Sleazy political rumor of the week

This bizarre posting on the Austin Independent Media Center bulletin board alleges that the Republican governor of Texas -- Rick Perry, George Bush's replacement -- was discovered in flagrante with his male (but very weasly-looking) Secretary of State by the governor's wife, who, the story alleges, stormed out of the governor's mansion. Here's another version of the same rumor. Here's a raft of them. And there's already a bumper sticker!

There's nothing in the mainstream media about this, so it must be put down as merely a vicious rumor. But on Tuesday the Secty of State, one Geoffrey Connor, was rushed to the hospital for an emergency appendectomy. Very strange.
