'I am the most drunk Democrat in Texas': (Shortened)

A tweet from Republican Texas Gov. Rick Perry's verified account on Sunday night included a disparaging image of the Democratic district attorney who is at the center of his criminal indictment on charges of abuse of power. The tweet was later deleted, followed by another from Perry's account that disavowed the post.

The earlier tweet posted an unflattering mock image of Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, who was convicted of drunken driving in April 2013. Perry vetoed funds to her office when she refused to resign, which led to a grand jury in Austin this month indicting Perry — who is a potential 2016 presidential candidate.

The caption on the tweet reads: 'I don't always drive drunk at 3x the legal blood alcohol limit ...'

The Associated Press reported that the bottom of the caption of the tweet read 'but when I do, I indict Gov. Perry for calling me out about it. I am the most drunk Democrat in Texas.'

Lehmberg's office did not lead the grand jury investigation against Perry. It was handled by Michael McCrum, a San Antonio-based special prosecutor who was assigned by a Republican judge.

Didn't seem to limit their support for Ted Kennedy.

I LOVE it.....ping.....

Wait until she drives drunk off of a bridge at 2am, swims to shore, leaving someone to die in her car, and waits several hours to notify police. Why, if any Democrat ever did that, they would never get re-elected, and would certainly do time!

Here is the .gif someone posted on the last drunk da thread.

The same way the RATS excuse the behavior of their DEAR READER - how many has he indirectly or directly killed in the past 6 years?

[luvie]

Great one.....she’s disgusting! I wish he hadn’t backed down on that tweet. :)

[Theodore R.]

They won’t have to explain anything. Remember, from ‘’Love Story”, paraphrased slightly: Being a Democrat means you are always right! even if you’re on the left.

[fungoking]

One thing you can say in her defense, it doesn't look like she does any drinking on an empty stomach.

[Minsc]

I had that posted on my Facebook account weeks ago. It’s still funny...and true.

That poor woman. She’s going to be the most popular Halloween costume for girls in Texas.

Ding dong

“Trick or drink!”

[burroak]

That’s easy.

Just dust of the old Ted Kennedy game plan.

The morning crew on KLBJ in Austin is having fun with the drunk da stories. Some libs call in and say it is old news, but the bad news articles just keep hitting the dims.

[Arrowhead1952]

I remember seeing all the liquor sales receipts from her buys at Twin Liquors. She bought enough vodka THERE to float a boat.

No telling how many other liquor stores she visited. I wonder how many times she was sober on the job.

[jaydubya2]

Give her a break! She has a high center of gravity!

[Arrowhead1952]

That made me remember this thread from yesterday.

As long as it is a republican they won’t care.

Might be old to them but it’s fuel for Texas. :)

Someone should do a gif of the back of her car and license plate saying, “beware of drunk driver, government official behind the wheel”

Might not be. I bet she has some stiff competition for “ drunkest elected Democrat in Texas”....
