Dirt Bag [For The] Governor

I simply could not resist making you aware of this Brenham Banner-Press story in which people are actually mailing bags of dirt to Governor Rick Perry. Hopefully, his staff will not be confused over which is the “real” dirtbag governor:

Joyce Covington held out several bags of black soil from Washington County, neatly packaged and labeled and ready to deliver to Texas Gov. Rick Perry.

Accompanying the soil, Covington said Saturday, will be a clear message to Perry: he’ll get no more Washington County land for the Trans-Texas Corridor.

A rally Saturday morning on the courthouse square brought out a small crowd of TTC opponents. And the words “tar and feather” were tossed around, with the anger particularly aimed at Perry.

“He has lost his moral compass,” said Carol Reiss, an Austin County landowner who made the trip to Brenham for the rally. “He should give up his Aggie ring, his senior boots and his citizenship to Texas.”

Rick Perry hasn’t lost his moral compass. It’s just on loan to CINTRA/Zachary, Bob Perry and James Lenninger.

As for Perry surrendering his Texas citizenship, Aggie ring and ’senior boots,’ that’s got to be one of the funniest anti-Perry jabs I’ve heard in weeks.
