Cute video clip of Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX): http://www.kvue.com/perl/common/vide...rygaffe_am.wmv

Perry had just completed a series of interviews with local TV stations, and had repeatedly declined to give KTRK-TV reporter Ted Oberg details of his education proposal.

After the interview was over and Mr. Perry had said you're welcome and so long, Mr. Oberg acknowledged that Mr. Perry had successfully maintained the secrecy of his plan for another day: "Try as I may, Governor, I guess I can't win this one."

Mr. Perry looked off camera and appeared to mock Mr. Oberg, saying: "Try as I may, governor, I'm just not going to wait that long. ... "

Then the governor added as a sign-off: "Adios, mo-fo."

On Tuesday morning, the station aired the end of the interview. Mr. Oberg said during his report that the governor had called him back and apologized, saying that he had spoken without malice.

It is the second time Mr. Perry, who is running for re-election, has been captured on tape in a less than flattering light. The first time he was caught on a police camera getting out of a speeding ticket while he was lieutenant governor.

P.S. -- Nothing Dick Cheney wouldn't say on the floor of the United States Senate.

P.P.S. -- Perry is the guy who made a big deal out of signing an anti-gay bill recently in a Christian school's gymnasium. The Godly governor has followed up with additional explanation of his comments reported above and explained that his use of the term "Mofo," which I believe is Texas Christian for "mother fornicator," was "not meant as an insult." Oh, OK.
