In order to
help cover his legal expenses following grand jury indictments, Texas Governor
Rick Perry has announced plans to release a double CD of country hits.
"What a great idea!" said Texas Republican strategist (who wished not be identified). "It's time the governor gave the people of Texas something pleasant to listen to."
