Attorney General to Governor Perry: No Way, Mofo!

Governor Rick Perry's much-harangued executive order of mandatory HPV vaccines for Texas schoolgirls has drawn the ire of Attorney General Greg Abbott, who yesterday declared that the order was merely "advisory" in nature, and devoid of legal substance.

The Texas House is expected to vote on a bill today that would effectively hinder government officials from enforcing the vaccine requirement.

Arghh... this is why Republicans should not be allowed into positions of power. Because they are completely inept at getting anything done. So we've basically taken a vaccine that has a potential to do real good, and through ineptitude we have the entire state whether Democrat or Republican against it. Not based upon the vaccine mind. But based upon the completely inept way in which the vaccine was mandated to be administered. Which of course is going to be linked to the vaccine as being bad now. Which means more STDs for everyone! Bravo Perry!
