>>Nice to see this dirtbag finally indicted for something. Ironic that it involves the funding for a statewide public integrity unit - seeing how the guy sent an innocent guy to be executed then did whatever he could to block the investigation about it. (Cameron Todd Willingham) How this creep has been in office so long is a good example of why I don't have a whole lot of faith in the American voters.

>Like I said before, I'm not a big fan of Perry. But even David Axelrod has acknowledged that the charges here are very questionable.

he was indicted for carrying out a threat to veto state funds to the local district attorney, an elected Democrat, unless she resigned following her arrest and conviction for drunken driving. That 2013 veto prompted a criminal investigation. Seems like a very very clear example of abuse of power, I don't see how he has a defense.
