Crazy Rick Perry is just stirring the pot

[ashling]

he's going to have to run against Kay Bailey and his only chance is to portray her as a Washington insider. He's just plain looney.

1. Will the sane people from Texas please come out?

This is embarrassing.

[WolverineDG]

2. If every DUer who spent the past week bashing Texas would send $5 or come down & help

we'd have a much better chance of taking Texas back & turning it blue.

6. Amen!

What a difference that would make!

3. Better move before the state secedes.

[MajorChode]

4. Better to go underground and fight a guerilla war

[originalpckelly]

7. Why does everyone fight wars with gorilla's?

I mean, after all, I don't see how you can throw one of them:


Maybe with a catapult?

5. Crazy Rick Perry doesn't realize he's on the menu.

[MajorChode]

8. I think he does, that's why he's going after the wingnuttiest of constituents

Nobody with more than 2 synapses actively firing most of the time is going to vote for Kay Bailey anyway, so the only real battle is for those on the far left side of the bell curve.

9. Maybe I just missed this factoid...did we know that Perry's son is Cheney's son in law???

He's married to Elizabeth Cheney

It is important, too, to understand that the host, Governor Rick Perry, is the governor neatly trained to take Bush's spot in the Texas Governor's mansion. Before that, Perry defeated Jim Hightower for Texas Agricultural Commissioner with the help of Karl Rove and his scurilous tactics.

Perry is also the father of Dick Cheney's son-in-law, the lawyer Phillip Perry, who has bounced back and forth for the last several years between lobbying for Lockheed Martin and working for the White House. His wife, Elizabeth Cheney, though a mother of five herself, is a hawk for attacking Iran and has worked in the Bush Cheney State Department.

Like father, like son−in−law. It turns out BushCo nepotism and arrogance
transcends blood and follows the family trees even through marriage.
The Bushes have long been America's most notorious crime family, but the
Cheneys are certainly holding their own. Among other wrongdoings, the Vice President is currently being implicated in the Libby trial for leaking the identity of a CIA operative to punish her husband for exposing the Administration's lies about pre−war Iraq intelligence. Elizabeth, his eldest daughter, was appointed to a high−ranking State Department position created just for her in 2002, which she left the next year to work on her father's re−election campaign. Following that election she was soon appointed to an even loftier role within the State Department.
But it is Elizabeth's husband, Phillip Perry, who is making news these days. Until his resignation last month to join a law firm, Perry was the general counsel for the Homeland Security Department.

However, we learned from a congressional hearing yesterday that Perry did everything he could to frustrate and hinder government investigation into Homeland Security: " has been one of our persistent access challenges," Government Accountability Office Comptroller General David Walker told the House Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee. . . Walker said it is his understanding that people from Perry's office have to review documents GAO seeks before they are released and selectively sit in on interviews with
department employees.
