Was Swank once a translator for obscure Japanese video games?

He notes that “Earle of Injustice” is a Rove-ism, with bumper stickers and all, and that Earle once even prosecuted his own campaign for late filing.

Partisan, you betcha.

Earle?s pages number 4. Read them for yourself to discover that they actually don?t charge DeLay with anything. Yet Earle was able to convince a grand jury that they did charge DeLay with something.

?????????

Aren’t there laws regulating indictments that say you HAVE to charge someone with something? Even if the grand jury didn’t notice, I suspect the court would.

I think pastor swank reads kind of like mojo jojo on the powerpuff girls, saying everything rephrased three or four times. “Earle’s practices, which are underhanded, because they are under his hands, his hands being over the practices, and therefore the hands are directly above the practices, which are therefore underhanded. cur-ses.” and mojo has dark power spikes, too.

Earle, then Travis Country District Attorney, was written up according to the following: “He has the unique duty of heading up the state?s Public Integrity Unit. His witch hunt against Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison is representative of his misuse of this duty.”

Is a witch hunt unjust if you’re hunting a real nasty witch?

“. . .sought to inflate baseless accusations with vague evidence.” Now transfer that from Kay Bailey Hutchison to Tom DeLay after reading the papers presented by Earle in his “indictment” of DeLay.
I’d like to transfer it via oxygen filled syringe.
Earle?s pages number 4. Read them for yourself to discover that they actually don?t charge DeLay with anything. Yet Earle was able to convince a grand jury that they did charge DeLay with something.
Yeah! EARLES PAGES NUMBER 4!
It?s vicious out there. It?s dangerous to sit in high places.
Especially when you’re drunk and writing an article, and the high place is your relatively low standing among internet crazies.

And is that why Republicans in Congress are keeping mum? Is that the definition of their cowardice? Could be? How alone does one have to feel as unto a DeLay before a comrade comes to one?s aid?
Will Diana carry billy’s baby to term? Will John find out who ratted him out to the CIA? Will Swank make any sense before the end of the article? … Sadly, No.

I checked the IP address- it’s from San Diego. So it’s probably not the real Swank :-(

Even so, whoever it is, it’s a cracking good impersonation.

Honest to God, do DeLay’s defenders have *any idea* how hard it is to break campaign finance laws in *Texas*?
It’s not like they’re loaded down with regulations there. DeLay should be proud of his ingenuity.

Pastor Swank. I’ve got a secret for you. Mattox and Lewis are both Democrats.

Duh, he’s an equal opportunity partisan hack. His evenhanded persecution of criminality by members of both parties is exactly why he’s the “Earle of Injustice.”

I like apostrophes.

Gotta be snotty and elitest here, despite it having nothing to do with the main article. it’s e.e. cummings, not E.E. Cummings. That has been your liberal elite hollywood etc. moment of the day. Thank you.

I wonder if it’s hard to walk in “dark power spikes.”

Come to think of it, just what the “hell” are “dark power spikes?”

I wonder if that’s the real “Pastor” Swank or just a semi-literate wannabe.

Of course the Delay-defenders ignore that fact that Earle had to convince a Grand Jury that he had a reasonable case in order to bring an indictment. Earle couldn’t do it on his own, he had to have actual EVIDENCE first…..

Go ahead and laugh for my writing and amusement. Your recklessness has the underhandedness
you’ve shown this to be. DeLay will be seen to be innocent when facts are presented which
can be shown. For long this man of injustice has plied his dastardly trade toward all who would
seek to stop him, not just those of his ilk.

But the story is turning now. We can all see who is innocent and who innocense is not. When this is
over who will these refer to?

We don’t have long to wait now.
