We were trying to get the governor to give us details about his education plan. He's releasing it today, and he didn't want to give out details a day early.
"You'll have to wait until tomorrow. I hate to let you guys in on it and no one else," Gov. Perry insisted.
So we said goodbye, thank you and thought the interview was over.
"You're welcome," Gov. Perry signed off. "So long."
Our questions were not recorded on tape, but in saying goodbye I told the governor, "Try as I may, Governor, I guess I can't win this one."
Eleven seconds after he said goodbye, the camera crew was getting ready for the next interview with another station. That's when Gov. Perry repeated what he thought I'd said, and added a few words of his own with his microphone on and tape still rolling.
"Try as I may, Governor, I'm not going to wait that long," Gov. Perry said. "Adios, Mofo."
