Everybody in Texas has been wondering why we never hear from anybody about Rick Perry. Governor Goodhair has managed to fly under the Trump radar for longer than any other cabinet secretary. And, trust me on this, that ain’t because he’s smarter than all the rest of them. Y’all, I know these things. Even back when he was a Democrat I told people that Ole Rick is powerful cute and plenty friendly but he is not burdened with the energy it takes to have a triple digit IQ.
He recently up and decided that he’s moving on from his job as cabinet secretary of the Energy Department, a department that he wanted to abolish when he was running for president, and had his infamous “Oops!” about. Ya gotta wonder if he accomplished his mission of killing it, right?
Well, maybe. We just haven’t heard yet. What’s the status of these Office of Special Counsel and Department of Energy Inspector General investigations of Perry? Ya gotta wonder.
And add that Trump personally asked Perry if he’d take over as Homeland Security secretary but Perry, lover of camera facetime, declined and I am deeply grateful for that. I’m wondering what’s next on Perry’s dance card. You can bet it involves money and probably hunting and beer. Other than that, he doesn’t have much else to do.
Keep an eye on this one. I smell something weird here.
