Texas Republican Governor Rick Perry was indicted by a grand jury Friday for using his budget powers to force the removal of a District Attorney arrested last year in a humiliating and very public drunk driving incident.
Saturday morning, however, Perry finds himself with the unlikeliest of defenders. Using his Twitter account, David Axelrod, a senior aide and confidante to President Obama, wrote: "Unless he was demonstrably trying to scrap the ethics unit for other than his stated reason, Perry indictment seems pretty sketchy."
Even Ben White of the left-wing Politico came to Perry's defense. The left-wing economics writer tweeted Saturday, "It seems quite perverse to indict a governor for exercising his clearly delineated constitutional authority".
Here's the part that applies to you specifically fatman:
Axelrod is almost certainly signaling to fellow Democrats and his allies in the media (like Politico) that this indictment is a political loser for the left. It could also blowback on Obama, whose actual Constitutional abuses have earned criticism from even some Democrats.

So much for OT complaining about the waste of time and taxpayer dollars. I imagine we'll never hear another word on the subject out of Valley Country. :lol:
