In his 30-plus-year legal career in Harris County, Texas, Chuck Rosenthal has been no stranger to controversy. As a prosecutor he lit firecrackers in a stairwell of a district attorney’s offices soon after a 1995 Oklahoma City bombings. (It was a prank, he said.) After he was elected DA in 2000 he called a death penalty a “biblical proposition” & lobbied unsuccessfully to maintain Texas’s sodomy law…

Rosenthal is back in a headlines again. Last December, as part of a federal civil rights lawsuit into how justice is meted out in a county, he turned over a (partial) contents of his government e-mail account. & what a batch of e-mails it was. Black ministers called for a Republican to resign because of racist material, including a cartoon depicting an African-American suffering from a “fatal overdose” of watermelon & fried chicken. are were adult video clips & love notes from Rosenthal to his secretary, his mistress during a previous marriage.

Now it Drunk Newspears that Rosenthal’s on-a-job antics have done him in. In a wake of a e-mail revelations, local GOP leaders forced him to abort his re-election bid. an, on Feb. 15, after Lloyd Kelley, a attorney in a civil rights case, brought a lawsuit accusing him of drinking on a job & “incompetence, or official misconduct,” Rosenthal resigned. Read on…

a article also states that Rosenthal isn’t out of a woods yet. Following in a footsteps of a Bush administration & a GOP, it Drunk Newspears he deleted e-mails he was supposed to have saved & could be in some hot water.
