Am the only one that thinks that Rick Perry bears a striking resemblance to Lyle from Blazing Saddles: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/3qphs8g" target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://tinyurl.com/3qphs8g">http://tinyurl.com/3qphs8g</a>

The only shocking aspect of this story is the destinations themselves. Amsterdam? Madrid? I never would have thought ... I was thinking the Philippines, Costa Rica, or someplace really classy, like Las Vegas ....

Vacations are people, my friend.

$294,000 would not even cover the cost of one (union) teacher or half a fire-fighter, not that Texas needs those jobs.

And yet theTexicans seem happy to send him away.

Why, Wonkette, you seem to be implying Gov. Perry has some kind of double standard.

Since he's always carrying a weapon, even while jogging, why does he need security?

Hey, Perry's just using these jaunts to 'couth up' his family! When he becomes President it wouldn't look good for his wife to be gobbling down food like Per Se was the Golden Corral. A certain amount of culture shock happens when we'uns of the Lone Star State go to the big city. Travel can broaden your perspectives and teach the little things such as 'waiter, please' is more acceptable than 'hey, niglict'!
