Rick Perry is one of the worst people to ever govern a state that is just full of problems and in desperate need of a decent governor (like Richards, bless her).
Perry is just like Bush, but without all the ethics. The fact that Molly Ivins died while he's still in office is proof there is no god. I'm so glad I don't live there anymore and can pretend to have nothing to do with it.
Ann Richards was a crap governor who accomplished little beyond letting kids off the hook for leaning to spell. Molly Ivins would (and did) tell you the same thing if she were here.
I'm not saying that Rick Perry doesn't deserve cancerous skin lesions, but romanticizing the past won't help things.
Sure we sometimes execute innocent people, no system is perfect. But, think of all the good that capital punishment does. Like... revenge. Surely the father of those three girls feels much better now that that guy is dead.
