Nonsense posted:Yes I suppose things could get worse, it just seems like something Perry could have easily not allowed to happen with everything else sliding off of him, this issue might end him? Al Capone, tax evasion, yadda yadda etc.

GlyphGryph posted:What the gently caress are you even trying to say? Do you even have a point, or are you just spewing nonsense out of boredom? Or do you really have THAT much trouble with the term "relevancy", because the things you are saying certainly don't seem relevant to the things I'm saying! The DA, after being picked up for drunk driving, admitted on camera to her participation in local corruption in the county of Travis and you for some reason feel this is irrelevant and are getting pissy about it, which is very funny to people who live in town and have been following this story for longer than the last 24 hours. This indictment might end Perry's career, and its probably the one thing in the last five years where Rick Perry kinda has a point, actually. Rick Perry being Rick Perry, he's of course going to do this in a way that also causes maximum benefit to Rick Perry and Friends of Rick Perry, and now the schweeny ineffectual Austin liberal bloc is trying to oppose him with procedural political games of their own, but because of their tragic Austinite handicap they're doing it in the stupidest way at the least effectual time. Again, this all very, very funny to people familiar with the story and the tender mercies of the Travis County DA's office, which you clearly are not. To reiterate: ReindeerF posted:No, no, I don't disagree - but even within that narrative it's all political. This is the issue. He didn't rob a liquor store, he's playing politics and they're playing politics back. There's no doubt that Rick Perry is old-school corrupt like the day is long and that all of this is entirely about political corruption, but this is about the worst case imaginable to bring against him because there's no way to unwind the actions of either side from one another.
