and he is not the longest serving governor for no reason.

As a Texan I am not only embarrassed by Rick Perry but I apologize to the rest of the nation for his actions. It's one thing to screw up a single state but for some reason he feels obligated to spread his particular brand of ignorance around the country.

Thank Goodness he is leaving soon but in all likelihood with be replaced by someone very similar.

As Rick would say, "Pray for us!"

Peace
