He was locked in his room without food and water for long periods of time, and forced to eat his own shit and drink his own piss. None of which, of course, excuses his own terrible crime, but the execution of John Perry hardly seems a just end to an unjust cycle of destruction. And so, the Texas death machine moves forward. Perry is scheduled to be Bush's 150th in less than six years. This puts George W. Bush in a class all by himself.
Nobody even comes close.
Let's hear it for G.W. and the Texas death machine, and look forward to him doing more of the same, whether in his state or in Washington, D.C. very soon. Due to the Texas Supreme Court's liberal rulings, Bush was denied the record on Thursady. The Court decided that executing a retarded man may be considered cruel and unusual punishment after all. Nonetheless, despite this setback, Bush appears ripe to break the national record very soon.
