Perry Criticized for Not Wearing Cowboy Boots

Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson (R) told the Austin American Stateman that Gov. Rick Perry’s (R) decision, based on back pain, to stop wearing cowboy boots was just a “feeble excuse.”

Said Patterson: “Tell Rick that boots can be purchased with normal heels. I lament the fact that our governor could now pass for a West Coast metrosexual and has embarrassed us all with his sartorial change of direction.”
