Rick Perry Does An About Face On Federal Funds!

We have our own special brand of "idjuts" here in Texas, and the number one Idjut is our Governor, Rick "secessionist" Perry.

Y'all remember back when Perry in his imminent wisdom rejected the $555 million that the U.S. Government wanted to give our state that would have expanded unemployment benefits for Texans. At the time the "Guv" said taking the money would force the state to expand eligibility to include part time workers and others who don't earn enough to contribute to his campaign. Then he mouthed the mantra of the GOP that it would increase the tax burden on Texans, blah, blah, blah.

We guess what? Now Ole Rick is asking the Federal Government for $170 million loan to keep unemployment benefits flowing. Nice turn around from the guy who threatened succession!

What it all boils down to is a grandstand play. Perry wants to look strong and individualistic. "Aw heck we don't need any of that stimulus money here in Texas!"

That was for the "base". Now as the pickings are getting slim, Perry is back with his hands out, hoping the news media will forget to cover the event.

You know, I take back the whole "idjut" thing. Perry is nothing but a duplicitous asshole. Take that to your damned "teaparty" Governor Perry!
