Rick Perry gets very angry at editorial cartoon which points out that his lax regulation policies resulted in the death of 14 fellow Texans. So sensitive!

So the editorial cartoon is above, you can decide for yourself if it is in good taste or not, but it does clearly point out that Governor Perry has often bragged about the fact that businesses come to Texas due to fairly watered down regulations, and that. curiously enough, is also being blamed for the explosion of that fertilizer plant.

Now did old Perry take that lying down? Oh hell no!

He done wrote a letter to the paper that featured it:It was with extreme disgust and disappointment I viewed your recent cartoon. While I will always welcome healthy policy debate, I won't stand for someone mocking the tragic deaths of my fellow Texans and our fellow Americans. Additionally, publishing this on the very day our state and nation paused to honor and mourn those who died only compounds the pain and suffering of the many Texans who lost family and friends in this disaster. The Bee owes the community of West, Texas an immediate apology for your detestable attempt at satire. -- Gov. Rick Perry, Austin, Tex.

Interesting. 

However I have to wonder that if, after a disaster of this magnitude, Perry will start to see the common sense in making sure that businesses which manufacture products that might go boom, poison the atmosphere, or leak into the ground soil or streams are properly regulated for safety?

Or was the EPA perhaps one of the branches of government that Perry famously forgot to list when asked which ones he would get rid of if elected President?
