Well I'll be damned

Tom Delay Indicted.
DeLay has said he believes the investigation by [Travis County District Attorney Ronnie] Earle, a Democrat, was politically motivated.
Because we know how the republicans hate that kind of partisan politics.

ETA: And, as Media Matters for America notes (via Kos):
a June 17 editorial in the Houston Chronicle commended [Earle's] work: "During his long tenure, Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle has prosecuted many more Democratic officials than Republicans. The record does not support allegations that Earle is prone to partisan witch hunts." This assertion supports Earle's own claim about his record; a March 6 article in the El Paso Times reported: "Earle says local prosecution is fundamental and points out that 11 of the 15 politicians he has prosecuted over the years were Democrats."
