Thinking of Gov Hairdo and his recent problems with abuse of power, I remembered an incident from 2000, when he was still lieutenant governor. Perry, with his aide driving, was doing 75-80 in a 55mph zone when a state trooper decided that the state’s speed limits ought to be enforced. Irritated and late for whatever he wanted to do next, Rickie got out of the car to see what his driver and the state trooper were talking about. He offered her his ID — a non-verbal do you know who I am? — and demanded to know if she was writing his driver a ticket. The trooper told Perry she was writing a warning, and the camera in her patrol car picked up a juicy little sound bite when he demanded, Why don’t you just let us get on down the road? Yes, please get on down the road, Asshat.
