Remember that I told you about Mark Hiles, the guy who plead guilty to whacking his wife, giving $700,000 to Dan Patrick and Greg Abbott and that in return, they put him on important advisory committees and practically crowned him King of the Inauguration Ball?

While I was typing that story, I kept typing Gov. Rick Perry instead of Gov. Greg Abbott.  I laughed to myself that old habits die hard.  Hell, I’m still putting 2014 on checks.

Come to find out, I wasn’t forgetful.  I was being a damn psychic.

Mark Hiles gave Rick Perry $200,000, but he’s not giving it back.

Abbott and Patrick are donating the money he gave them to a women’s shelter.

Not Rick.  No, siree.

I guess it takes one crook to love another crook.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.
