TX Gov Perry supports Tea Party's $1.6B cut to NASA

It just shows how out of touch Rick Perry is with reality. While he takes every opportunity to blast the Administration (along with Congressman Pete Olson) he forgets to launch his rhetoric at his own tea party. From Cosmos Magazine:
On July 13, the U.S House of Representative's Appropriations Committee approved a bill that will cut NASA's 2012 funding by US$1.6 billion and terminate all funding for the James Webb, which it states: "is billions of dollars over budget and plagued by poor management." 
And yet after the historic landing of the last Space Shuttle mission all Perry could do, besides try to find burger flipping jobs for the employees in his ever growing private sector, was to once again, blame the Administration. From ABC News:
In a sharply worded statement issued by the governor of Texas -- the state is home to the Johnson Space Center -- Perry charges that the Obama Administration “continues to lead federal agencies and programs astray, this time forcing NASA away from its original purpose of space exploration, and ignoring its groundbreaking past and enormous future potential.”
Teabaggers of NASA should be wondering which side Rick Perry is on.
