    Potty Mouthed Perry

    Texas Governor Rick Perry is apologizing for using an off color expression that was caught on tape by a Houston TV station.

    Perry had finished an interview with KTRK reporter Ted Oberg about school finance reform, in which Oberg was attempting to get advance details about Perry's school finance plan.

    Oberg says after he tried to get inside details of the plan, he ended the interview and told the governor, "try as I may governor, I guess I can't win this one."

    As Perry was turning away from the interviewer, he mocked Oberg's comment, and added a vulgar description, apparently referring to Oberg.

    "Try as I may, governor, I'm not going to wait that long," Perry is heard saying in a mocking tone on the KTRK tape, followed by the comment, apparently aimed at Oberg, "adios, mofo!"

    "Mofo" is generally considered to be a 'street' abbreviation of a common two word vulgarism which starts with the letters "m" and "f".

    After KTRK aired the tape, Perry called the station and apologized, saying he 'spoke without malice.'

    That would be nonfactual.

    At least, he pronounced it correctly. Another victory for No Child Left Behind (tm).

    Saying foul language and cursing reporters, doing things that make him appear dumb might just qualify him for a shot at the whitehouse.

    It just looks like he's having fun with the interviewer. Funny stuff though.

    Doubtful.

    The report was actually pretty confrontational, and at the end the reporter made a quip that made Perry look bad.. Perry repeated what the reporter said, as if he was amazed at the audacity of him, then thinking the cameras were off, began taking off his mic, etc and said "Adios, Mofo."

    In other words, he was politely telling him to "f*ck off".

    Interesting. It appears that Republicans/conservatives/... are the ones that have been most caught using vulgar languages in public.

    It's more hilarious than it is offensive.

    It is ironic that politicians from the party most concerned about decency and civility have been caught using obscenities.
