Texans--Rick Perry caught in bed with another man

[Logansquare]

Anyone know more about this rumor? I wish I could provide a link to the original poster on Atrios' blog, but it's buried in one of the comments sections. According to the poster "Houlden Caulfield", Perry was caught by his wife "entertaining" another man at their home. Houlden claimed to have heard this straight from a member of the Legislative Budget Board, an insider in Austin politics, in other words.

[bluestateguy]

1. I'm not saying the rumor is true, I'm simply repeating the rumor...

Heh, heh.

:kick:

[GodHelpUsAll2]

3. I heard something about this

But it was from a friend that said they got an email from "late breaking news" and since I didn't see it anywhere I thought maybe they were mistaken and I haven't thought much more about it. Hmmmmmmmmm

[wellstone_democrat]

6. NO, that is untrue and here is why...

Because, as all of in states like Texas know: the Governor is a married man. Therefore, he is the victim of a vicious liberal smear"


Seriously, nothing about that cretin would surprise me but even if this story is true, it will be covered up, disposed of, and "liberals" will be blamed. Especially here in the Lone Star State.

[loudnclear]

34. OK, who is Rick Perry? I'm confused.

Thanks, anyone.

[peekaloo]

35. Governor of Texas

[radwriter0555]

43. Like Jack Kemp? The GOP darling of NY State? LOOOONG rumored by MANY gays

in the know in NYC and the surrounds to be a closet homo, posing as the all american republican male, since the 70's...

Not that there's anything wrong with it, but if a man is a real man, he should come outta the closet.

[Bandit]

51. The rumor I heard was it was Karl Rove he got caught with

;-)

[Arugula Latte]

55. I heard it was a threesome with Bill Bennett...

...and chocolate pudding was involved. It's okay, though. It was all very "virtuous." :evilgrin:

[Pattib]

59. Does anyone know KKKarl's marital status?

Seems he always "around" shrub, whispering in his ear. That is one scary looking man. A true slimey-looking weasel.

[Logansquare]

60. Married, with child

Yes, someone actually said "I do" to Karl. A lid for every pot, as my grandmother used to say.

[Logansquare]

62. "Washington is awash with rumors" (Rove)

Washington is awash with stories of Rove's Hooverish off-hours antics (as in J. Edgar Hoover). http://www.onlinejournal.com/Commentary/121103Madsen/121103madsen.html

5. Goodhair with Nohair? Uh, one of them would have to have no taste...

:evilgrin:

[DemoVet]

12. His bio mentions no spouse or kids....

kinda reminds me of Lindsey Graham, might also be one of the "Log Cabin" Republicans.

[wellstone_democrat]

14. then you didn't "enjoy" his last campaign

yes, "lovely" "highschool sweetheart!" wife and kiddies.

[GOPisEvil]

16. Wife and daughter about 18 or so...

[mike1963]

25. Urm, I've looked at 20 or so links and see no reference to wife/kids

congress.org always puts this info on, nothing listed...
http://www.congress.org/congressorg/bio/?id=49215&lvl=S&chamber=O

[GOPisEvil]

30. Look...I'm telling you he has a wife and daughter.

There was a stink made about her getting an expemtion to getting her driver's license at 16. I think she was allowed to get one at 15 because of "hardship". His wife's name is Anita. Actually they have two children: Griffin, a son and daughter Sydney.

[salin]

33. both right - each talking about the other person

the gov - married and kids
the alleged paramour, sec of state - no mention of wife or kids.

[GOPisEvil]

41. Ooooooohhhhhhhhh....slap the dunce cap on me!

:dunce:

[KoKo]

56. Well, Connor is a "looker." Can't find anything about a wife or kids

Googling, but I didn't spent alot of time on it. :shrug:

[KoKo]

57. My "Gay Episcopal Bishop" has two children....there are alot of Gays

who have children because they weren't "declared, didn't know" or the "time wasn't right" for them to "come out." :shrug:

[Jacobin]

4. Mr. Goodhair?

Oh horrors.

