February 27, 2004Mainstream Media on PerryBy Byron LaMastersWell, as I predicted, the Austin Chronicle reported on the Perry rumors:
The Quorum Report wrote this:
I posted on the Perry rumors, because I thought that there was legitimate cause to warrant investigation by the mainstream media. I still don't know if there is any truth or not to the rumors, and I was very clear in all of my posts on the issue that the scandals regarding Rick Perry were only rumors. I've received multiple emails over the past week from people claiming to know something, or able to prove something regarding the scandal, but I haven't received anything that has proven the suggested rumors. I've certainly appreciated the increased traffic, and I hope that it continues, but if you're coming back here to see me post more on the Perry rumors, in all likelihood, it won't be happening unless something big is uncovered by the mainstream media.

Perception can be more important than reality, more so in politics than most fields. It was a delicious rumor as rumors go, and now for more rumor and conjecture: I bet these rumors were started by Mrs. Perry to make sure she didn't get bumped off like Martha Mitchell. We all do remember Martha, don't we? She died so mysteriously and unexpectedly. I bet when Perry's wife does get around to divorcing Pretty Boy, she'll get a nice settlement from him. Besides, Perry and Connor both look like Log Cabin Republicans. It was an easy mistake. Posted by: r. Houston Bridges at February 27, 2004 02:09 PMYou mean bumped off like Vince Foster? Posted by: Redman at February 27, 2004 02:57 PMIt is kind of odd that Louis Black disparages everyone who's been interested in the possibilities that these rumors are true, and then goes on to float the idea that the Republican party started the rumors in a conspiracy to replace Perry with Hutchinson (while providing no evidence of this). I know he actually believes this, too, because he told me the same thing. Posted by: BarrettBrown at February 27, 2004 02:58 PMThe opednews.com "So a non-Internet media outlet has published this Perry story. Can we expect Reuters and others who jumped on the Kerry rumor to follow suit? It would be the fair thing to do, based on the precedent set with the Kerry rumor. But I'm not holding my breath."
