In an interview at his office last week, the 62-year-old district attorney said his current investigation of corporate money in political campaigns might be the most important prosecution of his career. "Democracy is at stake here," Mr. Earle said.

"If we allow corporations to control elections," he said, "we will destroy democracy. It will be the death knell of democracy."

His investigation has stirred powerful political forces in Austin and Washington. A Travis County grand jury has indicted three associates of Mr. DeLay, R-Sugar Land, and is investigating whether illegal corporate money was laundered by political-action committees with ties to top Republicans, including Texas House Speaker Tom Craddick.

Over his 27-year career, Mr. Earle has prosecuted 12 Democratic officeholders and four Republicans. He brought down a state treasurer, a House speaker, a state Supreme Court justice and several legislators – all Democrats.

2. Yep, Earle is fair-minded.

And I respect him for it. No favoritism, just trying to make sure the system is clean.

4. Two points: 1) Since when has the truth or reality had ANY bearing

on Bushevik Slime Responses? Since when have we had a Free Press willing to debunk lies from the Imperial side?

2) Mr. Earle is mistaken. The Death Knell for Democracy (at least in Imperial Amerika) sounded long ago. The United States of America is a nation that exsts now only in history books.

(though naturally the Empire will keep the illusion going as long as they have to, until the last Imperial Subjects raised in Free Amerika have grown decrepit or passed away)
