"I'm no fan of Delay but it is great news that Ronnie Earl got smacked down!"
You should be. In this increasingly RINO-saturated congress, Delay is a conservative. FYI, I live in Austin and even the libs here know that Earl fabricated this crap out of nothing.
Cheney is headlining a fund raiser for Tom today...that ought to be worth getting quotes from, LOL
LOLOL!!!! In TX they scream "JUMP ALREADY!!! YOU'RE HOLDING UP TRAFFIC!!!"
Ummm...I don't see anything on this anywhere else, hope it's true.
Why is this man smiling? Because he beat lil' Ronnie Earle and the seven dwarfs he redistricted out of office in Texas. It is definitely HAMMER TIME!
Hope this isnt a joke.
Don't hold your breath!
WOO-HOO! Hope it's true!
AP was hoping for the worse:

UNDATED -- There's a lot riding on a decision expected from a Texas judge by Tuesday in Austin in the case of Texas Congressman Tom Delay.
The decision by Senior Judge Pat Priest of San Antonio could force the Sugar Land Republican to stand trial on conspiracy and money-laundering charges. It could also decide the future of the House Republican leadership and further shake a GOP hit hard by recent scandal.
The latest bad news came a week ago, when eight-term Representative Randy "Duke" Cunningham of California resigned after admitting he took bribes.
Since the September indictment that required him to step down as House majority leader, DeLay has cast himself as the victim of a political vendetta. He has pushed for the case to be resolved before January, when Congress reconvenes, so he can quickly return to his leadership post.

Perhaps the judge is protecting other dems by making this go away instead of Tom forcing them to produce "the evidence."
Haven't seen anything there yet myself. Be sure to wear your Mental Hazmat Suit!
One question is whether the Judge threw them out with prejudice, or simply required The Earle to replead.
Yes, and the dems even sent out mailings decrying Cheney going to the "rescue" for DeLay.
Oops.
Can't touch this!
Yes. The RINO's in the House now have to toe the line again.
"We need DeLay back in the Congress ASAP to ride herd on the rogues."
Hell yeah...Regulators, saddle up!
Good news. Bush won't have to serve jury duty afterall.
