Perry Says Supreme Court ‘Taking The Appropriate Path’ In Stopping Execution, Even Though He Was Set To Allow It | ThinkProgress.
I would say, what an idiot, but this kind of callousness about human life is more than stupidity. It is something about basic cruelty.

To a degree, I also blame the political rhetoric of "flip-flopping." With Bush II, we saw this refusal to change course, admit mistake, or change strategy in the face of new and better information. That is seeded in a couple of things, one of which is a political refusal to look weak. And weakness, in part, is defined by political platforms and the media as flip-flopping. Better to have "always believed one way" or "always act in one way" than to grow up and change one's mind. That weak-kneed changing of one's mind in the face of better information is just flip-flopping better left for hippie liberals. Make a decision, dad-gummit, and stick to it right or wrong. That's the American way!
