well you can be sure of one thing. this issue will be fully investigated and if there’s anything there it’ll come out.

I also had the same impression of his five grand remark. He wasn’t offended at the suggestion of being bought. He was offended that it only took 5 grand out of a 30 million haul.

She should have said “So, Governor, if it was say a few million then that would been enough for you?”

It’s like the line about what kind of woman do you think i am?

Having lived through this issue, the Dems launched a full investigation and the result did not please them. Perry's office turned over 750+ pages of emails. The whole decision was based on the CDC and FDA estimates of the number of lives it would save. The Dems dropped it like a rock.

That said, Perry's answer was stupid. He could have said:

Let me start by saying I truly appreciated your endorsement in my race for Governor two years ago. Five years ago I signed the bill that negated my EO before it ever went into effect, and admitted I had made a mistake.

Your implication now that my influence is for sale deeply offends me and frankly is beneath you.
