Tuesday was the day for Gov. Rick “Yosemite Sam” Perry to turn himself into the authorities for fingerprinting, mugshot-taking, and general merriment over the extremely thin felony charges he faces over defunding the Travis County Public Integrity Unit. Finally, we would have the answer to the question that has plagued us ever since the charges were announced: Glasses or No Glasses? As you can see above, Yosemite Rick went with No Glasses and a tight grimace that says “I can’t believe I have to put up with this shit,” like a businessman who got pulled over for a DUI after a couple too many bourbons at his Midland country club.
The only part of it that I saw on the news here was that creepy mug shot. Not good optics there. Perry looks like a guy who just got busted pushing reverse-mortgage scams to fleece little old ladies in Baytown.
Pro tip: if you have to be arrested, why not dress for this memorable occasion? All the best-dressed felons are wearing light blue patterned ties this season. Hawaiian shirts are a fashion "don't!"
To be fair, for a Texas politician he's stayed indictment-free longer than most.
Molly Ivins could always be counted on for a zinger. - OnTexas politics: "Well, our attorney general is under indictment. He ran as 'the people's lawyer'; now we call him 'the people's felon."
And then waterboard him some more.
You never forget episodes like that. If you can remember them at all.
Somali?? I wanted salami!!
Yeah, it's all fun and games until they hook up the jumper cables.

Oh hon, no wonder you need a Maine vacation. Yahoo Comments is a life-sucking cesspool of the worst trolls on the Intertubes.
Who had the thankless task of the Rick Perry cavity search?
For some reason I am craving a cigarette and I have never smoked in my life.
Turn to the right!

You missed a spot.
