Why does Asshat Tx gov Rick Perry keep saying he thought of using

[Proud2BAmurkin]

the Astrodome BEFORE Gov Blanco called? He said this on every interview i saw today.

ASSHOLE

[cornermouse]

1. Running for President in 08?

[craigolemiss]

2. No, he's gonna not even get re-elected Gov.

3. You can always tell the difference between leaders and managers

managers take credit for things that a leader won't.

Leaders take all of the flack for failure while managers pass the buck.

4. I actually appreciated Perry's comments.

Simple. Neighbors are in trouble, they need our help, we're sending some.

Two sentences and he put more decency forward than Bush and the feds have altogether.

[Gabi Hayes]

5. uhhhh, if he thought of it before she did, WHY didn't he CALL her

to offer the Assssstrodome

the ass

[Inland]

6. Well, that I don't know about. nt

[Flying Dream Blues]

7. I hate to burst your bubble, but I think he is just a better actor than *.

Compassion isn't his strong suit, either, but the charm of * is he can make just about anyone look like Albert Schweitzer.

[MoonRiver]

8. I don't really care right now what his motives were.

I'm just glad those desperate survivors have somewhere safe to go.

9. God I can't believe I am saying this

BUT...if they cleared the Astrodome schedule...that had to be in the works for a couple of days and I HATE Gov. Goodhair.

[Geoff R. Casavant]

10. I don't know if there is an Astrodome schedule

All the games are next door in Reliant Stadium. I'm about to surf and see what the Dome is normally used for these days . . .

[Geoff R. Casavant]

11. Okay, I'm back

The only thing listed on the Astrodome Schedule (www.reliantpark.com) in the whole month of August was on the 5th.

[Horse with no Name]

12. They cleared the schedule through January n/t

[Geoff R. Casavant]

13. Ah.

My bad. Yeah, I suppose the refugees wouldn't be there just for the weekend, would they?

Of course, it's easy to clear a schedule ahead of time, it's not like they had to get everyone's permission first. I'd bet it's just a matter of sending a form letter.

[Horse with no Name]

14. I'm sure it isn't that difficult

but the fact that it was done today shows there had to be a little pre-planning.
Please don't make me defend Perry anymore.
Can we just leave it at this?:puke:

[Geoff R. Casavant]

16. I'm cool with that

I was actually trying to help so you wouldn't have to defend him.

[tx_dem41]

15. I have a new term I want to try out for these poor souls that are being...

trucked from Dome to Dome. The Dome Diaspora.

I'm claiming DU copyright on that one.
