SAN ANTONIO -- Gov. Rick Perry apologized to a Houston TV reporter Tuesday for a comment he made during a satellite interview.
KTRK reporter Ted Oberg was interviewing Perry on Monday about the governor's plan for school finance when Perry politely told the reporter he would have to wait until Tuesday for details about the plan.
"In saying goodbye, I told the governor, 'Try as I may, governor, I guess I can't win this one,'" Oberg said.About 10 seconds after Oberg and Perry said goodbye, the camera crew was getting ready for the next interview with another TV station when Perry, unaware that the camera was still rolling and his microphone still on, said, "Try as I may, governor, I'm not going to wait that long. Adios Mofo."The next day, Perry apologized to Oberg, saying his comment wasn't directed toward the station, and all he was doing was trying to get a reaction from the camera crew.
