Great! More cronyism from Perry.

1. Charge Perry with 253 counts of first degree murder.

And execute him 253 times. Then repeat it again. Then repeat it again until he's nothing but ashes.

3. While I despise Perry and everything he stands for

what 253 counts of first degree murder did he commit? By upholding Texas law? The death penalty is what the people of TX. want and all he's doing is upholding the law.
I'm generally anti death penalty but sometimes a crime is so horrendous that the death penalty is called for.

I miss Molly's razor sharp columns about Texas politics and especially "Gov. Goodhair". She would have eviscerated him for his primary performance. I'd hate to have an important case in front of a judge appointed by this clown.
