More Perry "bluster"
by digby
So Rick Perry had a hunting camp called "Niggerhead" and nobody's really sure when he changed the name of it. But don't worry, the same popular reporter who assured us that Perry doesn't really mean the crazy things he says has vouched for him once again:
So, we can dispense with all that. It was just "bluster" as she previously characterized his secessionist talk. Nothing to see here at all.
I do wonder if maybe this next one might be a problem though. I'm sure he doesn't mean it the way it sounds because he's such a nice guy and all, but still...
Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Saturday that he would consider sending U.S. troops into Mexico to combat drug-related violence and stop it from spilling into the southern United States.
“It may require our military in Mexico,” Perry said in answer to a question about the growing threat of drug violence along the southern border. Perry offered no details, and a spokesman, Robert Black, said afterward that sending troops to Mexico would be merely one way of putting an end to the exploding cartel-related violence in the region.
Good thing there's no history of the US invading Mexico so we don't have to worry about relations between the two countries being strained by such adorable Perryisms.
