Perry was conciliatory toward the former president, going out of his way in his brief remarks near the end of the 2½ hour gala to laud Bush’s “remarkable record of defending life,” as governor and president.
“There is no way to tell how many lives were protected by his fearless pro-life efforts,” Perry said, citing Bush’s enforcement of the Mexico City Accords, support for a ban on late-term “partial-birth” abortion, and “rebuke of embryonic stem-cell researchers.”
Neither gubernatorial candidate was on the program and attendees were unaware of their presence until evening was almost over. An emcee introduced Hutchison and other VIPs at the end of the program, but mangled her name as “Sen. Kailey Bay Hutchison.” She received polite applause.
The crowd was outright enthusiastic as Perry touted state efforts to ban the use of public funds for abortion, and to require parental notification when Texas teens seek to end a pregnancy.

More insult to injury... Kailey Bay Hutchison...
The pro choice Kay cancelled an event and seemed to crash a pro life event last night where Rick and George W. Bush spoke... and it wasn't pretty for her (link). Excerpt follows...
According to the blogs, there had been some behind the scenes jockeying... and Kay's peeps told reporters Rick was not going to speak... but he did speak... so... why would Jennifer Baker pick a fight on that point? Another strange communications move... kind of petty really... and why cancel some other event so she could go to this pro life event? Was she really that worried that George W. Bush and Rick would buddy up and conspire against her? I mean... come on...
Kailey Bay Hutchison... that is just insult to injury... she didn't get to speak... she had to listen to Rick speak... she got weak applause when they mangled her name... she didn't get to buddy up with Bush... Rick got enthusiastic applause... what a disaster for her...

Hey now, campaign characters. Be nice. I know a lot of you on both sides, so I don't want any overly foul language, personal attacks on anyone other than the candidates themselves, or other party fouls. I will moderate the heck out of you if you start breaking the bounds of civility.
