DeLay Investigator Raising Money for Democrats

Travis County (TX) District Attorney Ronnie Earle, who is investigating a political group founded by Tom DeLay, is helping to prove that he is simply a partisan witch hunter. According to the Houston Chronicle, Earle recently helped raise money at a Democratic fundraiser:

A newly formed Democratic political action committee, Texas Values in Action Coalition, hosted the May 12 event in Dallas to raise campaign money to take control of the state Legislature from the GOP, organizers said. Earle, an elected Democrat, helped generate $102,000 for the organization.

In his remarks, Earle likened DeLay to a bully and spoke about political corruption and the investigation involving DeLay, the House majority leader from Sugar Land, according to a transcript supplied by Earle.
