Just when you thought Goodhair was a total idiot....
He reaches new depths of incredible fucking stupidity that astonish even hardened cynics:

Gov. Rick Perry, a Republican who has made outreach to Christian conservatives a theme of his gubernatorial portfolio, thinks Texas public school students should be taught intelligent design along with evolutionary theory, his office said Thursday.

-snip-

Perry "supports the teaching of the theory of intelligent design," spokeswoman Kathy Walt said. "Texas schools teach the theory of evolution; intelligent design is a valid scientific theory, and he believes it should be taught as well."

She said elements of creationism are consistent with intelligent design and that teaching different theories is part of developing students' critical thinking skills.

-snip-

A December letter from Perry's office to a constituent that was obtained by the network states that it would be a "disservice to our children to teach them only on theory on the the origin of our existence without recognizing other scientific theories worth consideration."

2. How many millions did Dover, PA spend on ID?
Only to be smacked down in a big way by the court? Multiply that by every school district in Texas, and Perry is inviting a lot of money to be wasted in Texas. (As if he's not already doing that with special sessions, etc...)
