Rick Perry has been "raping, pillaging, and burning" across Texas for years and they finally got him "on a parking ticket." Maybe not entirely applicable here, but I'm sure John Henry would have had something equally insightful to say.

I am also sick of hearing that it is "just" hardball politics ... inferring that what he did here was just the way the game is played. They say that shit flows downhill ... and that meme has flowed down from all sides. Well, maybe THAT is the fucking problem! Maybe its time the norm was honest, fair, and compassionate politics.
