This Could Set a Precedent
RECEIVED Mon., March 8, 2004
Sirs,
In speaking to the Austin American-Statesman regarding widespread rumors of his sexual misconduct, Perry muses aloud, "I think it's inappropriate. I think it has great potential for backlash for those who start it."
The governor's words may very well prove prophetic. I'd be willing to bet that, sometime in the future, Republicans will retaliate by attacking a popular Democratic president based on reports alleging extramarital sexual activity, thus distracting the nation from impending national security concerns for more than a year. Later, they'll condemn that president for having been "unfocused."
Or is that too far-fetched?
