT answering Russert's question. Even Russert was shaking his head and laughing. And then Emmanuel begins spouting his five "positve" programs for America... one of which was to give EVERY American a college education. Too bad people can see that 30% of the American population can't even handle a High School education. More money to NEA and their political base (over-educated professors) AIN'T a solution... which is ESPECIALLY obvious to all the failures who tried and gave up.
Keep working it mr. ducky! Keep workin' it sammy!

The dimmies are in "only a revolution can save us" mode. And nobodies buying it but themselves. I can't wait till '06 and '08.
When the American public was notified of the soft-money hard-money shuffle in Texas, Americans reacted much like Capt. Renault did in "Casablanca"....
DeLay: How can you close me up? On what grounds?
Ronnie: I'm shocked, shocked to find that campaign financing is going on in here! [a campaign worker hands Ronnie a pile of cash]
DNS Campaign Worker: Your campaign contribuitions from the DNC and Labor Unions are here, sir
Ronnie Earle: [sotto voce] Oh, thank you very much.
[aloud] Ronnie to crowd: Everybody out at once!
LOL!

mr. ducky,
Who invented the Social Security "lock-box" anyway? LOL!
Remember when all the "lottery" money was going to be used to pay for education. LOL!
Oh, I get it now, there's green money, and then there's GREEN money.
