About TEXAS GOVERNOR AND US PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFUL RICK PERRY GETTING INDICTED by a grand jury on not one but TWO felony counts.

One count is worth 10 years and the other is worth up to 99 years.

Yes it is all political BS and he probably will not be convicted but even still Austin is a happy happy joy joy place for Libs and Dems this weekend.

The indictment actually came as a surprise. It stems from Perry trying to force the resignation and failing that to defund the Travis County District Attorney's Office. Which of course is held by a female Democrat and is a thorn in the side of many State Republicans.

Now TCDA Rosemary Lehmberg is not some lily white pol either. She was arrested last year on DWI charges (video). She failed the field test and refused a breathalyzer and was subsequently booked. the thing is she runs the Public Integrity Office so her job includes investigating Ethics Violations of State Officials in Austin. So yeah. It's definitely in the You MIGHT be a Redneck If . . . category.

Now this ain't no thing compared to the shit that goes on up on the East Coast but it is quite the drama and will be interesting to see how it plays out.

One thing is that Perry probably has a snowball chance in hell of getting his party nom in '16. If he even had a chance after that damn Oops! I can't think of the third one incident.

Right now we are in a race between an abortionist and a corporate tool for Governor in Nov.

The last time a Governor was indicted down here was in 1917. James 'Pa' Ferguson, a Democrat was indicted and later impeached for using his power to get some faculty members he disagreed with out of the University of Texas. He entered his wife, 'Ma' Ferguson as a Gubernatorial candidate. She won and became the first woman governor of Texas and the second female governor in the United States.

Now I'm pulling for the Abortionist (none / 1) (#1)

Wendy Davis. She is kinda hot for a old lady.

Koch brothers pol for hire is State District Attorney Greg Abbott. He has a spine of steel, literally. His spine is actually constructed from steel. He is also only the second Republican State DA since after the Civil fucking war.

Now as red as Texas is Greg would normally have it in the bag. But Republicans have been really pissing off Hispanics lately over that kid thing. So if enough them actually get agitated to vote then Wendy might be Governor.

On the other hand she has been turning a lot of people off with her RAPE CULTURE Ad.

Why this matters is that if Wendy becomes Governor then big changes are in store for Texas. Changes that will likely piss off a lot of rich white conservatives. Unlike many states our Governor actually has a lot of power. If Abbott becomes Governor then very little will change.

Perry has been Governor since 2000 when GWBush went to Washington. Overall he hasn't been a real bad governor. Well as long as you're not poor, elderly, or disabled. Especially if you aren't of the African persuasion. One thing is he's pretty stupid and that whole SECEDE shit really, wtf dude? But otherwise he's been mostly harmless.
