Of course, the all too brief moment of accord…

…is almost immediately ruined in the very next post by a description at Power Line of Texas State Prosecutor Ronnie Earle who gained the indictment for conspiracy against Senator Tom DeLay as “corrupt” while giving no supporting evidence whatsoever for the negative description of Prosecutor.

As a matter of fact, Prosecutor Earle is known for his pursuit of Democrats with equal vigor as Republicans. To wit (from the Los Angeles Times):

Two decades later, Earle is going after another powerful Texas politician, and the defense is no different. When he indicted U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay on Wednesday, the Texas Republican lashed out at Earle, calling him an “unabashed partisan zealot.”

Just one hitch: Earle may be a Democrat, but, he said, so were 12 of the 15 politicians he has indicted over the years, including Mattox. Even Mattox said Wednesday that Earle long had targeted people on both sides of the political aisle, roiling the halls of power in Austin — and now Washington — at every turn.

“He had a very negative impact on my life,” Mattox said. But in DeLay’s case, he added, “I think Earle is carrying out his responsibility.”

However, as soon Prosecutor Earle indicts a sacred cow of the right-wing, he is suddenly partisan and “corrupt” to use the word at Power Line.

Calvinball at its finest.
