Welcome to the new American Banana Republic. Grab some more popcorn Boggs!

what is ironic is he is calling it a political game against him. When he made a political gme to get her out of office when he wanted to stop investigations going on about him. again if she resigned he would be allowed by state law to appoint anyone he wants.

Funny how right wingers did not demand the vice president of the US get a blood alcohol test when he shot his friend in the face. Specially when this vice president had been caught DUI how many times in his life. And for that matter the old sitting president was the first sitting president to have had a DUI. Remember the story of him being drunk in Washington running over garbage cans being obnoxious to pap Bush... That was an un-official DUI but real.

so to be gov of Texas seems you need to have been caught at least one time. again Bush was given an ultimatum to stop drinking and doing drugs or the wife was leaving him when he was in his youth, IE his 40s.

the threats is what I see as the problem, again he was doing it for political reasons certainly not moral as he is lying about with his sickening party of DUIs... Again you do not see the right wing press bringing up this fake moral outrage.

On June 19, 2011, Ada County police officers arrested McGee for grand theft auto and driving under the influence. He had been playing golf at the 2011 Hillcrest Invitational golf tournament and drank at the golf course that night. He later stole an SUV attached to a utility trailer, drove it through a residential neighborhood, and jack-knifed the truck and trailer in a resident's front yard. At the time of arrest his blood alcohol content was reported at a .15, compared to the legal limit in the state of .08.[3] On July 1, 2011, McGee pled guilty to misdemeanor DUI. The felony theft and felony operation of a vehicle without consent charges were dropped. The court sentenced McGee to 180 days in jail, with all but five days suspended, serve three days community service and pay fines and restitution.[4]
On July 11, 2011, McGee, chairing a meeting of the Canyon County Republican Central Committee, created controversy when he cut off debate on a resolution calling for the investigation of the medical claims McGee raised as a defense to his criminal charges. McGee sent the resolution to an internal committee, which he also chairs, for review.[5] Several days later, on July 16, 2011, the Republican Central Committee for the State of Idaho approved a no-confidence motion on McGee.[6]
On February 22, 2012, McGee, submitted his letter of resignation to the Idaho State Senate, amid sexual harassment charges asserted by a female senate staffer.[7]
On August 21, 2012, McGee, pleaded guilty to probation violation and a disturbing the peace charge related to sexual harassment that occurred at the Idaho State Capital Building. Fourth District Magistrate James Cawthon sentenced McGee to 44 days in jail for disturbing the peace and 44 days for violating terms of his probation stemming from the 2011 drunken driving conviction.[8]

Court documents show Tallahassee Police first spotted Eagle (R-Cape Coral) pulling out of a Taco Bell on West Tennessee Street. He then made a U-turn in his black SUV, and police said he nearly hit a curb outside Papa John's before running a stoplight. After pulling him over, the officer reported a strong odor of alcohol coming from the vehicle, and his eyes were bloodshot and watery. Eagle told the officer he thought the stoplight was yellow.

Perry’s indictment called ‘suspect,’ yet he ignored Krusee’s drunk driving arrest
Is it? When examining Perry’s response to another highly visible lawmaker’s arrest for drunk driving in 2008, the facts show that perhaps his veto threat directed at Lehmberg may very well be political and an abuse of power after all. Republican State Rep. Mike Krusee was also arrested for a DUI in April 2008.

Former Wisconsin GOP State Senator Randy Hopper may have gotten his ass recalled from office for being one of Scott Walker’s union-busting Kochmonster rat minions, but don’t let this fool anyone into believing Hooper’s all tapped out when it comes to terrorizing innocent citizens. Perish the thought: Hopper was arrested Sunday afternoon for drunkenly careening down the highway in a black Suburban that was going “all over the road” according to the police dispatch. AND HERE YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE SAFE FROM RANDY HOPPER, WISCONSIN. That’ll show em.
Hopper was driving around with his 25-year-old right-wing lobbyist girlfriend, the same one that made Hopper’s then-wife join the recall election effort against him, because he’s a ball sack.

Anti-Gay California State Senator Comes Out After DUI Arrest
BY L.K. REGAN
Here's a piece of free advice: if you're a closeted gay politician with a firmly anti-gay platform, maybe you shouldn't have any cocktails at the gay bar lest you get arrested on a DUI on your way home and find that your private sexual practices are suddenly of immense public interest. That at least would appear to be the lesson to be learned from the example of anti-gay Republican California state Senator and alleged drunk driver Roy Ashburn.

Baja, what is your adolescent point anyway, that members of the GOP are nothing but a bunch of drunks, and that the democrats don't drink, or get drunk and drive cars into creeks killing aids in the process, or have room mates that run gay prostitution business from their apartments, or cheat on their wives, or smoke crack on camera, or get blow jobs in the White House, or post rude pics of their junk on line for all to see?
Is that what you are trying to sell?
Really?

My list is longer than your is, na-na na-na naa naaaaaaaaaa.

Pa-leeease.

Irrespective of the legal case, the conclusion for voters in 2016 seems clear. It appears that Perry tried to force out the attorney because she (and her Texas Public Integrity Unit) was getting in his way by investigating corruption at the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT), and not because of her DUI as claimed by Perry:

- CPRIT, a "multi-billion dollar state-funded institution", was one of Perry's "signature projects" and in December 2013 "a top executive at CPRIT, Jerry Cobbs, was indicted in connection with how an $11 million grant slipped through the agency without formal or proper review. The grant went to Peloton Therapeutics, who had a large investor that also had contributed $440,000 to the campaigns of both Perry and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst."
Improper practices at CPRIT had been suggested before, "in 2012 two Nobel laureates resigned from the cancer institute, amid concerns about the integrity of the institution’s grant procedures, suggesting politics were at play after funding was disbursed without review by the appropriate panel." (From http://trailblazersblog.dallasnews.com/2014/08/rick-perry-indicted-on-two-felonies.html/)

- And if attorney Lehmberg had resigned, Perry would have appointed her replacement.

- And as mentioned by Pointster, he did not ask two other distract attorneys who got arrested (not sure it was for DUI) to resign.

In my opinion, this action disqualifies him from public office. By the way, the same goes for Cuomo in New York who appears to have done a similar thing.

LDHR, they weren't 3 times the legal limit, spitting on cops, threatening their jobs, cursing, or spending 45 days in jail. They were run of the mill drunks.....
