More Douchebaggery from Texas Gov.

Good lord. First he was signing bills in churches, then he was suggesting that Texas queers maybe ought to go live somewhere else, and now the great Christian governor has been caught on tape mocking a reporter and calling him a “mofo.” (Watch the video; full story).

Perry had just completed a series of interviews with local TV stations, and had repeated declined to give KTRK-TV reporter Ted Oberg details of his education proposal. Excerpts from the article follow:

After the interview was over and Mr. Perry had said you're welcome and so long, Mr. Oberg acknowledged that Mr. Perry had successfully maintained the secrecy of his plan for another day: "Try as I may, Governor, I guess I can't win this one."

Mr. Perry looked off camera and appeared to mock Mr. Oberg, saying: "Try as I may, governor, I'm just not going to wait that long. ... "

Then the governor added as a sign-off: "Adios, mo-fo."

On Tuesday morning, the station aired the end of the interview. Mr. Oberg said during his report that the governor had called him back and apologized, saying that he had spoken without malice.

Spoken without malice—ha ha, okay. Yeah, when I called Perry a “motherfucking cockwanking scumsucking ratshit douchebag,” that was without malice, too.

Odds on Perry learning from this experience that perhaps his holier-than-thou act is really kind of pathetic and anti-Christian, since we all make mistakes: Slim to none.

Odds on his constituents seeing through his thin veneer to the dark lord of hatred and bigotry hiding underneath: Slim to none.

Odds on any of them caring even if they did see it: Zip.

Mofos.
