Alan Colmes is pimping this on his blog today, but it’s not exactly what I was expecting given the title. I thought I would see video of an all out argument of Governor Perry trying to intimidate a police officer into not giving him a speeding ticket. First of all, he wasn’t even driving. Secondly, it was back in year 2000 when he was Lieutenant Governor. Thirdly, it was clear to me, even before the end of the video where Perry explains the incident, that Perry was just frustrated that it was taking so long. Obviously they were in a hurry trying to get to a meeting and he just wanted to go. And it was only after he found out that it was a warning ticket that he said “Why don’t you just let us get on down the road.” But his exchange with the police officer was so short that even I was like, is that it?
I have to give it to my buddy on twitter, ExJon, who in response to that article tweeted this to Alan Colmes:
.@AlanColmes Hot tip: A 2012 presidential candidate supplied thousands of guns to Mexican drug lords.
I think that says it all right there.
