***UPDATE: PERRY’S MUGSHOT*** Gov. Rick Perry gives FIERY speech before turning himself in over bogus indictment

by The Right Scoop

Governor Rick Perry gave a fiery speech before he turned himself in today regarding the bogus indictment.

And it’s fantastic:

I’m here today because I believe in the rule of law. I’m here today because I did the right thing. I’m going to enter this courthouse with my head held high, knowing the actions that I took were not only lawful and legal, but right. And if I had to do so, I would veto funding for the public integrity unit again.

You’d think any governor, Democrat or Republican, would expect this important unit with jurisdiction over state officials, be led by someone who lives up to the high standard of conduct and personal integrity. And this issue is far bigger than me. It is about the rule of law. It’s about the constitution that allows, not just a governor, but every citizen to speak their mind free of political interference or legal intimidation.

This indictment is nothing short of an attack on the constitutional powers of the office of governor. There are important fundamental issues at stake and I will not allow this attack on our system of government to stand. I’m going to fight this injustice with every fiber of my being. And we will prevail. And we’ll prevail because we’re standing for the rule of law.

UPDATE: You’re going to love this. Below is Perry’s mugshot:
