TX land commissioner funded by PERRY! LOLOL

[grasswire]

Just saw it on CNN. This dude's political campaigns were funded by Sam Perry. This is too good.

[geek tragedy]

1. Where's my goddamn television?!?!?

Dumb, dumb, dumb.

[DemWitch]

2. tight little group of people...

or is the right word cabal?

[Cocoa]

10. that's why they all look inbred

[Connie_Corleone]

3. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

N/T

[ApolloCreedLives]

4. He's also saying that the Swifties have a right to advertise

And he's a spokesperson for the Bush campaign! Does that mean that Bush is flip flopping over the 527 ads?

[Zynx]

7. Maybe I should send Bush a nice pair of flip-flops.

[MallRat]

9. A MONUMENTAL FLIP-FLOP.

[Zynx]

5. HAR! This is just too good.

[Dover]

6. Oh, the GOP cesspool runneth over in Texas

and they're ALL related. (cue soundtrack: dueling banjos)

[Sparkly]

8. He's making it too easy!!

hahahaha

[LastKnight]

11. last time bush sends an untrained cronie to speak for him huh?

not slippery enough to talk to the press, yet. i guess.

12. patterson just met with the president???

huh?

[Sparkly]

13. He said Bush/Cheney04 drafted the letter he was given

to give to Cleland!!

[MallRat]

14. Hence, Patterson IS acting in an official capacity for BC04.

And therefore, the campaign is apparently changing their position on 527s.

This is a MASSIVE FLIP-FLOP. We have to call them on this.

[LastKnight]

17. he was called this morning by somone from the B/C 04 camp...

and they drafted and signed the letter, and sent the little messanger boy to deliver it. instead of the shrimpchimp coming out to face Senator Cleland himself.

-LK

[grasswire]

18. yep

He didn't say they "signed the letter." He said they "agreed to have their names on the letter."

I am SO SORRY that CNN cut away from this guy. Damn! I'll bet he dug the hole even deeper.

[seabeyond]

15. hard to find a vet in repug party

:)

[Inland]

16. OMG, as they deny connections--there he is speaking for Bush on the ranch

Bush might as well have O'Neill there.

[ApolloCreedLives]

19. To recap...

-BUSH/CHENEY drafted the letter that Patterson (and some other veterans) signed.
-The letter, and the statement by Patterson, defends the Swift Boat Liars right to speak against
-Meaning...the Bush campaign is defending the Swifties advertising, EVEN THOUGH BUSH SAID THAT HE WANTS ALL 527s TO STOP.

That's a flip-flop of monumental proportions. So now the Bush/Cheney campaign is defending these ads even though they supposedly want to end all 527 ads.

[grasswire]

20. this was the highlight of my day

and the reporter who asked him if he knows Perry deserves a bouquet.

[DoYouEverWonder]

24. Are they really this stupid?

They are literally coming apart at the seams. I feel like I'm in the front row of a Gallagher Concert and he's just about to hit the big watermellon. Duck.

21. kick

[never cry wolf]

22. Hmmm, interesting. A developer funding the Land Commissioner.

What a coincidence, a land developer funding the land commissioner's campaign. Gee, I wonder how many of said developer's, or his competition's development projects have required a ruling by said land commissioner, or how much inside info may be discussed over cocktails.

How conveeeenient!

O, for the intrepid investigative reporter, here is a juicy tidbit!

25. Real estate is real estate

I know this is not the point of the original post, I looked up the texas land commissioner office and what it oversees. Basically they oversee all land owned by the state, including leasing of oil, gas, mineral, timber and grazing rights. They also SELL state land.

Land Sales

The Asset Management Division sells and leases many different types of properties periodically throughout the year. Please follow the link that describes your interest.

Seems like they make most of their cash by determining the oil and gas leases, but ANY state land commission is in the business of buying and selling, mostly to developers.
