Travis County, Texas District Attorney Ronnie Earle (No photo credit available)
AUSTIN, Texas Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle is likened to a vicious attack dog in TV spots airing this week in response to his investigation of Congressman Tom DeLay.
The Washington-based Free Enterprise Fund began airing the spots in heavy rotation today on Austin television stations and on the Fox News Network. The ads target Earle's three-year probe into the alleged use of restricted corporate money to influence the 2002 Texas legislative races.
Earle is an Austin Democrat who led a grand jury probe of DeLay. The Sugar Land Republican was indicted on counts of money laundering and conspiracy to launder money. That forced him to step aside as U-S House majority leader -- at least temporarily.
A spokesman for the Free Enterprise Fund said the group is trying to change people's focus on the case from DeLay to Earle.
Earle's office wouldn't comment on the advertisements.
