Rick Perry's bio: Now you see it, now you don't

[white cloud]

Something's missing from the Texas governor's official state website. Gone from Rick Perry's biography is any mention of the Trans-Texas Corridor, the beleaguered toll-road project the governor once touted as a crowning jewel accomplishment of his tenure in office. Scrubbed is the paragraph about how Perry expanded the children's health insurance program -- a popular program with Democrats but not so much with Republicans whose votes the governor wants in next year's GOP primary. And vanished is the previous mention of Perry building "a stronger safety net for the poorist of the poor." That's been replaced by a paragraph about stopping illegal immigration.

1. He's a revisionist historian

Pretty soon he'll deny he ever mentioned secession.:eyes:

The story has been updated

UPDATE: Perry spokesman Allison Castle says the update was routine and not related to the campaign. She said children's health is mentioned elsewhere on the site as a priority (so is the Trans-Texas Corridor, if you search the archived press releases). But as part of the official bio? They're gone. Said Castle: "We updated the bio to emphasize accomplishments of the 81st legislative session."

It's always routine when he hides something. It was routine when he replaced the Texas Forensic board too.
