Rick Perry: Serious Statesman

Posted by Melissa McEwan at Monday, August 25, 2014
This is how seriously Rick Perry is taking his indictment for coercion and abuse of his office: His super PAC is selling t-shirts with his mugshot on them:

Hunter Schwarz at WaPo writes:
"Wanted for securing the border and defeating Democrats," the front of the shirt reads.

On the back is the mugshot of Rosemary Lehmberg, the Travis County District Attorney that Perry asked to step down after she was arrested and accused of drunk driving in 2013. Perry's two felony accounts are in connection with his request, and threats to pull funding if she refused.
In other words, the front is a "joke" about how Perry did nothing wrong and the charges are trumped up political persecution, and the back is a reference to the very thing that he actually did wrong.

Cool guy.
