" His mama&amp;#039;s picking fights with the preacher, says the Dallas Morning News.... The Rev. John Erwin stood in the pulpit of the historic church and offered what many may consider a sad but safe observation about the world \u2014 politicians lie. That&amp;#039;s when 82-year-old Amelia Perry&amp;#039;s voice rose above the sermon. &amp;quot;John, my son is the governor of the great state of Texas,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;And he is not a liar.&amp;quot; The pastor paused briefly, then galloped on with the message. A few minutes later, he repeated the fightin&amp;#039; words \u2014 politicians lie. This time, Amelia Perry stood from her pew. &amp;quot;I told you once,&amp;quot; she said, her voice icy. &amp;quot;My son is not a liar.&amp;quot; Sorry, Ma. He really sort of... is.  And, dammit, Bill Clinton likes him. He really, really likes him! He especially likes Perry for that stance on in-state tuition for the children of undocumented workers that&amp;#039;s made Goodhair so popular in the Republican party. The former two-term Democratic president said it makes his &amp;quot;skin crawl&amp;quot; when Perry&amp;#039;s Republican rivals attack him &amp;quot;for one of the best things he did.&amp;quot; Can&amp;#039;t wait for the ads on this one. Movie Trailer Guy: &amp;quot;Rick Perry&amp;#039;s special benefits to ILLEGAL ALIENS... (Thunder cracks. Lightning flashes. A fleeting glimpse of Cesar Romero as The Joker.) &amp;quot;...has one big supporter: BILL CLINTON!&amp;quot; (Earthquake noises. The finger-waving video from back in &amp;#039;99. Stop-action film of a chimney rising from the earth. Waves crashing on the shore. Scenes of huge steamship pistons, driving, driving. Low moans.) And, of course, he also preparing not to lose any sleep over another dubious execution carried out under his name and conforming to the bloodthirsty crapola that passes for the rule of law in his state. Let his mama&amp;#039;s preacher talk about that next week, and see what happens. (Photo of Mama and Papa Goodhair courtesy of the Dallas Morning News) "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
