A Little Help Needed Here
Dr. Gary and I have been exchanging emails all afternoon trying to tie down a story we both recall about Rick Perry but can’t find the source.
When Perry ran for agricultural commissioner against Jim Hightower he claimed that Hightower had visited the home of Jane Fonda. When pressed for proof he finally said that Hightower had visited Los Angeles and that Los Angeles was the home of Jane Fonda.
We thought maybe it was in the book. (In Texas, when somebody is an expert, we say they “wrote the book on it.” Dr. Gary really did write the book on it.) It’s not, probably due to some ignorant Yankee editor.
Now we’re wondering if we read about it in one of Molly Ivins books.
Anybody recall?
