Following Texas governor Rick Perry's grand jury  indictment yesterday, even David Axelrod cast significant doubts on the merits.

Perry, a Republican, was indicted for  actions he took allegedly to coerce a resignation from District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, a Democrat, after her  DUI.

This morning Axelrod  tweeted:

Unless he was demonstrably trying to scrap the ethics unit for other than his stated reason, Perry indictment seems pretty sketchy.
