In an invitation circulating this week, Governor Rick Perry is inviting some of his closest, wealthiest friends to a “Wild Game” dinner in Houston–just not their wives.
The invitation from Perry’s State Finance Chair James H. Lee boasts an all-male host committee and encourages interested men to “share your views” with the Governor during an all-male dinner hour. “We are limiting the crowd so you will have a chance to talk to Rick,” it reads, and notes that after dinner, “wives/significant others join us for Pat Green.”
Once again, I am forced to quote Dogbert: “Sometimes, no sarcastic remark seems adequate.” I’ll have to settle for suggesting this as the theme song for the event:
Christy Hoppe, who takes an appropriate tone, has more.
Why would any woman in Texas vote for this career politician? This act of male dominance is truly outrageous, but not unexpected.
