AUSTIN -- Gov. Rick Perry on Tuesday firmly rebuffed calls for a special session of the Legislature to deal with education funding and kept his options open to seek another term as governor and to pursue another presidential bid in 2016.
In an interview with the Star-Telegram, Perry also waved off any interest in a vice-presidential nod or being appointed to a post in a Republican administration. "I can't think of anything that would blast me out of here," Perry said, "but I could give them some good names" of potential appointees.
Perry reflected on his failed presidential bid, touched briefly on his political future and looked ahead to the 2013 legislative session. The interview in Perry's second-floor executive office in the state Capitol was one of several the governor conducted Tuesday in his first extensive sit-downs with Texas news media since ending his national campaign Jan. 19.

See TexasTowelie's thread DMN: Perry often out of office
He's pretty much on permanent vacation, but he's still drawing his salary and pension. Plus living large in his $10K a month, taxpayer paid for, gated mansion.
He's the kind of white collar public teat sucker you would want to wean off his benefits quickly!
How long we will have to keep paying Greg Abott to fill in for Ricke Prairie while Ricke is out wonder around
I mean Perry is back in the state. He may not be "in his office" but he's not traveling that I know of. Neither one of them works very hard at anything other than collecting public benefits from being a state office holder.
