The Wall Street Journal: Perry Campaign Chartered Plane Used in Cocaine-Smuggling Ring
Oct 20th, 2011 | 5 responses
I have made it perfectly clear in my posts and comments that I disapprove of Rick Perry for his performance as Texas governor, for his poor and petty performance in the presidential debates and for the policies he would pursue should he be elected President.
I may have made some fun of him, such as with his Pet Rock at his family’s ranch and I may have used some less than kind words to express my dislike and disapproval.
However, I am a Democrat, and I could be forgiven for such.
But I find it strange for a Conservative newspaper, such as the Wall Street Journal, to publish a story with the titillating title, “Perry Campaign Chartered a Plane Used in Drug-Smuggling Ring,” (even with the caveat that “[t]here is nothing to indicate the Perry campaign knew about the plane’s prior history”) with all the attending innuendoes and implications — intended or unintended.
Now, if the Journal knows that there is fire with all this smoke — no pun intended — fine. But, otherwise, I am sure several “Liberal” publications would have been more than happy to carry the Journal’s strange water, and perhaps they will. (And perhaps there is some strange kind of Conservative rhyme and reason for all of this.)

The WSJ crowd wants Romney. You see hit pieces on not just Perry but Cain and Bachman as well.
I know the partisan tactics have, more than once, made me feel sympathetic toward someone with whom I generally disagree.

That might be the “strange kind of Conservative rhyme and reason for all of this,” Ron. Thanks
(I used to follow the WSJ a while ago)
Ron nailed it…and Rove is probably behind it.
Murdoch don’t like Perry. He must like Romney whom he can control. Heck a house mouse can control Romney.
Anyway, here is Perry’s chartered Gulfstream. Think he’ll let me take a vacation in it??
