Hindrocket's tinfoil hat

I thought that left-wing loonies at the Democratic Underground had laid exclusive claim to wild political conspiracy theories. I was wrong. Check this out from Hindrocket at Powerline.

A year ago, and apparently as recently as two weeks ago, Earle did not choose to take that risk [i.e., to indict Tom DeLay]. So--once again--what changed? My guess, and it's only a guess, is that it has to do with the impending battle over the Supreme Court. It appears that the Democrats have decided, barring the extremely unlikely possibility that President Bush nominates a Democrat, to filibuster the next nominee, whoever he or she may be. Such a move would be unprecedented in American history, and carries considerable political risk.

I believe that the Democrats think they can get away with a filibuster because they have the Republicans on the run--nothing but bad news from Iraq (untrue, but that's the impression you get from the media), the fiasco of Hurricane Katrina (also untrue, as we're learning), Bush's sagging poll numbers, etc. In order to lay the groundwork for their filibuster, the Democrats are doing everything they can to create an anti-Republican frenzy in the press. My guess is that the DeLay indictment is part of that effort.

It would be interesting to subpoena Ronnie Earle's telephone records and see what Democratic Senators or representatives of the Democratic National Committee he has been talking to over the past couple of weeks.

Earle may be a hack, but this theory is ridiculous and Hindrocket hurts his credibility by suggesting it.
