That title line is actually a tagline of a commercial being run on Austin TV stations right now, targeting Ronnie Earle, the prosecutor who has won indictments - twice - against Tom DeLay.

The commercials are ostensibly paid for by the Free Enterprise Foundation, but we all know who's pulling the strings.
