AUSTIN, Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Friday hes 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 Thursdays edition shows Perry crowing that Business is Booming, flanked by signs saying Low Tax! and Low Regs! Its a play on the Republicans often-repeated mantra that his states 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.
