Whoa There, Governor.

We love this photo so much we want an autographed version. State Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn's criticism of Perry's school finance plan and his return fire are covered in today's ASS AAS. If this battle of the back-and-forth is any indication of what's to come, we say advantage, Strayhorn. Here's why.

Strayhorn says the Perry plan doesn't add up. Guess what? The LBB and the House committee agree with her. But, Perry can only respond with this:

"The comptroller refuses to put forward her own plan for fear of criticism, but is quick to criticize others," said Perry spokeswoman Kathy Walt. "It's a sad comment on her inability to lead."

Ok...it's not the comptroller's job to put forth a school finance plan you dipshit. It's your job. If the comptroller even attempted to put forth a plan the entire state would attack her with a collective, "What the hell?"

Pitiful, Kathy, Pitiful.

Psst! Kathy, the comptroller is not part of the legislative branch. Nor is she the governor... yet.

what's kathy walt doing talking about carole's ability to lead anyway? isn't the gov's capitol staff supposed to be separate from his campaign staff?

In west Texas, all we are now hearing on the radio are ads to call our congressman and support Perry's School Plan. At the end of the ad, it clearly says it is being paid for by "Perry for Gov." Most people I talk to think this is a very bad ad campaign as it looks like he made up this whole mess (and called the special session) simply for political reasons.

If his would reach from here to there, he would not have to date boys.
