Perry on El Paso violence

Mulvaney gives it 4 peppers...

The claim...


In a TV interview last week about border security, Gov., Rick Perry said: "It’s becoming really frustrating when we’re seeing a Mexican governor assassinated across the border from Texas, you’ve got bullets hitting the City Hall in El Paso, you’ve got bombs exploding in El Paso."

The facts...


There has not been a car bombing, or other drug-related bombings, in El Paso. Asked what the governor was referring to, aides said that he meant to cite a July 15 car bombing across the border in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.

Perry campaign settles lawsuit charging he hid $1 million contribution

The Rick Perry campaign has paid $426,000 to his 2006 Democratic opponent to settle a lawsuit accusing the governor of trying to hide a $1 million contribution from Houston homebuilder Bob Perry (no relation). Democrat Chris Bell filed the lawsuit claiming the money was illegally funneled through the Republican Governors Association in the final days of the 2006 campaign. Voters didn't know the full extent of the funding arrangement until after the election. Slater reports:
