Thus proving he’s insane…

No jail time. But he’ll never win another elective office.
This statement reminds me of this:
"And if I had to do it again, I would make exactly the same decision.”
What was that aphorism about insanity and repetition…? How did that go?

The more the Governor talks, the more he makes the Prosecutor’s case.
The only downside to this situation is that I was looking forward–with plenty of popcorn–to the Republican Presidential primary: the last one was such great theater.

Republican charlatans, crooks and liars like Rick Perry never fail to claim they speak for the “people”. The only people they speak for are the RWNJ’s that live in the fox news bubble.

I assume that there are ways to remove an official from office for cause. Extortion, however, is not one of those ways.

TPM: Perry was charged for threatening to veto funding for the Texas public integrity unit in order to force Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg to resign. … “I stood up for the rule of law in the state of Texas," he said on “Fox News Sunday” according to Politico. "And if I had to do it again, I would make exactly the same decision.”
Shorter Rick Perry: “I’m a good leader cause I don’t learn from my mistakes.”

Actually no, he wasn’t-- and I emailed TPM and Brendan James to correct the oversight-- which was Perry’s intent-- to deflect from the actual charges (posted on yesterday’s article/thread):
TPM and Brendan James need to get their facts straight.
Listing the charges (from The Austin American-Statesman):
Grand jurors charged Perry, 64, with abuse of official capacity, a first-degree felony, and coercion of a public servant, a third-degree felony. The first charge carries a punishment of 5-99 years and a fine of up to $10,000. The second charge is punishable by 2-10 years and a fine of up to $10,000.
The indictment stems from Perry’s threat last summer to withhold $7.5 million in state money from Lehmberg’s office unless she step down – a threat he later carried out by vetoing an appropriation in the state budget.
Get it right TPM, please?

Im here in Texas and I never heard the “public” call for her to step down…only those who were being investigated for corruption.
