I thought there was going to be a video.

Just like Tom Delay, count on either acquittal or overturn on appeal.

who brought the case to the grand jury that returned the two state jail felony indictments.

In order for him to avoid a minimum jail sentence upon a trial conviction, he'll have to plea-bargain for parole. There are many more Texas Republicans than I suspected who are fed up with Goodhair.

So I am a little enthused about this development.

But to be clear, if these charges are as Perry and others have cried "politically motivated", then it's also clear that Perry's threats of veto -- and then following through on them -- were as well.

MY own humble O of those who see a weak case -- most of whom are outside Texas -- overlook the prior legal precedent of a state jail felony indictment, coercion of a public official, by the governor of Texas.

The indictment is the first of its kind since 1917, when James "Pa" Ferguson was indicted on charges stemming from his veto of state funding to the University of Texas in an effort to unseat faculty and staff members he objected to. Ferguson was eventually impeached, then resigned before being convicted, allowing his wife, Miriam "Ma" Ferguson, to take over the governorship.

Texas, IL, any state's voters rightfully trust the vetting process. It's not 'til later that people find out their electeds are suspect, as AG's attorneys convene grand juries.

Take money out of politics and we wouldn't be wasting our taxes or words on all this cat and mouse machinery.

Where he couldn't even theoretically pardon himself.

You all can indict him in a couple of years

So what would be the ramifications if he did? Foxnews interview?

He is about that stupid...probably write the wrong instructions on his hand in court, "cheese...milk...wait."

...that he's got a real "life of the party" infectious goofiness about him.

rootin, tootin howling mad in the air life of the party kinda guy!


Kegger! Kegger! Kegger!

"I actually pardoned myself? Oops."
