U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton–prosecutor of Border Patrol agents Ramos and Compean–after making the rounds of talk-radio yesterday, stopped by the Houston Chronicle to share his thoughts and feelings with more sympathetic ears.

You know you can trust what you read in the Chronicle because, unlike nutty talk-show hosts, professional print journalists can be counted on to get the basic facts right.

The former Harris County prosecutor said he came to Houston to appear on the Edd Henry talk radio show, where the host has taken to calling him “Johnny Satan.”

Edd Henry? Was this interview transcribed by Scooby-Doo?

We liked this too.

“I’m giving him the benefit of a doubt,” Sutton said. He added: “I try not to take it personally. I went on that show because I grew up on the west side. I know Edd doesn’t have many listeners, but the listeners he does have are on the west side of Houston.”

Niiiice.

Speaking from personal experience, the already slight chance that Edd Hendee is ever going to release his pit-bull jaw-clamp on Johnny Sutton’s arse just disappeared.

When asked by the Chronicle to respond to Sutton’s comments, here’s what Mr. Henry had to say:

Double nice.

Here’s the good news–EricPJohnson is already active in comments over at the Chron’s site, presenting the entire world with the facts on this issue, based on his early reading of the trial transcript.

So for once, this never-ending debate will be held not here, but there.

Go duke it out over at the Chron.

Ahhh. That feels good.
