>> The impeachment of Pa Furgeson.

He was guilty of crimes. And impeachment of one guy does not create any precedent for impeachment of another guy. This is just bullshit partisan hackery on your account.

>> If she stepped down, he could appoint her replacement. And the investigations would go away.

That's highly speculative. Not enough to warrant an indictment.

Axelrod defends Perry, calls indictment ‘pretty sketchy’
washingtontimes.com

Senior aide to President Obama, David Axelrod, took to twitter on Saturday to defend Texas Republican Gov. Rick Perry who was indicted by a grand jury Friday for abusing his budget powers.

“Unless he was demonstrably trying to scrap the ethics unit for other than his stated reason, Perry indictment seems pretty sketchy,” Mr. Axelrod tweeted.

It has NOT been determined that a Texas governor does not have that power.

The impeachment of Pa Furgeson.


There is such a familial feel to TX pols. It must be very nice.........like having family governing you.
