Byron has some remarkable news that just went up. He reports that Ronnie Earle, the prosecutor in the Tom DeLay case, has allowed a film crew to follow him throughout the case. The filmmakers say that Earle gave them “extraordinary access” and the resulting picture, entitled The Big Buy, is described this way:
Raymond Chandler meets Willie Nelson on the corner of Wall Street and Pennsylvania Avenue in The Big Buy, a Texas noir political detective story that chronicles what some are calling a ³bloodless coup with corporate cash.² It follows maverick Austin DA Ronnie Earle¹s investigation into what really happened when corporate money joined forces with relentless political ambitions to help swing the pivotal 2002 Texas elections, cementing Republican control from Austin to Washington D.C.
