Take the chain-emails away from Perry

[douglas9]

Most folks probably have some conservative friend or relative who sends right-wing chain emails their way. Hopefully, people know the vast majority of these political myths and urban legends are nonsense.

But Republican presidential hopeful Rick Perry seems to struggle in this area, and apparently believes myths with no basis in fact. PolitiFact flagged this gem yesterday:

…Perry said at a New Hampshire house party that the Obama administration has made life more difficult for oil companies in Louisiana and Texas while being overly generous to energy projects in other countries.

“This president goes to Brazil and delivers $2 billion to that country to help them with their offshore drilling projects,” Perry said. “What are they thinking?”
