ANITA PERRY<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison may have given her likely chief Republican gubernatorial opponent next year some campaign ammo.<\/p>\n

Hutchison came to West Texas A&M University this week to promote a federal grant to help WT pay for redeveloping a former hospital into research and development offices. But, durn it, she referred to the school several times by its former name, West Texas State University.<\/p>\n

Oops …<\/p>\n

If we fast-forward to, say, January 2010, we can imagine Texas first lady Anita Perry — who graduated with a nursing degree from WT before it joined the A&M System — speaking to a rally at the Courthouse Square while campaigning for her husband, Gov. Rick Perry.<\/p>\n

“I’m so happy to be here with you, my people,” Mrs. Perry might say. “And y’all can rest assured, I know<\/em> the name of West Texas A&M University, unlike my husband’s opponent. Go Buffs!”<\/p>\n

Could the campaign get so cheap and cheesy as to lampoon Hutchison’s relatively minor faux pas?<\/p>\n

Ummm. Yes it could.<\/p>\n\n
