Hey, if you need some guy to charge you $800,000 to go around the country and embarrass your state, I have the man for you!

Texas taxpayers were billed almost $800,000 in travel costs for a security detail to travel with Gov. Rick Perry largely on out-of-state events tied to his presidential campaign from September through November, state figures show.

And it’s gonna get higher because there’s still unpaid invoices out there.

Hell, for $17.45 plus a case of Lone Star beer and a little gas money, we could have had Junior Janochek, Jr. go around the country embarrassing Texas.  He probably wouldn’t have done it as well as Rick Perry did because  Junior can remember all three barmaid’s names at one time, even drunk.

I think Rick Perry should pay it back out of his campaign account and then publicly apologize for being such a damn doofus.  This guy would have to study-up to be an idiot.

That’s what I think.
