THE CHEERLEADING CONNECTION

Laughing my ass off at this from Betty Bowers, America's Best Christian, via Gossiplist:

Get ready to howl with laughter, Betty Bowers has a new bumper sticker out: 'Gay Marriage Already Exists - Just Ask The First Lady of Texas'

Gossiplist also has this:

Have known about Rick being a switch hitter since he ran against Jim H. Even [in the 1980s], tho Rove destroyed him. All I heard from Jim’s camp was that the R's would not be as tolerant for his preferences, just as Ann [Richards, former Texas governor] refused to go public with the abortion issue against W. The Texas dems have been more humane with destructive politics. I hear that Anita [Perry] has been corralled and brought back into the fold, and the R's are trying to float the idea that it was a young female intern that she is so pissed about. If successful, the slimy bastard may skate. Also two district judges in Odessa have told me that the rumor was always there when they served in the Legislature with [Perry], but nobody got excited. ….[Perry] doesn't want the world to know that his weird sex habits began when he was a cheerleader at A&M.

I was at a political rally last night here in the lower rio grande valley and a city councilman pulled another city councilman off for a private conference saying he had something pretty serious to share. The second guy is a good friend so he immediately spilled the beans that Gov. Perry was reportedly found en flagrante with another man and was going to resign his office today. Obviously that didn't happen but we are a very long way from Austin and these guys are not the type to repeat rumors. I was intrigued enough to google it...

So it was the cheerleading thing that brought Perry and Bubble Boy together. I wonder if they swapped pon-pom tips?

Daily Kos has lots more from one of his posters:

This is firsthand news from a well-connected lawyer I know in Austin:

-- Anita Perry has hired Becky Beaver, the most notorious ballbreaker divorce attorney in Austin, to represent her. She will be filing for divorce on grounds of adultery, naturally.

-- Sec. of State Jeff Connor (Gov. Perry's [ALLEGED] lover) used to work at Akin Gump (very large law firm) and was well-known among his colleagues as being gay. They were surprised that Perry picked him for the position given his sexual orientation, in fact. Now, of course, they understand why.
