Perry's Tough Year

"It's been a long 12 months for Rick Perry. The Texas governor started 2011 in triumph, at the peak of his political power, with a high gloss on his boots and a national audience of conservatives eager for just the tale he was telling," the Texas Tribune reports.

"He ends the year treading water. His boots -- 'Freedom' and 'Liberty' -- might as well be named 'Oops' and 'Dang.'"

Is there something in the water in Texas? Does being governor of Texas make you nuts?
