Meeting of the Minds Re: Influx of Kids from Central America

Perry on CNN - Being Held to Account for His Own Words

CNN host Kate Bolduan confronted Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) in an interview that aired recently about his suggestion that President Barack Obama may have engineered the current immigration crisis at the Texas border.

His story line: "We either have an incredibly inept administration, or they're in on this somehow or another. (Perry had said on ABC's "This Week) "I mean I hate to be conspiratorial, but I mean how do you move that many people from Central America across Mexico and then into the United States without there being a fairly coordinated effort?

CNN's Bolduan then asked Perry to re-evaluate his statement in the wake of his meeting with President Obama in Austin: "Do you really honestly believe, as you said in that interview last month, that the administration might be in on this somehow? I mean, you're suggesting there's some kind of conspiracy here." 

Perry was quick to say: "No. What I'm suggesting is that this administration and their words and their actions, or the lack thereof, are part of the problem. I think you're putting the words of conspiracy in my mouth, which I did not say." 

CNN's Bolduan retorted: "No, you actually did say the words I hate to be conspiratorial."  

Perry again tap danced: "And I hate to be conspiratorial, I hate to be conspiratorial. I did not say I was conspiratorial." 

Oh, boy ... a classic Texas two-step I'm a guessin' ...
