Hell hath no fury like a crony capitalist scorned. 

What did students, young people, moms, dads and teachers do to Texas governor-for-life Rick Perry (R) to deserve his attack on education in Texas and the University of Texas, one of the greatest universities in America?

Perry, who I predict will soon be retired-for-life from electoral politics, is a sterling example of why Texas is going to go blue, why Hillary Clinton could carry Texas in 2016, and why some Republicans call other Republicans "the party of stupid."

Perhaps no one in American politics has more invested in a single public policy issue than Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) does with immigration.

Rubio, perhaps following the White House move to use an executive order on the DREAM Act for children of illegal immigrants last year, made the conscious decision to shape events, not react to them.

The Jerusalem Post reports Monday that Knesset Member Moshe Feiglin (Likud) was barred from the Temple Mount holy site by an order from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

As Feiglin does on the 19th of every Hebrew month, he planned to pray at Temple Mount. He has been doing so monthly for the past 10 years. 

What did Hispanics do to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) to deserve such punitive treatment from him on immigration? What did Texans do to Cruz and Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) to deserve their deliberately keeping federal judgeship posts in Texas vacant for partisan reasons, as I stated in my last column?

Texas is indeed going blue. The only question is when. If Republicans sabotage immigration reform, Texas Democrats may not have to wait for a Hillary Clinton presidential campaign in 2016. Some leaders of the conservative movement and talk radio are mounting a campaign to defeat or destroy the immigration bill, acting in a way that suggests what some Republicans have called "the party of stupid."

The pictures today of five presidents together at the W. Bush library inspire something less than hope. 

The Wall Street Journal’s Peggy Noonan recalls that Obama is there as a reaction to Bush the Second. His Portrait of the Artist as a Crazy Old Man in the Bathtub today reaches the tabloids. (“It changed my life,” says the artist.) And something approaches that could even suggest sadness when Bill Clinton asks that Bush II paint him, Clinton the First,  in the nude. 

But W. was there in the first place because of the adolescent and squalid Clinton. Each man, starting from H.W, seems a step downward from the place of balance and orderliness. Possibly we saw the last of political style and grace when William F. Buckley, Jr. passed in 2008.

I wish the entire Bush family well and am pleased that the former presidents are sharing the opening of the Bush presidential library. But, as I wrote in my last column for The Hill calling for confirmation of all judicial nominations, it was President George W. Bush and Karl Rove who have corrupted American justice more than any president since Richard Nixon. The Bush presidency was a disastrous presidency that caused a range catastrophes, including the Iraq war, the budget deficit and the financial crash.

The latest attempt by House Republicans to exploit the death of Americans at Benghazi, a one-party congressional report, cost money at a time of high deficits.

Because the report was so partisan and political and did not even offer a pretense of bipartisanship, Republicans should reimburse taxpayers for the cost of this partisan waste of their money.

The Hill's A.B. Stoddard sits down with Pundits bloggers John Feehery and Peter Fenn to discuss what impact the Boston Marathon bombing will have on the gun control and immigration debates. 

Utah Sen. Mike Lee, like Kentucky’s Rand Paul and Texas’s Ted Cruz have added much to the discussion this past semester, but I would like to suggest they misunderstand their forum. As a business model, the Senate today should be looked at as a pirate ship where full and honest discussion is considered seditious and principled management models are eyed suspiciously as cloaking dissent.

In a speech to the Heritage Foundation on Monday, Lee said: “The single most important policy would be federalism,” which means making “as many decisions at the most local level as possible.”
