Gov. Perry: The ultimate hypocrite

Last week in New Hampshire our own ridiculous Gov. Hair called for an end to Congressional "perks," saying "They’ve been living lavishly off the taxpyers"

Back in kindergarten, we had the perfect response to statements like the above: "It takes one to know one."

How lavishly is Hair living off Texas taxpayers? Well, forget for a moment that we’re footing the $500,00 in rent he we’re paying for his mansion. (OK, I agree: It’s impossible to forget that.) According to this story in the Texas Tribune, at a time of a crippling drought, Hair consumed 88,000 gallons of water at his mansion in August alone, nearly 10 times the average use in Austin. That’s disgraceful.

But then Hair has been disgracing Texas taxpayers for years now and although the country and the world at large can now be spared the prospect of Hair even winning the GOP Presidential nomination, let alone the presidency, he will return to Texas stronger than ever where he will continue to destroy the state, enriching the already wealthy, saturating boards and commissions with appointees determined to destroy the state’s environment and crippling our children’s history classes.
