Yesterday, Rick Perry was indicted on charges of abuse of official capacity and coercion of a public servant – felonies that could potentially result in a life sentence – after following through on his promise to veto state prosecutors investigating public corruption.
The left-leaning advocacy group, Texans for Public Justice, has largely pushed the issue, which stems from Perry threatening to cut $7.5 million over two years from the public integrity unit in order to pressure Rosemary Lehmberg, the Travis County District Attorney whose office oversaw that unit, to resign after she was convicted of driving under the influence.
While the courts will have to rule on the legitimacy of the charges, it’s not hard to see why Governor Perry may not want Rosemary leading an office.
Maybe, but I'm glad these gifs (and the story) have come out.
Ridicule is the only thing that seem to slow the progressives down....and we need to be IN THEIR FACE with it!
I guess Perry has to turn himself in.. I would do it at the PD closest to Steve Mostyn’s house. Send a message.
Save
So nothing has changed in Travis County since Ronnie Earle retired.
Her defense probably was I thought they said to avoid the white line
I wonder if Buckhead or his wife still read here... would like Buck’s take on this. He did the biggest damage to this Austin slime machine ten years ago..
He sure was mad!
I especially liked when one of the reporters asked about the “threat”. His answer (paraphrased)...it was a promise.
That “Hands up, don’t shoot me!” Start up move shows she’s down wit de people of color.
That is utterly and completely blasted.
When video of you strapped to a rolling chair with a spit mask on your head is circulating on YouTube your credibility is pretty much gone. LOL!
I think somebody in one of the articles said .223 or as you speculated 3 times the legal limit. Or as we say in Georgia “a snootful” :-)
It gets Rick Perry in the headlines as direct object of the verb indict. They're hoping that's what will stick in the mind of the average low-information puke.
However, on our side, we have an oh so photogenic still-sitting Travis County District attorney.

This is the sort of thing that actually appeals to low-information types. You just have to draw their attention to it.
What’s the legal limit in Texas? .08 or .10? So she was either .24 or .30. That’s approaching Keith Whitley territory.
Not her fault. That line kept moving around. And those officers kept pushing her off. And it was windy, so it was difficult for her to keep her balance.

She would still make a good running mate for Hilary. The chances are 50-50 she can drink her into the table.
No kidding, I couldn't walk like that sober. They expect to much.lol
Those in office should be held to a higher standard with Double the fines and Sentence
because they damn well know better. That is the only way to hold these people accountable.
Sickening.
.08 is the limit.
BOY OUCH she is loaded LOL!
The word is that there is a lot of Democrat dirt buried in the Travis County DA's Public Integrity Unit (PIU) files that would likely come to light if a non-Travis County Democrat Machine politico were to get in that DA's office! Since Perry would be the one designated by law to name a replacement, the Travis County Dems convened a different Grand Jury to "No Bill" this DA Rosemary Lehmberg and then this new one over the past 2 years to INDICT Gov. Perry. So these photos and blood alcohol tests and field sobriety tests never LEGALLY happened, so we are supposed to concentrate on an indictment (legal accusation) that, according to Texas Congressman Joaquin Castro, is sufficient for Rick Perry to RESIGN IN DISGRACE!
Ambitious ambidextrousism alright!
