Texas Monthly blogger and columnist Paul Burka poses an interesting — but still ludicrous — question about Gov. Rick Perry.

Has the governor become too entangled in the University of Texas-Austin power struggle to have committed an impeachable offense?

What an amazing thing to wonder about the state of politics in this, of all the 50 states.

Burka’s blog post listed a couple of areas where Perry may have crossed the line into meddling in UT-Austin administrative affairs. Perry, let us remember, is a diehard Texas A&M Aggie — not that it should have anything to do with how he runs his office. However, in this world where conspiracy theories abound in all sorts of places, I suppose one could make the leap that Aggie Perry is trying to muck up the works at the hated UT.

The reality, though, is that Rick Perry never would be impeached in this state, which loves Republicans. Perry is one of them. Both houses of the Texas Legislature, which is where impeachment would originate, comprises supermajorities of Republican members.

What’s more, Perry is nearing the end of his tenure as governor. He’s not running for re-election to his umpteenth term next year. Instead, he’s bowing to likely prepare for yet another — and probably futile — bid for the presidency of the United States.

Impeachment in the cards? Hardly.
