Perry's rental home raising eyebrows

By APRIL CASTRO
Associated Press Writer
.... Perry and his wife, Anita, will live at the secluded estate at taxpayer expense for about a year while the Governor's Mansion undergoes repairs.

The facelift at the mansion, a designated National Historic Landmark, will include new plumbing and the removal of lead paint and a compound believed to contain asbestos.

In the meantime, Perry's new pad will be a 6,386-square-foot gated property most recently listed on the market for $1.85 million.



Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee moved his family into a donated triple-wide mobile home for 16 months in 2000. "I'm a Republican. I'm trying to save the taxpayers money," Huckabee explained at the time. ....



The last time a Texas governor was forced out of the mansion while it underwent repairs was 1979. Bill Clements moved to a $1,500-a-month downtown condominium. ....

2. Don't forget this guy

he was hand-picked by Bush for governor and was just re-elected for a third term. As a Texan, I am embarrassed to admit that this type of person is exactly what most Texans admire - scary thought indeed.

Peace

4. Ah, Bush and Perry......

I've always thought that Goodhair makes Nincompoop look like a member of MENSA.....

They're both an embarrassment verging on an abomination.

6. It wasn't "most Texans." It was idiot Kinky & Grandma-4-husbands who put GOODHAIR back in n/t

Yaas, those oh-so-trendy Kinksters with his artsy-craftsy posters on their manicured bohemian lawns. And the schoolteachers looking for a pseudo-Ann-RICHARDSON.

8. He was elected for his 2nd term

he finished out Bush's term, since he was Lt. Governor, and has been elected twice.


And I wouldn't say most Texas admire him. He won with only 39% of the vote. And even the staunchest conservatives that I know, dislike Perry greatly.

3. I never thought I'd have a nice thing to say about Huckabee,

but his moving his family into a mobile home during the renovations of the governor's mansion was not only a good move, but a smart one politically.

5. I'm Sure Bob Perry Gave Him A "Sweet Deal"

Looks like the Texas taxpayers are gonna get soaked on this one. Here's hoping Ronnie Earle investigates this.

7. Is he having balls for his many friends in that 6300 square feet?

Or are they all playing basketball in droves? Or roller skating?

Or having a pickup symphony orchestra playing?

A giant chamber music party?

9. goodhair? What did Edward's do now???

10. Perrys' hair makes Edwards went to Scissorhands on a bad day...

Think Dallas BIG hair and pure laquer sans the blue eye shadow....although Austin is rife with rumours on that score!
