"The unit Lehmberg oversees is the same that led the investigation against former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay...No one disputes that Perry is allowed to veto measures approved by the Legislature, including part or all of the state budget. But the left-leaning Texans for Public Justice government watchdog group filed an ethics complaint accusing the governor of coercion because he threatened to use his veto before actually doing so in an attempt to pressure Lehmberg to quit...Perry said Lehmberg, who is based in Austin, should resign after she was arrested and pleaded guilty to drunken driving in April 2013. A video recording made at the jail showed Lehmberg shouting at staffers to call the sheriff, kicking the door of her cell and sticking her tongue out. Lehmberg faced pressure from other high-profile Republicans in addition to Perry to give up her post. Her blood-alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit for driving."

The Left NEVER forgets, never forgives. Would that the kitties who make up the Congressional Republicans would show such spine and apply the same tactic to Obama for his multitudinous violations of his oath of office.

Travis County Democrats are snakes. The WendyDavis kinds of snakes. Will stop at nothing and it's very difficult for Republicans with any shred of ethics to compete with them.

Same DA office that indicted Kay Baily Hutchison; charges dropped.
Delay; charges dropped.

Perry; charges dropped (I predict).

I can't figure which was first and foremost on their minds:
1. Show him that he better not cross & speak ill of the resident.
2. Hurt him for 2016.
3. Help Abortion Barbie.

I'd rather vote for a Perry who has been indicted, than vote for a Clinton who should be indicted, and governed by a charlatan who should be impeached.

Just a little princess this girl is.

"Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg pleaded guilty Friday to driving while intoxicated and went to jail in handcuffs a week after authorities say she was driving dangerously with an open bottle of vodka in her car.

At jail in the early morning hours after her arrest, she was uncooperative and aggressive and had to be restrained with handcuffs and leg irons, according to jail records. Video footage from the morning she was booked shows her asking for Sheriff Greg Hamilton.

“He’s not going to let me sit in jail all night,” she said. “That’s crazy.”

She left the packed courtroom quietly on Friday to start serving her sentence: 45 days in jail and a $4,000 fine under a plea agreement.

Beginning May 23, her license will also be suspended for 180 days. She waived her right to appeal.

Though the county attorney’s office said her punishment was among the highest for a first-time DWI offense, it also described her behavior in custody last week as “deplorable.” Lehmberg, who has worked for the district attorney’s office since 1976, says she will not step down from office. But her political future is cloudy as critics attack her arrest and her behavior in jail, and as the video and audio footage of her booking circulate.

The recordings show her resisting officers, complaining that they’re ruining her political career and repeatedly asking if they had called “Greg.” At one point, as officers are trying to remove Lehmberg’s jewelry, she says, “Y’all are gonna be in jail, not me.”...

An analysis of a blood sample later showed her blood alcohol level was .239 — nearly three times the legal limit for driving."

Based on how he handles this farce, I guess we'll see if Perry has the right stuff.

The half hour "news" break people have been disgusting on this story. ABC Radio "news" is even using it as an excuse to play cuts from the 2012 debates in which Perry stumbled. Vile little propagandists are they!!

"Here’s what the governor had to say about the indictment."

“Here’s what I think is really important for the people to understand, not just Texans but this country. And, that is, we have seen an office in the form of the Travis County District Attorney’s office. The lead, legal individual for criminal affairs in this county and overseeing public officials who conducted themselves in an incredibly inappropriate way. Stopped for a DWI with a blood-alcohol level almost three times the legal limit. An individual who when booked in had to be restrained. Was abusive to law enforcement. Was kicking the door. I think Americans and Texans who have seen this agree with me. That that is not an individual who is heading up an office that we can afford to fund. Now the people of Travis County may decide that that is the type of individual that they want in that office. But as the governor of the State of Texas… I made that decision and I said ‘no.’ And given that information and given that choice again, that is exactly what I would do.“
