The legend has been aired routinely for more than 13 years, originally by a Democratic opponent of Perry’s, and in news reports—all but unchallenged by Perry. Even we at PolitiFact Texas repeated the story as fact.”
Geez, I’ve seen people give eye-witness testimony to it on this board 1,000 times. Odd.
The bottom line is that Perry endorsed Al Gore against Reagan.
You should know how unreliable eye witness testimony is. :-)
Actually, it is! I am presently reading a book about the Dallas cowboys and the early days when Jones and Johnson replaced Landry and Schram. One part is about the different reports about how Jimmy handled a player who had asthma. Of the many player and reporters who were on the scene and saw what happened there are five different versions as to the player, his position and his size, and the same number of versions about what was said. I saw a tape of it on the evening news and my recollection is different from the other five.
