I wouldn't bet against it.
By the way, if there's a better Good Ol' Boy name than Ronnie Earle, I've never heard it.
Since there are already 3 other DeLay-related threads, I feel no remorse in jacking this one. L, if you're reading this, there's an excellent article on Tulane's limping recovery efforts in today's WSJ. Since it's subscription-only, if you can't read it, drop me a line if you want me to send you a copy.
(No, I don't pay for WSJ Online but one of my friends lets me mooch his subscription with the hope of converting me.)

Becks, if you did that yourself, it's really funny.
(If the Management did it, it's still pretty funny.)
If only I could lay claim to that. Alas, it is just Ogged pulling my pigtails.
I'm easily entertained -- I'll settle.

but, once you're converted, won't you want to be a good capitalist and not tell him, so you can continue getting your subscription for free, anyway?
i've been mooching the wsj for longer than i'd care to admit...
(previous comment written before the crossing out and then left unposted- my sticking it to the man was unintentional, but i think proves my point)
Becks, I'd love to read it.
And to stay on topic, let me say that I too hope that Mr. Earle has the goods.
That's weak, BG, but adheres to the letter of the law.
Never mind, I just saw that the offer was addressed to L.. Although I would still love to read it, don't want to mooch excessively.
Haven't any of you people ever heard of e-mail?
BG - I'll send it. If someone else wants it, feel free to send me an email, although I'm going out soon and probably won't respond until tomorrow AM. If the WSJ credentials were mine, I'd post them. My blog's under lockdown because my co-blogger is afraid of getting Dooced or I'd just post it there.
I want to have a million of Ronnie Earle's babies.
If your blog is currently password-protected because your co-blogger is afraid of getting fired, is it really a blog?
Indictments are hott.
Probably not.
I must have an indictment around here somewhere.
Get a room! Or a house!
I think it's... IN YOUR PANTS!
I didn't e-mail, because the automatic e-mail would have gone through my non-pseudonymous e-mail, and I was lazy.
Do indictments have titties?
I got nothin'.
Le Drum has the same worry--and ignores our host! Meanwhile, can one of ya lawyers explain what is going in the part where they actually indict DeLay? Are they saying DeLay's lawyers told him not to demand that the indictment say what he's supposed to have done?
What I want to know is, when does he do the perp walk?
It's not as if my post added much to the discussion.
not to demand that the indictment say what he's supposed to have done?
What's the language that you're reading that way?
I want to have a million of Ronnie Earle's babies.
I've tried so hard to come up with a funny termite queen joke.
All the stuff about waiving the provisions of blahdy blahdy blahdy, which I thought might have something to do with presenting an indictment that says what's been done.
OK, that looks like it's Articles 12.01 and 12.03, which seem to be the statute of limitations. What's up with that?
And it seems like the money part is the language about conspiracy at the beginning between one or more of them and TRMPAC, followed by all the overt acts which were in fact done by the other two fellas (and this Terry Nelson--not indicted--did he roll over?)
No thanks to y'all, Laura Rozen has an explanation for the statute of limitations thing--if he hadn't waived them DeLay would've been indicted earlier.
You've got linking issues, you know that, right?
By the way, if there's a better Good Ol' Boy name than Ronnie Earle, I've never heard it.
Earle is always perfect, Ronnie is good, but to be really the best he'd need another name in there. Ray, maybe. Ronnie Ray Earle? hmm, too many Rs.
Why are you linking to Times Select, MW?
How did that get in there? Pause....
Laura Rozen. And in fact there's an answer to BG's question--I hit the link just above the permalink. Pudgy fingers on a laptop.
It doesn't matter whether Earle has the goods. Delay's career is finished.
But Joe O, if Earle has the goods, it means a big trial, on TV, with testimonies from people with names like "Norquist" and "Rove" and "Abramoff". Preferably a long, drawn-out trial. Preferably in the summer of '06.
