The Brief: Top Texas News for Dec. 21, 2011
The Big Conversation:
Gov. Rick Perry brought one of his most prominent supporters to Iowa on Tuesday, and he quickly proved his worth.
In the midst of his two-and-a-half-week, 40-plus-city Iowa bus tour, Perry stumped in Iowa on Tuesday with Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who endorsed Perry in September.
As the Tribune's Reeve Hamilton reported, Jindal nearly stole the spotlight from Perry when he came to the Texas governor's aid during a question-and-answer session with voters in Maquoketa.

Who ever called Bobby "Howdy Doody" Jindall prominent? Not to mention who ever heard of a politician needing a side kick around to answer questions directed to you? Oh, wait, I forgot about that famous team of The Imbecile and Shooter, previous White House inhabitants, getting questioned by US Attorney Fitzgerald about outing an active undercover CIA agent. Just can't forget about W and The Dick. Bad form.
