The Golden Rule

We may have our first election scandal of the 2010 governor's race, but it involves fundraising from 2006, http://trailblazersblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2009/04/bob-perry-to-rick-perry-follow.html.

The DMN reported today that lawyers for Perry and the Republican Governors' Association are denying the RGA was used as a straw-man for a $1 million contribution from Houston homebuilder Bob Perry to Rick.

Perry's 2006 dem challenger, the disgruntled Chris Bell, is suing in district court in Austin. He claims Perry accepted this clandestine $1 million while he was slapping Bell around the state for accepting $1 million from a Texas trial lawyer.

While Bell is known as a sore loser, it's surprising he hasn't yet accepted the golden rule of politics: Do unto others before they can do unto you.
