Going after Ronnie

Think Progress reports DeLay wants the lege to go after Ronnie Earle:

On an interview this morning on Fox News Radio’s Tony Snow Show, Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX) revealed a plan to have the Texas legislature oust district attorney Ronnie Earle, the prosecutor who charged DeLay with money laundering:
Transcript:
SNOW: Okay, so at this point, you know — are you willing to let bygones be bygones?
DELAY: Absolutely not. Texas should not allow a district attorney from Travis County have this kind of power. And they can take his power away from him because there was the Texas legislature that gave him this power. And I think that will happen in the next session of the Texas legislature.
SNOW: Oh, really?
DELAY: Yes.

I say, "bring it on!"

If they do it, we can run ads against R legislators who voted for it. "Your rep voted to eliminate the Public Integrity Unit, which prosecutes corrupt elected officials who violate state ethics laws. Why? Because Tom DeLay told him to stop the Public Integrity Unit from going after cronies like Jack Abramoff -- many of whom already admitted to massive public corruption."

I think the consultants should design some mock mail pieces and TV spots just to circulate around. Let these fuckers know we're coming after 'em.
