It was hardly a "scandal" at the time.

Really? A historical search of news articles shows a lot of hits. We even heard about it nationally. But I bet that was just an overreaction.

I mean, it's just silly to think that a situation where a sitting governor has a former chief of staff lobbying for Merck while his current chief of staff's mother-in-law is the head of the Texas chapter of a group that lobbies for Merck, met with Merck and took $5k from Merck on the very day that he decided to mandate the use of a Merck product, making Merck millions...silly to think that would ever be a scandal! Tinfoil hat!

Well, I'm glad you told me, because now we can just move on the myriad other scandals in Rick Perry's past.

Thank you! People from Texas tired of it long ago..

BTW, you leftout that Perry got about $28,000 over a ten year period from Merck.

And you know that Gardasil has gotten positive results according to MD Anderson and other cancer institutions.
