Utilizing the law of averages and picking points at random, it's pretty clear thatl all the info in the link in the OP will prove true..You obviously dissed the article without fact checking. You can do the rest yourself...but I doubt that you will.

The next sex scandal involving one or multiple girlfriends or boyfriends could very well involve Rick Perry.
