The only reason we were saved is it was a three part plan and Perry could only remember the first two steps. Oops.

“A Perry spokesperson denied to the network that he was the author of the text, and was unable to explain why the number appeared to match that of the former Texas governor.” I’ll bet…

Hahahahaha!

Jeez. What a tool!

We are moments away from the phone was hacked. Then, I lent it to one of my grandkids. Then my backside is liberal and texted on its own.

Three phenomenally shitty Texas Republican governors in a row. (How I miss Molly Ivins - I can’t help dreaming she might have saved us from this. Goodness knows, she warned us.) This Perry nonsense just fits the guy - earnestly idiotic, brown-nosing at exactly the wrong time.

Rick Perry is a liar, an idiot and cannot be trusted. No one believes him when he says he didn’t send the text.
