I saw this in a comments thread over at Atrios, and didn't see it anywhere here. One of the posters over there said that he had heard this from about 3 sources, and then found
this thread at Bartcop corroborating what he had already heard from credible (so he said) sources. The "live boy" in question is
TX Sec. of State Geoffrey Connor, recently appointed by Gov. Goodhair in August of 2003. Governor Perry's wife left the Mansion and filed for divorce on these grounds.
I'm wondering if Drudge (shudder) is on this, or anyone for that matter, since didn't Huey Long say that to take down a Republican, you gotta find them with a "dead girl or live boy"? Any thoughts from those in Texas who would understand the dynamics of this better?
