>> Oh. So you prefer a talking head who doesn't know shit from Shinola.

No. But I posted credible "non-talking head" links yesterday from people who really understand the issue. Legal scholars.

>> He could have called for their resignation.

Yes, but as I pointed out, you're talking about two tiny counties versus Travis county. Who knows if Perry was even aware of those DWIs?

The link you posted in no way implicates Perry. You can't just say, "A contributor to Perry's political career got special treatment therefore Perry is guilty."

If that were the case, Eric Holder wouldn't be AG today, as for the first time in the nation's history the AG was a contribution "bundler" appointee. AG appointees are not usually major contributors. The president should have been indicted for paying off Solyndra, right? Of course not. Because you're a partisan nutjob, so that makes it okay.

Well the Russian winger got what he wanted:

Truck Convoy Returns Swiftly to Russia from Ukraine TIME

He showed he could invade the Ukraine without military recourse from the Ukraine or the West; that he's not afraid of the West which the Russians love; that he only has a token regard for Russian ethnics in other countries and that this is his way of giving up on the notion of annexing the Ukraine.
