Man Who Helped Bush Steal 2000 Election and Wreck FEMA Now Advises Perry

BILL BERKOWITZ FOR BUZZFLASH AT TRUTHOUT

Capitalizing on political friends and contacts has been the name of the game throughout Allbaugh's career. Now he hopes to do for Rick Perry what he did for George w. Bush; help guide him to the White House.

In Quentin Tarantino's film Pulp Fiction, Harvey Keitel plays Winston Wolf, an underworld problem solver. When two hit men, Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winfield (Samuel L. Jackson) accidentally shoot their informant Marvin in the face while driving, "The Wolf" is called in take charge of the situation. Under "The Wolf's" direction, the car is meticulously cleaned, the body is hidden in the trunk, and their bloody clothes are disposed of. "The Wolf" has taken care of everything in a timely manner.

While there's no murder scene to be cleansed, Texas Governor Rick Perry's campaign is shot full of holes. His poll numbers are down, his debate performances were wretched, his credibility is shot, and his re-birthing of the birther card displayed continued poor judgment. His newly unveiled economic plan is a Forbesian rehash. For Team Perry and his billionaire backers, it's time to call in the big guns.

1. Albaugh has a great sense of timing

He bailed on FEMA right before Katrina, leaving that cluster to Heckuva Job Brownie, and now he's parachuting in to Goodhair's campaign as it swirls the drain. Which means if he resurrects it he gets the credit and if it goes down it's Perry's fault anyway.

2. He will teach Perry how to do a more efficient job of burning down Texas next summer. nt
