Texans fuming

Hey -- here's a blog that for a change does not mention ____ (you know, the one that Peggy Noonan described as "an angry little attack muffin").

This is about the dumb-ass one, not the smart-ass one.

Texans have already expressed their displeasure, via a poll, where 39% of Republicans said Rick Perry's campaign had had a negative effect on the image of Texas, while only 13% said it had been positive.

Now, injury has been added to insult.   It cost the taxpayers of Texas $ 798,031 for the governor's security detail to travel with him on the campaign trail from September through November.   And it will go higher as bills for December and January come in.   Because security for the governor is a taxpayer expense, the taxpayers, not the campaign, pays for it.

As a taxpayer, I know I would resent hell out of having to pay for our Gov. Nathan Deal to run around making a fool of himself and our state on national TV.