[madrchsod]

7. this was also on

bartcop forum, same message,hmmmmmmm

[Logansquare]

9. Wasn't me!

I swear :-)

[Bronco69]

8. I really really really hope this is true!

Holden Caulfield was the protagonist in The Catcher In The Rye.

[Logansquare]

13. I know, that's the handle he uses when he posts at Atrios' blog

My real name isn't Logansquare, either. ;-)

[JasonBerry]

15. I just thought

I was only pointing out the character with the title -- "Catcher In The Rye" and it was about "catching" somebody in the sack.

[Dude_CalmDown]

47. My name is actually Dude_CalmDown

Crazy huh?

[waldenx]

11. He is an Aggie

the first Aggie governor.

[GOPisEvil]

17. Don't remind me...(see my new avatar)

:-(

[eleny]

18. What they do is their business

But man oh man - the Repubs are going down in flames, lately. How much can they take before diehard wingers start looking at their more liberal members and Dems as viable options. The hypocrisy must be tough to swallow after a while.

[trumad]

19. Queers and Steers

;-)

[peacetalksforall]

20. Drudge is quiet.

There's nothing going on over there so it must not be true. Right?

[wellstone_democrat]

21. Don't worry...no matter what the truth is...

...you are imagining it. Republicans don't *do* sex scandals (why? they cover for each other in their corporate media)

Personally, even if Mrs. Goodhair had it on film it would still really be Clinton's fault. Why? "He set a bad example" And, even I have to admit, Gov Goodhair is about as bright as a bag of hair.

[Ksec]

23. Its a little too close to home for Drudge. nt

[OneTwentyoNine]

39. Hey...maybe its OK with Repigs as long as they don't talk marriage!

That would prove beyond any doubt that their "outrage" is more about money,helping the insurance industry etc...than about people of the same sex being together.

This will worth watching....

[TacticalPeek]

22. Was he 'entertaining' the Bug Man?

[wellstone_democrat]

24. I've got one of an old lady with a similar sign

from the redistricting fight. Great to see its a popular sign in Austin!

[diamond14]

26. LOL....it's an OMG photo !!.....

nt

[neverforget]

27. Now that's funny!

:toast:

[BillZBubb]

32. Please Lord, let it be the Bug Man!

What a two-fer that would be! Hallelujah!!!!!!

[DiverDave]

42. God!, I spit coffee on my monitor

Damnit,:P a little warning please!

I'm still laughing. That is a hoot.

[Timefortruth]

45. Delay is gay?

Are there any strait Republicans in power?

[HootieMcBoob]

52. Tom Delay may very well be gay

I'm not saying he is or he isn't. And if he is gay there's nothing for him to get defensive about, it's his choice and he should be able to live his life anyway he sees fit.

However, this rumor, if I'm not mistaken is about the Governor and the Secretary of State.

But if Tom Delay is gay there's nothing at all wrong with that and we should let him know that we support him. :)

[longtimedem25]

58. Great photo!! OMG!!

Tom "the Hammer" Delay deserves it. What an incredible Ass!

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

28. he was just polling the electorate.

[wndycty]

29. Since the GOP loves the UK SUN

[e-mail] they may need to know more about this tee hee

[UTUSN]

31. Whatever - I'm Kicking This

She has her sights set on replacing Governor Goodhair (Rick PERRY, he of the TX redistricting-Tom DeLAY theft). But before Scott gets over his post-traumatic-stress-disorder from the crumbling Shrub regime, there will have to be sessions between him and mommy around the question, "How come Brother got the cushy FDA job, while I got this hellhole press secty job for Shrub? Did you like Brother better?"

Maybe she'll "go Hispanic" for the Hispanic vote: Carole Keeton McClellan Rylander Strayhorn-GONZALEZ MARTINEZ BUSTAMANTE.

Now that Carole Keeton McClellan Rylander Strayhorn has remarried (again), do you suppose they'll rename 26th Street to match?


Kika, technically the street is named after her father, former Dean of the UT Law School. But I've always figured it was really named in tribute to Carole K.M.R.S. and if she weren't a powerful politician, UT and the city could've found somebody else to name it after.

http://www.ourcampaigns.com/cgi-bin/r.cgi/CandidateDetail.html?&Candid ...

