Longtime Bush advisers such as Karl Rove and Tony Fratto have criticized Perry’s statements during his 10-week-old run for the White House.

The Rove-Bush Machine ran retiring Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (who refused to campaign for GOP candidates running against her fellow female Sen Dem friends) in a 2010 primary challenge and they lost to Perry.

Sen. Hutchison said she would not support Rick Perry ..........."Perry launched a series of blistering attacks on Hutchison during the 2010 gubernatorial primary. His campaign labeled her “Kay Bailout Hutchison” for supporting President Bush’s rescue package for the American financial system. He also attacked her for pork barrel spending, saying she was part of the Washington problem and not the Texas solution."......
