Rick Perry is getting a bum rap. That might be the last positive thing Ill say about the Texas governor for a good while.
Why the bum rap? A newspaper report detailed this past week that Perry has spent little time in his governors office since coming back home from the Republican Party clown show ... er, presidential primary campaign.
Perry ended his presidential candidacy Jan. 19, just ahead of the South Carolina primary. He didnt see a way forward to continue a futile campaign that featured more gaffes than goals.
He and his wife Anita came back to Texas so the governor could resume the job for which he draws a six-figure salary.
But wait.

Oh how I wish he would just quit being governor. Find a life on the road like Sarah Palin did.

Maybe we could buy Rick a bus. It would be cheaper on the taxpayers and reduce our defecit?
Bids open for one 50 foot class 4 tour bus with quarter for 2
(1 million max)
or
Another record setting budget defecit for 2013.
Maybe the comptroller need an email.
