(Robert) Black Day for Perry
Record-setting Kathy Walt is stepping out of the line of reporters’ fire.
Robert Black is taking her place as Perry’s state press secretary, Perry announced Monday.
Black was Perry’s campaign spokesman this year, where he amounted to a pit bull against Perry’s challengers. Black previously served as a deputy gubernatorial press secretary. In the political blogosphere, he might best be known as the aide who claimed to introduce Perry to the “mofo” descriptive. (Perry later employed “adios, mofo,” to say so long to a pesky TV reporter.)
Walt advances to become Perry’s special assistant for communications where Perry said Monday she’ll oversee communications efforts in several divisions of the office.
Ted Royer, who has been a speechwriter, will become deputy press secretary.
