"SNIP...........................


AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Gov. Rick Perry said Friday he's disgusted a California newspaper ran a cartoon that depicts him boasting about booming business in Texas, then shows an explosion, a week after a fertilizer plant explosion killed 14 people in a Texas town.

Perry said he wants an apology from the Sacramento Bee on behalf of the town.

The cartoon in Thursday's edition shows Perry crowing that "Business is Booming," flanked by signs saying "Low Tax!" and "'Low Regs!" It's a play on the Republican's often-repeated mantra that his state's low-regulation, business-friendly climate has its economy humming.

The next panel reads "Boom!" as a blast engulfs the area behind the governor and his signs.

5. he is more disgusted by the Cartoon than the actual thing ?

6. So happy

Neither the paper or illustrator apologized for this brilliant cartoon. Perry needs to beg the victims for their forgiveness, and stop touring the country touting his state's lax regulations. Asshole.

Try to deflect his culpability onto that brilliant cartoon instead.

9. Why aren't you disgusted by the deaths, you piece of SHIT????

God, I loathe Rick Perry. He is quite possible the most asshole piece of crap on the planet. He lies, laughs at suffering, and is the most stupid, incompetent, prick to come out of Texas since Bush the fucking Dumber.
