Strange how the mainstream media isn't aggressively covering a major scandal in Texas involving the secessionist Rethug Gov. Rick "Hair" Perry. The controversy stems from the execution of Cameron Todd Willingham, who appears to have been innocent of arson and murder in the deaths of his three young children. Read about it in the September 2009 New Yorker magazine, a story which which hasn't gotten the airplay it deserves. The immaculately coiffed Hair signed the death warrant for Willingham, and now appears to be trying to derail the official investigation into his execution by dismissing the board investigating the matter, and replacing it with political cronies.
Hair is being challenged for the Governor's race by fellow Rethug Kay Bailey Hutchinson, and is obviously worried that this scandal -- and his involvement in it and the subsequent effort to bury it -- will turn voters against him. That is, before he gets Texas to secede from the Union. . .
