Texas Gov. Rick Perry indicted on two felony charges

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

These are the same clowns, who indicted Kay Bailey Hutchesion as part of a political vendetta. It went to trial and lasted 30 mins, before it was laughed out of court.

AUSTIN, Tex. — It has the makings of a legal dream team.

On the roster in Gov. Rick Perry’s fight against a felony indictment is Ben Ginsberg, a high-powered Washington lawyer who was counsel to the Bush-Cheney campaign, represented George W. Bush in the decisive Florida vote recount in 2000 and was co-chairman of President Obama’s committee on election administration. Bobby Burchfield, a partner and trial appellate lawyer in the Washington office of McDermott Will & Emery, has vast experience in complex corporate litigation and twice argued before the Supreme Court. David L. Botsford of Austin is a well-known criminal law specialist. Thomas R. Phillips served as the chief justice on the Texas Supreme Court from 1988 to 2004 and is now a partner in the Baker Botts law firm in Austin.

At the helm of this team is Tony Buzbee, a Houston legal powerhouse who has won hundreds of millions of dollars in awards for his clients and expresses his driving principle with a two-word slogan on his firm’s website: “Just win.”

The indictment, returned by a grand jury on Friday in Travis County, Tex., stemmed from Mr. Perry’s efforts to force the resignation of Rosemary Lehmberg, the county’s district attorney, after her arrest on a drunken-driving charge. Mr. Perry threatened to veto funding to her office unless she quit, a threat that he ultimately carried out by vetoing $7.5 million earmarked for the Public Integrity Unit that was intended to fight official corruption.

Mr. Perry, the first sitting Texas governor to be indicted in nearly a century, spoke briefly on Tuesday evening before making his way past reporters and television cameras at the Travis County Courthouse to be photographed and fingerprinted. Mr. Perry, wearing a dark suit and tie, was smiling as he stood for his mug shot. His entry into the state’s criminal justice system had the atmosphere of a campaign stop as sign-waving and chanting supporters greeted him outside the courthouse. He said he was entering with “head held high” and vowed to fight the charges “with every fiber of my being.”

Perry looks like he's tapped a few feet in the men's room stalls.

What a perverted smile.

Either that or he had just indulged himself with some serious corn dog... In any case, his smile does have a perverted quality to it.

Ugh. This is the kind of commentary that's made politics so incredibly polarized. Criticize the man's policies; surely you can do that . . .?

[JohnR! 5,495]

Practice, practice, practice...

his form really is impeccable.