She is married to Ed Strayhorn, the founder and president of the oldest tennis court construction business in Texas. Mr. Strayhorn also is an accomplished jewelry designer whose works are on display in galleries across America.

They are the proud parents of five grown sons, and proud grandparents of four young granddaughters.

Her son, Scott McClellan is the new White House Press Secretary.

********UNQUOTE*******
The "Keeton McCLELLAN RYLANDER STRAYHORN" part is, indeed, Carole's collection of surnames, but just a joke at the street named in political sychophancy for her father, Dean KEETON.

How to Get to UT Austin
The University of Texas at Austin is located in the heart of the city of Austin, just north of the downtown area. Campus is just two miles from the State Capitol. Main thoroughfares around campus include Guadalupe to the west, MLK to the south, Red River to the east and 26th (Dean Keeton) to the north. Check out the main area map of the university.

IH-35
Take MLK Boulevard exit heading west for South campus; campus will be on your right. Or take 26th Street (Dean Keeton Street) exit heading west for North campus; campus will be on your left.

[silverlib]

46. And Dean Keeton was a Texas Democrat till his dying day!!!

[UTUSN]

49. Good. Maybe a Gene or Two in His Little Girl Will Shine Through

But Governor Goodhair was a Dem who turned coat.

[GOPisEvil]

63. Carole used to be a Dem too IIRC...

...she got caught in all the party-switching that went on after Phil Gramm switched. That's right kiddies, Phil Gramm was once a Democrat.

[NoPasaran]

64. That was way back when she was mayor of Austin

"Miss Piggy" we called her

[silverlib]

65. Oops, forgot to clarify "Texas Democrat"

It's a Texas term for Democrats that were only Democrats so they could win in a Democratic state. When the "wrong" wing took over Texas they "flocked like doves" to the appropriate party. My history on Dean Keeton, even though I worked at the UT Law School, is rusty. He may have been a true Democrat.

[GOPisEvil]

66. That's a more accurate description.

:-)

[MurikanDemocrat]

36. heh Gov of Texas an "evil" homo? Too good to be true.

Not that *I* think homosexuality is evil, mind you. But Gov of Texas? The Republican bastion? The home of the messiah?

heh. :)

[Hekate]

37. Oh mercy me -- the sanctity of marriage is at stake

It would be of no interest at all except for the rabid homophobia of the Bush fan base. That being the case, it becomes just one more issue I hope will come back to haunt them.

[Wapsie B]

44. My gay-dar

just went into overdrive! Whoop! Whoop!

[2bfree]

40. Hmmmmm........

I keep hearing rumors of him hitting on the gals in Austin not the guys. It sure would make for an interesting election though if it were true! :toast:

[HootieMcBoob]

48. let me get this straight

and really there is no pun intended - really.

The Governor of Texas was caught by his wife "entertaining" the Secretary of State of the state of Texas at the Governor's home.

And this is a rumor that has not be confirmed but that a lot of credible people believe is true.

And the Governor's wife has left the Governor's mansion in Texas and may have served him with divorce papers already.

Is that it? Have I gotten anything wrong? Is there anything I'm missing?

Oh, and also Matt Drudge is gay. But that's a different rumor, right?
:)

[UTUSN]

50. Post #1 Applies: "I'm not saying the rumor is true, I'm simply repeating"

Ain't that what SLUDGE, ROVE, et al., do?

[Doctor_J]

53. Didn't Jeb get caught as well?

Mostly off-topic, but I think Columba caught Jeb with another woman not that long ago. Maybe she returned early from a smuggling trip.

The wierd thing is, with Jeb, Newt, Bennett, Perry, Livingston, Packwood, and so forth, why do the fundies think the repubs are any more righteous than us?

[NewJeffCT]

61. I believe so

I think it was a former playboy bunny with Jeb, if I'm not mistaken.

[jburton]

54. Goodhair Perry isn't the only one

A Repug candidate for Texas Senate had some interesting things said about him during a deposition...
