The Sacramento Bee -- sacbee.com -- Molly Ivins: Peerless leaders of Texas

yes, we here in minnesota elected a pro wrestler to be governor. we did. i didn't vote for him, but i wish i had.

people from and in texas, however, don't get to make fun of jesse. not one whit. here's why.

Gov. Goodhair Perry has already earned himself a new nickname after a stunning interview with the Austin American-Statesman in which he noted that Texas has two very serious problems that he, Rick the Reluctant, plans to do exactly nothing about. "Gov. Rick Perry said Wednesday that Texas is burdened by an outdated, out-of-whack tax system and a public education finance system that has to go," reported the paper. "But the state's top elected leader also said Texans shouldn't expect the upcoming legislature to do anything about either. Perry said tacking the dense issues is too much to ask of new leaders."
