Palin on Greta saying the staff connection to Gardasil IS crony capitalism and that will come back to potentially bite. She must have missed the part of the $5000. contribution was not much of a buy.

Crony capitalism isn't measured just on campaign donations. There are favors done, payoffs under the table, money placed in offshore accounts, job offers for family or friends, etc.

Perry is going to wear two big mistakes around his neck, I concede. But, just as he stands on rock against the incoming, on his quotations from his book and elsewhere, and doubles down on what he said, and claims it, he also is a straight arrow on his regrets for where he has erred. I like that. No one serves as Texas governor for ten years! without a single chink in the armor. The Gardasis was “well intended” and the OPT OUT simply made the vaccine cheaper by $350. It now is made to sound like he was a NAZI, when the catalyst was far from evil. It was a big mistake though.

Excellent!!!

Also he was offended that anybody would think he could be bought for as little as 5 grand...

Makes me think of the Gov of Illinois...Rod or Rob...names slips my mind this moment, the guy that tried to sell Obama`s senate seat..

Ya Perry may have shown us more than he wanted with that comment..I am, offended that you think I could be bought for a mere 5 grand...very telling, maybe 50 grand he would not have been so offended.

And like you say, favors later, or as they say in sports...future considerations
