Rick Perry's Gay Lover, I mean, Secretary of State to Resign
By Karl-Thomas Musselman
Thanks to Vince over at the Free State Standard (glad to see you back!) we have news that Geoff Conner, Texas Secretary of State plans to leave his post next month.
Of course, some will remember him from the good old Rick Perry is gay scandal. (he's not as far as we know now) I just wanted to make sure that everyone could bid him a fond farewell.
Perry gets to appoint another one, (his fourth so far) and Vince tells us....Perry will likely appoint North Texas car dealer and Bush/Cheney fund-raiser Roger Williams to the position, though Williams said as late as Friday he hadn't received an actual job offer from the Governor.
Thanks for the good times (and blog traffic) Geoff. You will be missed.

Oh, good times. Hahaha. I remember those rumors and the talk in our newsroom about whether or not they were true. There is also a really long, but really funny story involving this and some really bad word choice by me in our sports dept.
The really funny thing is thatit turned out to be all true...of Gov. McGreevey in New Jersey. Something about life imitating art, imitating life.
Not that any of us know of.
As state here a few months back, it was a part of a smear engineered by the Carole Keeton InsertLastNameHere people to soften Perry up for her challenge against him in the primary.
