Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said Friday a documentary film crew's behind-the-scenes access to the Travis County prosecutors who indicted him proves Ronnie Earle is little more than a publicity seeker.


"He's got a film crew that has been following him around for two years to document how he's going to get Tom DeLay," DeLay said on a Houston radio talk show.

Earle led a two-year investigation into state campaign financing that resulted in a Travis County grand jury returning a criminal conspiracy charge against DeLay on Wednesday. Earle said he followed the same rules with the documentary filmmakers that he would with any journalist.

"When somebody said to (President) Harry Truman, 'Give 'em hell, Harry,' he said, 'I just tell 'em the truth and they think it's hell,' " Earle said. "I told them the truth, and they thought it was a movie. Go figure. I'm just doing my job."

2. I think this film is actually about how DeLay manage to
redistrict Texas, which ultimately led to the revelation that he is a typical Repug crook.

4. Did DeLay complain when people filmed his work to impeach Clinton?
I remember that footage....also followed Gingrich and recorded a phonecall Gingrich made to his WIFE saying he had to work late and that he LOVED HER...the wife he later divorced because he wanted to marry his girlfriend that he was seeing at the same time he was attacking Clinton for having a girlfriend.
