Bwaahaha! Texas Gov. Perry Webcast with Supporters Sabotaged!

I thought everyone could use a good laugh - enjoy! :D

Countless locked out of Perry's Webcast

AUSTIN — Gov. Rick Perry was “Talkin' Texas” online Tuesday, but his campaign said “countless” Texans were prevented from logging on because the highly touted event was sabotaged with an onslaught of fake users.

Although some 22,000 people were able to log on, the focus on those who couldn't — and why — eclipsed Perry's message, including such controversy-stirring ideas as requiring a constitutional amendment before state taxes can be raised.

“This planned and coordinated attack was political sabotage, and we are working to identify those responsible for this illegal activity,” said campaign spokesman Mark Miner.

“What an embarrassing campaign launch,” said Jennifer Baker, spokeswoman for U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, who's challenging Perry for the GOP nod for governor. “I'm sure the governor is hacked, but we are skeptical their site was. After all, Rick Perry isn't exactly a stranger when it comes to arrogantly blaming others for his mistakes.”

1. "fake users" would most certainly be people that don't support
him, no?
However, since he is EVERYONE'S Governor...picking and choosing sycophants isn't allowed.
Wah Wah Wah!

3. That's what I though - wouldn't every Texan be invited?
Maybe KBH's posse was behind it. Reminiscent of something the Bushies/Rove would have done. :rofl:

5. Oh he will. Especially after Kay's spokeswoman said this:
“I'm sure the governor is hacked, but we are skeptical their site was."
