A Perry Bio

If Texas Governor Rick Perry is about to become important in the GOP primary, you'll want to know something about him. An article by Paul Burka in Texas Monthly tells you a lot about the Guv.

Probably the most important things to know about him are that he is a hard man and an Aggie. And, as I noted the other day, he and George W. Bush don't like each other. They are different kinds of Republican. Burka explains this.

Somebody will tell you Perry was once a Democrat. It's true but means nothing; at one time all conservatives in the South were Democrats. They were Democrats because Abe Lincoln was a Republican. Darn few are Democrats today.
