Figures, and by our (Austin’s) longtime Democrat prosecutors office. No, no conflict there.
“The Texas Democrat… Party called on Perry to resign after the indictment [for “coercion”] was announced, calling the situation ‘unbecoming’ of a Texas governor.” No, no conflict here.
It’s a funny story, if you like tales about alcoholic Democrat prosecutors who throw fits when arrested for drunk driving, and therefore serve 45 days in jail, which is where this began. But not so funny now that they’ve got Rick facing prison time if his defenders lose the case to a (very highly probable) all-Democrat jury.
It’s all too obvious what they’re doing: prepping the battlespace for the Queen of Benghazi. Can’t be having her lizardness facing anyone too strong in 2016. She and Slick Willie might lose. Oh, the horror.

UPDATE: Conservatives, predictably, are not amused. But I bet the drunk-driving district attorney whose grand jury indicted Rick is having a belly laugh. Now. Then, she threw a hissy fit.
MORE: Law professor Eugene Volokh, of the Volokh Conspiracy, seems to be saying he thinks the indictment can’t be legally sustained, though he admits he’s no expert on Texas law.
