Tricky Ricky Perry ditches TX secessionists

Looks like some birds have come home to roost for Texas Gov. Rick Perry, and he recognized it, and so chickened out on attending a secessionist rally in Austin.

Of course, he also, surely, chickened out because Texas’ senior U.S. Senator and gubernatorial challenger, Kay Bailey Hutchison, called hiom out last week on his previous support of secession, doing what President Barack Obama lacks the intestinal fortitude, or cojones, or whatever to do — she called him out on secession and nullification talk:

“Silly rhetoric about secession from the Union being an option is not a good image for Texas, in America or in Texas,” she said.

About time someone in a position to be heard said something like that.
