Serial heckling on health care disrupts Perry speech

Gov. Rick Perry was trying to address the Governor’s Small Business Forum — it was named for him, afterall — but he kept getting interrupted.

“Expand health care now!!” one woman rose and began yelling.

Perry waited until she repeated it about a dozen times. Then he said, “I gotcha.”

She sat down and Perry couldn’t get two more minutes into his speech before another protester rose and began chanting.
