The Republican governor is accused of abusing his official powers by publicly promising to veto $7.5 million for the state public integrity unit at the Travis County District Attorney's office. He was indicted by an Austin grand jury Friday.

Travis County/Austin = Liberal. This is Political BS.

I believe it was the same County that indicted DeLay.

Considering how quickly Paul Begala tweeted about this matter afterwards, I think this was a well planned and executed event.

It was and the leftist media were in on the planning sessions. KXAN in Austin, in particular, was carrying the water. They spent nearly their whole broadcast Friday night on this, breathlessly telling us of its historic nature but neglecting the Lemberg genesis.

Why is Obama not indicted?

Well, someone’s got to go to prison...

Oh yeah, I am very familiar with this bs. I think it snow time for every Texan to contact their state senator and rep, to initiate legislation to transfer oversight of this nature to the Texas AG's office.

Travis County DA office has become nothing but an extension of the dnc Texas hit squad.

I have done my part, how about everyone else?

Actually, this is quite the opportunity regardless of whether or not one likes Rick Perry.

Until now, how many of us outside of Austin & Texas have seen the videos of the DA being arrested or while she was in jail, much less her knowing her name or her DWI arrest? Not many!

It's time the country via social media see why Rick Perry wanted her to resign. She showed no respect for law enforcement. She LIED either to the arresting officer or the officers in the jail. She used her title as District Attorney more than once hoping to have some slack cut. She was bat shit crazy. No remorse that she had crossed the median, only that the officer ruined her career.

No wonder he did not want $7.5 million for the state public integrity unit to go to the Travis County District Attorney's office. She has no public integrity.

Time to turn lemons into lemonade!

Dash cam.

These should be posted on FB & other social media with the caption:

“You want her to have $7.5 million for public integrity? Rick Perry didn’t.”

How does this affect the election? Has me worried.

The Travis County DA tried something like this in 1993. Political historians will remember how that turned out.

[JRandomFreeper]

Travis County is the a$$hole of Texas.

You are generous, and understated.

It’s now splashed all over drudge for the world to see that that the DA is a lush. I don’t think the Dems thought this one through.

She is damage already sustained. She doesn't matter. Rick does.

Welcome to political show trials.

Elephantoids like us need to show those guys the price they'll pay for admiring Stalin in deed as well as word. Turn about is fair play.

Plus, we can add a twist: Make the arrest and indictment, and then pass the law they broke. How 'bout that one, little 'Rat buddies? Sorta like that "flexible" Constitution?
