While Governor Perry and his family vacation in China, his campaign spokesman, Mark Miner, thought it would be super cool if he were to hold a press conference in front of Bill White's campaign headquarters.
I think Mr. Miner seriously misunderestimated Bill White and his supporters.
A big thanks to Philip over at BOR and to Texas Democrats for their bold, effective and hilarious efforts at showing us a true Texas clown.
Meanwhile, it seems that, except for his daughter's expenses, the Governor is not paying for his family vacation in China. An organization called Texas One is funding the trip.
The Texas One top tier supporters that contribute $50,000 annually over three years include Exxon Mobil, Centerpoint Energy, Shell and others.
I think we've seen this movie rerun far too many times. Mark Miner might think it is cute to deliver a generator in front of Bill White's campaign office while his boss is off serving as a tool for the interests of some of the biggest corporate fat cats in Texas.
TexasOne supporters include a top tier of givers that contribute $50,000 annually over three years. Among them: Associated General Contractors, CenterPoint Energy, Exxon Mobil, McLane Group, the Greater Houston Partnership, AT&T and Shell. The latter three are among those scheduled to go on the China trip, along with other entities and state leaders, including Comptroller Susan Combs and Secretary of State Hope Andrade.
Maybe Mark Miner would like to tell us why that little ol' generator thing is so important.
