Texas governor travels to New Hampshire, dreaming of 2016, and incorrectly says he was indicted for "bribery"

Speaking to business leaders in New Hampshire on Friday, where Texas’ Republican Gov. Rick Perry believes he’s running for President in 2016, he was asked about the two-count felony indictment filed by a grand jury against him last week. As ABC News tells the story:

Perry was a little unclear when explaining what felony charges were issued against him.”I’ve been indicted by that same body now for I think two counts, one of bribery, which I’m not a lawyer, so I don’t really understand the details here,” Perry said of the grand jury that indicted him.

A grand jury indicted Perry last week on two felony counts — abuse of official capacity and coercion of a public official — over a 2013 veto threat.

It’s really not that complicated. The indictment was only two pages. I’m not an attorney, and I couldn’t tell you how strong the case against him is at this point. Some legal experts describe it as weak at best or otherwise questionably Constitutional, even as local Texas reporters in paper after paper insist the charges are far more serious than how they are being portrayed by national media. But, without going into the specifics of the case, for now, even I can read a two-page indictment and see that it has nothing to do with “bribery.”

3. Perry's stupidity is not an act

Perry really is that stupid

4. He SAID he'd been indicted for BRIBERY,

when in fact he was indicted for 'abuse of official capacity and coercion of a public official?'

5. Bribery

Maybe he said bribery because he has actually been engaged in bribery and just did not get caught.
