AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry apologized Tuesday for using a vulgar expression that was captured on camera after a Houston TV interview.

Gov. Rick Perry chatted with lawmakers Tuesday on the floor of the House on the first day of a special session he called to address school finance.

After the interview was over and Mr. Perry had said you're welcome and so long, Mr. Oberg acknowledged that Mr. Perry had successfully maintained the secrecy of his plan for another day: "Try as I may, Governor, I guess I can't win this one."

Mr. Perry looked off camera and appeared to mock Mr. Oberg, saying: "Try as I may, governor, I'm just not going to wait that long. ... "

Then the governor added as a sign-off: "Adios, mo-fo."
