Anyone else think this comes out at the best possible time for it to be quickly forgotten by the media?

they put it out now hoping it will be forgotten. Unfortunately for them, I don't think it will be.

But it's just the indictment, which is news enough in itself. The real fight will be joined when Gov. Perry has to answer in court for the crimes he's been accused of. It may be a Friday news dump, but it's just the first cow through the corral gate; the rest of the herd will be coming through in days and weeks to come.
