Morris: Earle Crazier Than Garrison
What embattled House Majority Leader Rep. Tom DeLay has been accused of doing is "what happens every hour of every day in American politics - it happens all the time," said top political guru and former Clinton advisor Dick Morris. Morris, the chief architect of some questionable Clinton-era campaign practices, called "really gross" some of DeLay's tactics in manipulating the 2002 elections so he could "finagle the [congressional] district lines and guarantee a whole bunch of extra Republican seats." Appearing Wednesday night on Fox News Channel's Hannity and Colmes show, Morris said proving the case against DeLay would require a large paper trail, which he does not believe exists. Morris added "everything that DeLay said about [Texas state prosecutor Ronnie] Earle is absolutely accurate. This guy is not just a loose cannon, he's a loose hand grenade." After a tirade by co-host Alan Colmes - who insisted that Earle is bipartisan and known as "Mr. Clean" - Morris chided Colmes, saying, "I know Texas politics and you don't. "There are good prosecutors and there are crazy ones. This guy makes Garrison - the guy who made that whole deal about the Kennedy assassination - look like a model of respectability," Morris said. Asked by co-host Sean Hannity if Earle is "too political and too personal to prosecute - does he have any credibility?," Morris said: "I don't think he'll have much credibility, I think DeLay will beat the charge. "But did DeLay do what they said he did?" Morris asked, rhetorically. "Probably."
