Look at this transaction from the 2000s. A Texas real estate developer sells land to a Texas state senator – the senator who happened to represent the development’s district. The state senator sold the land to Gov. Perry. Gov. Perry then sold then land – back to the real estate developer’s business partner. Perry scored a profit of $823,000. Tidy. And how remarkable that Perry and his state senator friend could see a value proposition that the two professional real estate developers overlooked.

Speaking of stupid:
“32 years ago, liberals asked the same question about Ronald Reagan,” cracks Don Surber. NRO
We knew Reagan was dumb when he was an actor. We knew he had alzheimers when we was elected president. What we never figured out was why NRO thought they could hide their Big Government policies.

The other thing I have no answer for is why Billy Kristol at WS is so desperate for his Defense Goodies that he jumps aboard the first nut case Texan willing to run up the deficit again.
