Juanita is writing a new television series.  It’s called C.O.R.P. for Cops Over Rick Perry.

It seems that Juanita just found out that the citizens of the Great State of Texas have paid almost one million dollars of perfectly good cash United States money for Rick and his wife to maintain their globe-trotting lifestyle.

Taxpayers footed the bill for close to $1 million in security costs for 23 foreign trips by GOP Gov. Rick Perry and his wife over seven years, according to records obtained under the Public Information Act by the San Antonio Express-News/Houston Chronicle.

And where did that money come from?

… the cost of the security detail is paid primarily from the state highway fund, which is fueled by the state gasoline tax and vehicle registration fees.

So, when you’re at the gas pump watching those numbers wizz by, think of Rick Perry dining in Paris France on your dollar.

“I swear this idea will sell to Hollywood,” Juanita says.  “Picture the antics of Texas’s featherweight governor in downtown Venice Italy with a security detail of Texas Rangers with itchy trigger fingers anxious to get even over that whole Mussolini thing.”

“Hell, somebody other than Rick Perry ought to make money over this deal,” she stomps.  “I can’t wait until after this election when Rick has to go back to the Rivera with Bobby Bodine’s Bargain Security Services and Fishing Guide to protect him.”

“Hey, Juanita,” Verdelia kicks in, “Rick Perry has a license to carry and a pretty good aim for coyotes.  Why in tarnation does he need a security detail?  He ain’t man enough to protect himself?”

“Uh, no,” Juanita answers.  “As you recall, he’s little girl silly scared to death of snakes.  Come to think of it, I can’t imagine why.  I doubt they’d bite him — just as a professional courtesy, you know.”

“Amen to that, Hon,” Verdelia replies.
