There are three obvious reasons why this is nothing but a political witch hunt.

1. The governor was just doing his job.
2. Political battles have always been a part of our democracy (constitutional republic),
   and,
3. Ummm…. Uh, No, that’s not it. Uh… Uh…

I’m sorry, I can’t.

Oops.

There is no way this sticks – it’s obvious political payback. But still, hilarious. It’s the world Perry’s party made, and now he gets to live in it.

“But I’m wearing my ‘Look I’m Smart!’ glasses!”

And there you have it my friends. Glasses and eye surgery not withstanding, a sitting Governor indicted for abuse of power. “Thank God and Greyhound You’re Gone”

[thx1138]

Well, of course he’s not a real Republican…you know, such as because

When I lived in Texas it was legal to drive while drinking a beer.
Now it’s legal to accept Rick Perry as governor. Texas continues its decline.

Only a complete idiot would make a public threat like that to a…nevermind…

There’s going to a job opening in Ferguson Police Department Perry can apply for when he leaves his current job.

He’s wearing his “smart” glasses. I wonder if he has a pair of “get out of jail free” glasses.
I love this so much. The only thing better would be Rick in a prison shower. I hate the rotten, corrupt, stupid SOB, but I must admit he has exceptionally perty lips.

[dommyluc]

I saw what you did there.
You’re not allowed to be more clever than I am, dammit! (LOL)

[lestatdelc]

Holy guacamole. Better call up some more National Guardsmen Rick, those “smart” glasses ain’t working’.

[fargo116]

Are you sure they just didn’t indict his Smart Glasses™?

[ewparris]

With Perry, the oppo research ads just write themselves.

[darrtown]

Ummmm … oops.

Politics is a blood sport.

[epicurus]

The glasses are not going to get him out of this one. I eagerly await the verdict. Prediction: Rick Perry does not get GOP nom in '16. If convicted, good riddance to bad rubbish.

Jeez, I wish Molly Ivins were still alive; she’d be on this like a pack of miniature pinschers on a three-legged rat.

Have your tape recorders ready Monday. Limbaugh and the rest should have some interesting things to say about this.

[ncsteve]

Heh. Austin.
