Here's a snippet...

WARNING: More completely unsubstantiated stuff is here

This is firsthand news from a well-connected lawyer I know in Austin:

--Anita Perry has hired Becky Beaver, the most notorious ballbreaker divorce attorney in Austin, to represent her. She will be filing for divorce on grounds of adultery, naturally.

--Sec. of State Jeff Connor (Gov. Perry's lover) used to work at Akin Gump (very large law firm) and was well-known among his colleagues as being gay. They were surprised that Perry picked him for the position given his sexual orientation, in fact. Now, of course, they understand why.

and this...

I heard back from both . One refused to comment, the other said they're well aware of the story but don't want to print anything on it until they get some sort of official confirmation, since the governor's office is "vigorously denying" the whole affair right now.

Another nugget from kirker of the Data Lounge

I was debating posting this in one of the existing threads, but it's pretty significant news so I figured it deserved its own: the national media *is* hot on the trail of the Perry story. Dave McNeely, the Austin American-Statesman's political reporter, has been contacted in the past couple of days by both the NY Times and NPR about it, hoping he could provide them with info.

Looks like this one's gonna explode verrrry soon.

BTW, That's the first mention I've seen of national media. I'd be really surprised if NPR calling about it is true.

Understand, this is just another gossip piece, but it's an authenticated pseudonym 'kirker' that has been relaying this stuff. If he's wrong he won't be able to post as that pseudonym again (not that it means much, but he seems to have been using it for a while).

Again, grossly speculative, but I've included it for those who can't get enough gossip.
