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.

I once owned a 1969 Plymouth Valiant that, years later after I sold it, was used in a felony kidnapping. Guess I’m lucky I was never arrested for being an accessory.
He leased a plane that was also once leased by a hip hop mogul druggie..Gee, I once rented a car from Alamo rent a Car, and I think that probably some people who rented that same car before I rented it, smoked dope in college.
Your Drug Tainted Mud-dled reply is nuts.
