Worth repeating. Perry is an idiot.
Not just because of this; I don't know that much about it, but everytime I read about something he has done, I say those words, Perry is an idiot.
And I guess that makes me one, too. I voted for him.
It doesn't add or subtract from my opinions on this subject, but Perry strikes me as being like one of those inbred later Caesars - strutting, foolish, vainglorious, and incompetent.
Texas would be glad to rediscover its true conservatism, I think. Its financial straits are creating opportunity for so many pretenders and snake-oil salesmen.
