(Oct 13, 2011) Fox News: Attorneys for republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann have filed a complaint with the Republican National Committee, charging that Texas Governor Rick Perry engaged in “unethical and possibly illegal medical abuse” before the most recent debate.

“We have solid evidence of abuse,” said Bachmann spokesman Arthur Burns, on the candidate's official website. ( http://www.michelebachmann.com / ) This alleged evidence includes photographs of a man identified as Dr. Murray Conrad, seen delivering a supply of chlorpromazine to Rick Perry's dressing room an hour before the Dartmouth College debate. “Chlorpromazine, more commonly known as thorazine, is a medication primary associated with the treatment of severe mental illnesses,” said Attorney Burns. “It is also used, in smaller doses, to reduce anxiety and nervousness before major surgeries. The remarkably flat affect of Governor Perry on stage in Hanover suggests that he had either consumed a massive quantity of chlorpromazine, or been subjected to a lobotomy. We are demanding that the RNC investigate fully. We are also considering filing a joint complaint with several other republican candidates, who have expressed concern with Rick Perry's behavior.”

The Bachmann campaign refused to identify which other campaigns had been involved in the discussions about Governor Perry. Fox News sources have unconfirmed reports that former Ambassador Jon Huntsman told his advisors after the debate that he had experienced difficulty in concentrating, due to Perry's “incessant humming while other's were speaking.” Fox News sources have confirmed that Gov. Perry was heard sing “I'm a Believer,” a song by the 1960s acid rock group The Monkees, after the debate.

The Perry Campaign has refused to comment on this story at this point.
