She’s a fat, drunken slob, and this I determined solely from viewing the videos of her in the jail and also of the field administered sobriety test, which can be seen here:

Oh I know. She was probably drunk when drafting the indictment, I bet she’s crapping her pants right now.
“It was supposed to be a JOKE! but my assistants filed it!”
“To my knowledge Perry had no authority over the Travis County DA so he had no authority to try to get her to resign.”
Huh?
To quote Denzel Washington from the movie Training Day: “This is chess, it ain’t checkers!”
Since she heads some sort of state-wide, super-duper position to supervise political corruption in the whole state of Texas I think Perry has every right to apply pressure in a variety of ways to get Rosemary “Straight-Vodka” Lehmberg to step down from office.
Otherwise, who is going to make that request of her and apply convincing pressure - you or me, who are nobody’s?
.
I just watched Perry’s 6 min. statement on youtube and have to say he was not as polished as I expected. In this particular case I hope and expect he will come out on top, but for 2016 the GOP must field a 100% reliable communicator. The transition to the border issue at the end didn’t work for me.
AND other have tried to get her removed -

More Trouble for Rosemary Lehmberg
Former political rival seeks removal and criminal charges
BY JORDAN SMITH, 8:29AM, MON. JUN. 3, 2013
Former prosecutor and candidate for Travis County district attorney, Rick Reed, has filed a criminal complaint, alleging that D.A. Rosemary Lehmberg engaged in several criminal acts in the hours after she was popped on April 12 for drunk driving.
...
Should Rick Reed be indicted for the same charges Rick Perry was indicted? (partial trick question, I’ll admit)

I will call you a “conspiracy nut”

First of all, this isn’t a movie so whatever was quoted in one doesn’t really have any bearing on the reality of the thing.
Second of all what you think has no bearing on the law here.
She’s an elected official who answers to Travis County and it’s voters. Not the governors office.
Third of all. I stated I expect the Travis County voters will bounce her when she’s up for re-election.
The voters of the county could recall her. Perry didn’t have that authority.
Whether or not she’s a drunk has nothing to do with the coercion question. If Perry had the power to fire her, he would have just fired her. He didn’t and so he used coercion instead.
You seem to have a habit of defending the liberal cockroaches.
“First of all, this isn’t a movie so .. “
Good bye and so long Bob. In my book you’re an idiot.
“Should Rick Reed be indicted for the same charges Rick Perry was indicted? (partial trick question, I’ll admit)”
This article states that Mr.Reed is trying to invoke a rarely used procedure for removing an elected official via lawsuit.
Maybe Perry should have joined forces with Mr. Reed as that’s a legal remedy. Coercion isn’t. Even more so when Perry was under investigation by an office she heads up.
I personally think Governor Rick stepped in it.
Thanks JimRob!
“You seem to have a habit of defending the liberal cockroaches.”
No. I have a habit of defending the rule of law.
The fact that somebody I don’t like broke the law doesn’t entitle me to break as well on the argument that they did it first.
Lack of accountability is one of the largest problems in our society.
I’m for that regardless of what “Team” they play for.
I think the DA should have resigned. She wasn’t legally required to and she didn’t.
I think Perry overstepped the limits of his authority. If it turns out he broke the law, he should be held accountable.
“Good bye and so long Bob. In my book you’re an idiot.”
Hey thanks. It was good talking to you.
Have a great Sunday.
Good bye Bob ... I have decided life is too short to deal with idiots.
(I’m not reading your lame posts either. This means you can spend the energy on further replies but I won’t be reading them. I got good at this in past years, ‘trust me, I can do this.’)

Yes, you are nuts. It is just the Travis County Democrat (Communist) Party doing what they do.
“Romney would have won if Perry was on his ticket....”
Wow. I hadn’t thought of that, but I think you’re absolutely right. In past elections (waaay past) this geographical difference was considered by the parties (i.e. Goldwater - Arizona/Miller - Northeast; JFK - Mass./LBJ - Texas). Romney’s little “me-too” guy from another liberal state gave him no outreach at all. He was supposed to be so smart? Maybe not politically, except for destroying his opposition in the party and burning bridges that could have helped him win.
No, I didn’t like him much, but I knew the difference between him and what we got - that’s why I said I would have voted for a shetland pony to get Zero out - anyone, anything. And we who said so were right.
It’s a badge of honor. Perry needs to shout this from the rooftops. His pressman needs to pull every political indictment by Dems for the last fifty years and how much worse it has gotten. Show just how they’ve corrupted the system over time.
Perry/Walker - let’s win.
I thought enough of this post to copy it here for perhaps more wider distribution ... one man’s recommendation on how to proceed:
- - - - - - -
Ernest Peluso
Demand an immediate trial and simultaneously move to dismiss the corrupt and politically motivated Indictment.
Force the trial court to address this issue immediately after arraignment.
Insist that the extraordinary nature of the charge, coupled with its frivolous and mean spirited nature, justify an interlocutory appeal to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.
Invoke Constitutional and Texas State Speedy Trial provisions. Waive nothing. Make the prosecutor meet his burdens this fall, not two years from now.
At the same time, file a suit against these folks in US District Court under 42 USC 1983.
It’s true that prosecutors enjoy the broadest immunity from liability in our justice system, but this is a violation that is so breathtaking in its naked lawlessness that the federal courts up through the 5th Circuit could entertain it.
Demand millions in damages.
If the suit succeeds, the people who executed this farce could be personally liable. Seize the initiative. Don’t cede anything to these villains.
