I am sure that Dave thinks those things will make people forget that Governor Goodhair is a dumb ass. And the ladies should go for him, so that demographic is addressed. Now what would be funny is if the rumors that Perry bats for both teams is true... gawker.com

Professors Now Say SLAVERY Forced Colleague To Batter Teen, Destroy Her Anti-Abortion Poster 8:27 AM 08/16/2014 SI liberals nod their heads knowingly. Traumatized, that's what the black lesbian feminist studies professor was. 4289717 The saga of University of California, Santa Barbara feminist studies professor Mireille Miller-Young has taken yet another bizarro twist after her defenders urged a judge to excuse the criminal allegations against her because of the “cultural legacy of slavery.” Miller-Young pleaded no contest last month to misdemeanor counts of battery, theft and vandalism after she rallied up a small gaggle of female vigilantes and attacked abortion protesters Thrin Short, 16, and Joan Short, 21. The radical feminist armada forcibly stole a graphic anti-abortion sign from the two protesters. Miller-Young scratched and appeared to push the 16-year-old girl, then destroyed the sign. (VIDEO: The Feminist Studies Prof Facing Assault Charges For Attacking 16-Year-Old Abortion Foe) Now, as Miller-Young awaits sentencing, a coterie of her fellow professors has submitted letters about their colleague to the judge presiding over the case, Brian Hill. As Fox News notes, some of the professors wrote the glowing letters on officially UCSB letterhead — possibly on school equipment and during their taxpayer-funded work time. UCSB history professor Paul Spikard charged in his letter to Judge Hill that Miller-Young has been the victim of “an energetic smear campaign that seems to have little to do with her person or her actions, and a great deal to do with fomenting racial hatred and rallying right-wing political sentiment.” “It would be tragic if Dr. Miller-Young were sentenced to jail time or mandatory anger management classes based on the press’ portrayal of her as an Angry Black Woman,” Spikard wrote. Miller-Young, who specializes in queer theory, black film and pornography, apparently failed to mention either “racial hatred” or “right-wing political sentiment” when she speaking to police about the event in Marc just after it initially happened. Instead, she said felt “triggered in a negative way” by graphic images on the anti-abortion poster and on corresponding anti-abortion literature. “Asked if there had been a struggle, Miller-Young stated, ‘I’m stronger so I was able to take the poster.’” (RELATED: Charges For Prof Who Claimed ‘MORAL RIGHT’ To Censor, Batter 16-Year-Old Abortion Foe) The Santa Barbara Independent still has the full and amazing police report. Another professor, Eileen Boris of UCSB’s feminist studies department, urged the judge in the case to be lenient because Miller-Young was three months pregnant when she stole the anti-abortion sign, destroyed it and battered a 16-year-old girl. “She was at the stage of a pregnancy when one is not fully one’s self fully, so the image of a severed fetus appeared threatening,” Boris wrote, according to Fox News. “If she appears smiling on camera, she is ‘wearing the mask,’ that is, she is hiding her actual state through a strategy of self-presentation that is a cultural legacy of slavery.” Slavery was abolished in the United States about 110 years before Miller-Young was born.

Texas governor Rick Perry wanted Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg to resign after she was arrested and pleaded guilty to drunken driving in April 2013. When she refused, Perry vetoed the $7.5 million over two years for the public integrity unit, trying to restore its image after Lehmberg’s arrest and refusal to step down. A leftist, out-of-state-operated, Liberal attack-dog group calling itself Texans for Public Justice filed a complaint against the governor. Special Judge Robert “Bert” Richardson hand picked San Antonio defense attorney Michael McCrum (an Obama pick to be US Attorney for the Western District of Texas) to lead the investigation, reportedly under the authority of Rosemary Lehmberg. As is typical for Texas Politics an indictment was rubber-stampedissued with little real legal basis. You may recall another Travis County DA’s unethical legal war against Tom Delay that was eventually thrown out of court once the case rose above the cesspool of Texas, Democrat-controlled courts. Such cases are rarely about the conviction, but about the accusation, in order to hamstring a politician’s career. Earlier Austin, Texas attorney Kerry O’Brien filed complaints against Lehmberg and Patricia Summerville, the assistant campaign treasurer for the “Friends of Rosemary Lehmberg” SPAC. O’Brien’s complaint claims Lehmberg used $227,885.46 in “unidentified, unreported” campaign contributions to pay her lawyers for their work in her removal lawsuit. O’Brien says between July and December 2013, Lehmberg reported zero campaign contributions, but a January 2014 report shows the payment made to the Richards, Rodriguez & Skeith LLP law firm on Dec. 27, 2013. Below is the video of Lehmberg’s DWI arrest…
