[Governor Rick] Perry will moderate a forum Monday on President Barack Obama’s first 100 days.
Expect more talk about out-of-control Washington spending, says spokesman Mark Miner, with much time spent listening to people at the Dallas-area stop on a tour by three conservative radio talk-show hosts.
Gov. Rick Perry has asked for 37,430 courses of anti-viral medicine from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention because of the swine flu outbreak.
Damn that meddling, intrusive, too-expensive federal government! Always there when you really need them!
So which 37,430 Texans has Rick Perry chosen to survive?
I seriously wish that SOMEONE in Washington, even if Obama can’t do it because of the high political price, would respond to Perry’s request, and all future federal aid requests with, “I’m sorry, we can’t do that, because we are trying VERY hard to honor your request to stop meddling and oppressing you, plus we’d hate to spend too much money.” It would be so awesome. (As long as Texas then voted Perry out and got someone in who wasn’t so stupid, so all of my friends and family could get what they actually need from the federal government.)
You know what really distresses me about this dichotomy?
Perry and his kind don’t even recognize their own hypocrisy. They’re that stupid.
