We Have To Talk About Rick Perry. We Just Have To.
I’m sorry, but Rick Perry has got loco camped out in his eyes again.
Two days ago a judge, who Perry thought was bought and paid for, refused to dismiss Perry’s felony indictment. This ain’t the first time the heat’s been turned up on Perry’s indictment.
Conservatives (and even some liberals who didn’t read the entire story) say that Perry is being charged for exercising his constitutional right to a veto. That’s not correct. He was indicted for what amounts to extortion of a public official. Contrary to popular conservative belief, that’s still illegal in Texas.
So, first off, Perry sends out an email and a Tweet for people to come stand behind him by signing up at his website.
So, when you go there, this is what you get. Holy cow! The entire weight of the Rule of Law is riding on Rick Perry’s shoulders. “Continued prosecution of Rick Perry is an outrage and sets a dangerous precedent in our Democracy.” Yeah, Big D Democracy.
Outrage is an aphrodisiac for Republicans. Eau de Outrage is a big seller at the country club.
And then bless Rand Paul’s heart, he forget which state Perry was Governor of.
Wait a minute! Wait a damn minute! Government bullies? This is red, red, red Texas. Democrats do not have bully drilling rights in this damn state.
So here Democrats sit, accused of being bullies because we didn’t let Rick Perry bully us.
In my mind, what Rick Perry did is bully without the y.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
Waahhh! Waahhh! Waahhh!
1Aren’t bullied wingnuts the first to point out we are not a democracy but a democratic republic?

GOPers always want to be victims. Jesus told them they’d be persecuted and they’re determined to be persecuted no matter what. They especially love shrieking about being persecuted for not being allowed to persecute people, preferably gays and pregnant women.
5I think that Perry’s strong support of himself is some weird form of circular logic.
6So far today, our former Governor is the only one I’ve read about…. who is proud to be labeled a crook.
Not a martyr …. just a plain…. and really simple…… crook.
7In any given situation, Republicans are ALWAYS the victims. If the facts do not support their victimhood, Republicans simply make up their own facts (i.e., lies).
8Man, if you have access to an Austin American Statesman, take a look every day. Some nice ladies asked one of the high ups at the Legislature, a sensible Republican, what they could hope for this session. He said, “That they do no harm.” That’s all we can hope for? That they do no harm? Well, considering the bills they want to pass, that’s asking a lot.
9We have to talk to Perry? Who’s WE? I’m not going in spittin’ distance of Rick Perry. I’ll never forget the time a bunch of folks in wheelchairs came in his office to try to visit with him. He called security, had them all thrown out, and gave them all tickets. I keep thinking we oughta get a singing group and go sing outside of wherever he ilves these days, him and Abbott. There must be some appropriate songs. We can dress up real nice and act like we are doing them and Austin a favor.

Here you go,Marge Wood,for the Na[poleonic complex that Perry has.This is the shorter version.
11Grin. I’m going down to Strange Brew with my drawing pad and laptop and work on the sequel to my first novel, SECRET BUZZARD SOCIETY, which is available on Amazon, either paperback or Kindle. Folks like to stand and watch me draw and I don’t even put out a hat to catch coins.
12and I loved the Napoleonic Complex song.
13This is Republican small government.
14To Republican’ts extortion is a way of life.
15No, thank you, Rick Perry. I’ll never stand with you. I’ll stand with Elizabeth Warren, I’ll stand with Bernie Sanders. I sign petitions all the time that I’m standing with the President. No, no, no.
