Rick Perry reverses the bus and backs it over Clive Bundy.

Rick Perry Thursday Morning: "I don’t know what he said but the fact is Cliven Bundy is a side issue here compared to what we’re looking at in the state of Texas," Perry said. "He is an individual—deal with his issues as you may. What we have in the state of Texas, I don’t get distracted about, is the federal government is coming in and attempting, from our perspective, to take over private property."

Thursday Afternoon: Update (2:41 p.m.): In an email to Business Insider, Perry's spokesman Felix Browne said the Governor has now read Bundy's remarks and thinks they are "reprehensible."

"He hadn’t yet read them at the time at the time of the interview," Browne said. "He has now had a chance to read Bundy’s comments and he thinks they are reprehensible and disagrees with them in the strongest possible way."

Cliven Bundy went from "side issue" to "reprehensible" in about 6 hours. That has to be some kind of record even for the "oops" man.
