Gov. Rick Perry's trip to Vegas includes bachelor party for his son

AUSTIN – They say that what happens in Las Vegas stays there, but for Rick Perry, not all of it has.

The governor's Oct. 24 political trip to Las Vegas to meet with Brian Sandoval, a Republican candidate for Nevada governor, included a bachelor party for Perry's son, Griffin, spokesman Mark Miner conceded Thursday.

3. God told him it was OK
Vegas is not sinful. People in Vegas doing sinful things are the real sinners. :evilgrin:

It's perfectly acceptable place for his son's bachelor party. Even for the hypocrite that Perry is. Cheap ass bastard wouldn't even pay his own way to his son's bachelor party.

The governor used a combination of money from his political donors and the Republican Governors Association to pay for his Vegas trip. It's illegal to use campaign funds for personal travel, but Perry has a history of combining business with pleasure trips so that political entities will pick up the tab.

He did it in February 2004 when he and his wife were joined by a handful of campaign supporters and anti-tax advocates on a trip to the Bahamas to discuss public school finance. That summer, he also went on a trade mission to Italy joined by his wife and daughter.

This year, he and his wife went to Israel to talk trade.
