Check out this video of texas lt. governor rick perry getting pulled over for a speeding ticket… he was in the passenger seat, and his driver got pulled over for going 75 in a 55. the driver was very apologetic and patient while the officer wrote up her warning. Then this arrogant cock gets out of the suv in the middle of it, waddles over and bellows “what’s the holdup here? why don’t you just let us get on down the road?”

What an arrogant prick. I hope to hell you texans vote this ass out of office next time he’s up for re-election.

This appears to be a rant, not a debate. I’m sending it to the BBQ Pit.

Most likely, he will be. Dubya was the first governor re-elected after one term in the entire century. Besides, he’s giving up a lot of power by becoming governor, so he’s not exactly in a position to do that much damage, except veto bills out of spite.

Y’all should feel sorry for me, cuz I have to live with him. ☹
