Interesting timing. We know from depositions from down in Texas that Gov. Rick Perry got personally involved in pushing the manhunt for the Texas Dems — he’s the one who told the cops to go to the neo-natal intensive care unit. Monday, the Department of Homeland Security’s investigation of itself gave everybody a clean bill of health — while making no apparent attempt to find out which politicians authorized misusing its resources. Today, Gov. Rick Perry will announce a special session to take another shot at redistricting in two weeks — a sort of redistricting the Washington Post said states do ‘regularly’, and had to have an alert letter to the editor writer point out hadn’t happened in half a century.

Now back to the last few days of the vacation.

See Gov. Perry’s letter calling the special session, with the no-federal-judges canard included.
