The campaign of Texas Gov. Rick Perry, which said Wednesday it had underpaid wealthy donors for use of their private jets, has another ticklish plane problem.
For a campaign swing that started late last month, Mr. Perry’s campaign chartered a Gulfstream III owned by a California Mexican-food company, Marquez Brothers International, according to flight records and a Marquez Brothers executive.
The same plane was used in a major cocaine-smuggling ring involving a well-known hip-hop music executive that was busted by federal officials last November, according to federal court filings.
A pilot who flew the Marquez Brothers plane was among those who have pleaded guilty in the scheme

The plane is probably innocent.
Does anybody for a split second think this is not out of the Romney camp? Its just about as ridiculous as Perry’s assertion that Mitt-for-brains was directly responsible for the gardener hiring illegals.
I suppose the thing to be derived from this is two desperate souls with a ton of money who are unable to buy a message irregardless of being able to articulate one.
Too bad the term “Yellow Jornalism” has been thrown in the dust bin.
I took a tour of the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose.
Since then, I have felt compelled to clean my Model Fifty 12 gauge while watching `Ghost Adventurers’ on the Travel Channel.
It’s all just a part of this rich tapestry we call life.
In other news,Rick Perry’s underwear may have been stitched together by an underpaid Chinese laborer
That was a Mexican *food* co.
The new PDS at work.
Oh noes! I may have traveled on Interstate Highways that drug smugglers may have used!
Oh, the horror!
I do support Rick, and articles such as this show me the mental capacity of the Perrybashers :)
I think I might have flown on the same plane as the “Panty Bomber” 3 or 4 years BEFORE him, but....hey?! This is hugh and series!!
No, his mother made it! and that's the truth!!!!
Why is this a story?
The Airplanes fault???
Now wait just a minute. What was the going rate for chartering that plane from a Mexican Company? And what did Ht Perry campaign pay for it’s use? Those are questions which need to be answered.
“I had a $20 bill once that someone famous used to snort coke off a barrel”
I once read that some ridiculously high percentage of US Currency has traces of coke on it. Something like 80-90%.

Surprised he’s working for the WSUrinal. He must have been told to do it by Rombots. If they’re agin Perry, mebbe I’m fur him.
I once stepped through the same entry door at Logan Airport that Mohamed Atta would use 26 years later on 9/11.
Obama travels in the same airspace that drug dealers use.
Pretty much any denomination, I would gather.
