Texas Gov. Perry Indicted on Charge of Abuse of Power

In a nutshell, Rosemary Lehmberg is the head of a unit called The Texas Public Integrity Unit...one of the things they investigate is government corruption...something that Perry's name comes up in a lot...Rosemary got drunk one night, got pulled over, and Perry tried to force her to resign buy vetoing anything that would give her unit funding...which is pretty much an abuse of power as Governor...which is what he is being indicted on...

As far as going to jail...I guess it all depends on when this get's wrapped up...his last day in office is sometime in January...he gets everything wrapped up and fades to the background...no one will care...but come next presidential election...if he hasn't faded to the background...I think it is very possible he goes to jail if for no other reason that someone...either republican or democrat...will want to start the ball rolling for their presidential campaign as "the person who tossed the longest tenured texas governor in jail for abuse of power"

I'd say the second one is highly unlikely...but..even with this...Perry thinks he has a real shot at being president...which, when the last thing you did was get indicted...isn't going to happen

this case is REALLY shytty.

Even people who hate perry think these charges are bogus

Nobody in Texas gives a fukk about Rick Perry...if anything people here don't like him after he attempted to run for president and embarrased the entire state.

As far as the case itself, depends on how you look at it. It should give you an indication of how low Perry is on the politics totem pole where just a random group of nobodies and a lawyer from San Antonio can get him indicted...

He did take the GOAT mugshot though...

That tie
That hair

I always thought he looked like Junior Buford in Smokey and the bandit.

no, no they don't

I was listening to bloomberg law's podcast yesterday. Even democratic defense lawyers can't bring themselves to get mad at the governor here. Its sheer politics

Perry said he lost confidence in a prosector that showed her ass and threatened to defund her. That shyt happens all the time.

edit: honestly this comment put it a lil more in perspective for me

When the State's head of the Public Integrity Unit gets busted for a DUI they should resign. That's kind of the whole PUBLIC INTEGRITY thingy. Good for Perry. Guess her cushy job is more important to her than Public Integrity. What ever happened to the days when if you royally f'ed up and EVERYBODY knew it you'd take responsibility and face the consequences? Seems very rare these days.

DUIs have always been a lax thing in American politics. Ted Kennedy killed a woman while drunk driving and was almost President. George Bush was President and did it, as was dikk Cheney (well, Vice President). There have been around 45 other politicians arrested for drunk driving in the last decade (or close to that). Even though it shows a brazen lack of concern for other people's lives, politicians continue to drink and drive. Rick Perry was right to try and get her fired, but he was corrupt to begin with so his indictment is justified.

He left out the part where she was investigating him for all sorts of fukkery. That is pretty much the crux of the case against him, that she was not just some random woman, but some woman, who ran a team that looked into political shadiness, which is something that has always surrounded Perry.

GOP Hitlist '16

• Chris Christie - Too Fat & Got Caught
• Rick Perry - Too Retarded
• Bobby Jindal - Too Muslim looking
• Marco Rubio - Too Mexican looking
  
• Michelle Backmann - Her husband on that gay juice
• Jeb Bush - Bush
• Scott Walker - Dougheye fukkboi with his own issues

The top person right now is Rand Paul, but even he cannot make his mind on shyt. So it's him or Mitt Romney, and we still two years out.

That's an excellent rundown of the Repub Set ...... but Young Bush is out there......some people love that dynastic nostalgia
