The State of Texas has issued a Drought Emergency.
In response, Perry's spokeswoman Kathy Walt said, "We ask all true Christians to pray for Perry as he consults with the Almighty to bring rain on our parched lands."
Carole Keeton Strayhorn's campaign responded with a statement of their own, "It'll rain when it rains. It could be that dome of hot air over the Capitol keeping the rain out of texas, but we think the state's funds are secure and plentiful to offset this disaster. Perry should call a special session to deal with this issue."
Chris Bell's campaign also weighed in, "Clearly the corruption in Austin is denying weather patterns from a fair and reasonable seasonable trend in Texas. We must fight this corruption. Stand with me for an ethical weather pattern."
Bob Gammage's campaign said, "What?"
Kinky Friedman's campaign said, "We like chocolate chip cookies."
Bwahaha.
I thought the drought was President Bush's plan to protect us from terrorist-created acid rain.
In a related development, Kay Bailey Hutchison released a statement saying "I hope that it doesn't rain on some little technicality like a cool front or El Nino."
