Paging Politifact Texas... Bill White caught lying...

If Bill White doesn't get a "Pants on Fire" designation from PolitiFact Texas on this one, they should really be cited by the Texas Ethics Commission for failing to report a massive and elaborate in kind contribution...

If not Politifarce then maybe the Dallas Morning News will break out a few peppers on this...

The claim...

Bill White falsely claimed that Rick broke a campaign promise to donate pay raises to charity (link). Excerpt follows...
At yesterday's press conference, Democratic nominee for governor Bill White accused Perry of breaking his promise to refuse a pay raise passed by the Legislature. Another reporter told Bill White that Perry actually promised to donate the increase to charity. We called the Perry campaign yesterday to ask for clarification. Campaign press secretary Alejandro Garcia told LSR that Perry, in fact, donated the raise to three charities for 2007-08. The three charities are the Texas Association Against Sexual Assault, the March of Dimes, and the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.
Bill White... pants on fire.

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.
