Governor Who Rejected Stimulus Funds Now Needs Loan

Brilliant, just brilliant. So, Gov. Rick Perry stands up for what he claims are his principals. Until he runs low on cash.

Earlier this year, Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) "was one of a handful of Republican governors who refused some federal stimulus funds from President Obama’s economic recovery package on the grounds that there were too many strings attached to the money," CBS News reports.
"Now that the state is dire straits, however, Perry is asking the federal government for a loan to cover the very expenses the rejected stimulus money would have paid for."
