Gov. Perry withdraws 'unauthorized' Twitter post

[RandySF]

A message on Gov. Rick Perry’s official Twitter feed was removed Sunday, with an announcement that the post was unauthorized.
Shortly after the tweet referring to Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg’s drunken-driving arrest last year was posted, it was withdrawn.

“A tweet just went out from my account that was unauthorized. I do not condone the tweet and I have taken it down,” the later tweet said.

The governor’s office could not be reached for further comment.

The original tweet included an image of Lehmberg and drew a connection between her and Perry’s recent indictment on charges that he had threatened her politically.

Perry’s indictment stems from his eliminating $7.5 million in state funding last year for the Travis County Public Integrity Unit. The Republican governor did so after Lehmberg, a Democrat, rejected his calls to resign because of her DWI conviction.
