Rick Perry’s PAC is selling mugshot T-shirts

Source: Salon

Apparently he's being indicted for "securing the border and defeating Democrats." That's not what we heard

JENNY KUTNER

Texas governor Rick Perry, who was indicted last week for allegedly abusing the powers of his office, is turning his legal woes into a fundraising opportunity — as any quick-thinking politician would. Perry’s political action committee, RickPAC, is now officially selling limited edition “Rick Perry mugshot” T-shirts. Get one today (or don’t) in exchange for a $25 contribution to aid Republican congressional candidates around the country.

The shirts, which feature a black-and-white reproduction of Perry’s now-infamous mugshot on the front, claim the governor is “Wanted (For securing the border and defeating Democrats).” On the back, the tees feature a second mugshot — that of Travis County Democratic District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, who was found guilty of drunk driving last year. When Lehmberg refused Perry’s calls to resign, the governor threatened to veto funding for state prosecutors to investigate corruption charges. He then carried out the veto, which is exactly why he is currently under indictment.

Take the anti social personality test here:

People with antisocial personality disorder typically have no regard for right and wrong and often disregard the rights, wishes and feelings of others.

One of the questions is, "I want to become a milliner as quickly as possible." I'm sitting there wondering why people with antisocial personality disorder would want to make women's hats - okay, some of the hats women wear to the Kentucky Derby qualify as cruel and unusual punishment especially if you're seated behind one of them, but still.

Oh...it's supposed to be "millionaire."

You might not have wanted to but you crack me up sometimes. And the weight of those hats compounds the torture. Milliner here a Milliner there...who cares when you're rich?
