According to Keith Olbermann, the Countdown commentator, called Rick Perry the "worst person in the world" last night because of his double talk and policy to spend money the state simply doesn't have.
Olbermann did get one thing wrong. He said the state is going to have an $11 billion shortfall and spend nearly a $1 billion on ideologic textbooks. The reality is the state budget shortfall is actually closer to $18 billion. But what's a billion here or there when you want to spend over half a million of taxpayer money for a posh rental mansion.
