“The governor nailed the part as a calming presence during a Wednesday news conference on the Ebola diagnosis in Dallas, saying, “Rest assured, our system is working as it should.”” Well I feel SO MUCH BETTER now. I realize most of the population are idiots, but I think TPM owes its readers at little more respect.
“Here’s an aspirin and some anitbiotics. You can’t stay here because that costs too much”

This article is straining to see the bright side of Rick Perry. How about the fact that he was absent during the whole incident and the fact that it took 9 days for him to react?
That is a small mirrored image of Dummy Bush’s response to Katrina and that hurt Bush badly.
Perry’s Texas is under attack it seems and in regular faux/teabagger logic they would be saying that he is doing this on purpose, just the same way that they find a way to associate everything with President Obama. What’s the difference?
Perry is inviting terrorists into Texas and is hoping for an Ebola outbreak in order to Texafy America. It’s so obvious as is the Mexican Mafia connection. Texas wants to be the unUnited State of America and is trying to secede the rest of us. We have been looking at this all wrong and it’s really, really, really time to be afraid!
Perry, genius evil villain or inept yahoo politician…you make the call!
“You’re defined by events that you may never see coming.”
Is THAT what the glasses are supposed to be for?

The patient is a Liberian visitor, so he wouldn’t be covered by US health insurance under any circumstances. Even under a single payer system, he wouldn’t be covered.

Ebola is a non discriminating killer in short white people could die too, Perry is fine with elderly,poor and minorities dying 25% of Texans are uninsured.
