In case you didn't see the local news yesterday, Rick Perry wore a bright pink tie while announcing the "call" for the special session.
Today, I questioned a veteran lawmaker on his choice of clothing, thinking it might be some kind of "month," -- like fire the teachers month, or something like that -- and the answer was,
"Well, Perry's GAY!"
I said,
"do you really believe that?"
He/she/it said,
"Absolutely."
I CHIT YOU NOT! This wasn't a staffer or an intern, or even a Teabagger freshman, but a senior member of the Legislature who's known Perry for "a while." If you remember, he called a press conference several years ago to deny his homosexuality, even though nobody had "accused" him of it. A prophylactic dose of "I'm not gay," if you will.
If those who know him believe it, what are the God-fearing people of Rock Ridge going to think when "Mofo the Clown" hits the road for 2012?
