Okay, so what do you call a man who grew up with a single mother, spent time on food stamps, and was mostly raised by middle class grandparents?  According to Rick Perry, that’s “privileged.” And, thankfully, people laughed at him for saying it.

(And I just want to add one thing here.  I would like for Rick Perry to have to live for one day as a black man in America.  You know, out where N-head rock is.  Just one day to see what a privileged that is.)

And what do you have to do to make the President of the United States of America look bad?  You have to take his words out of context.  And, thankfully, the media called Rick Perry on it.

And, thankfully, Nancy Pelosi replied to Rick Perry’s strangely odd request for a debate with her by saying —

“Monday I’m going to be in Portland in the morning. I’m going to be visiting some of our labs in California in the afternoon. That’s two,” Pelosi told reporters. “I can’t remember what the third thing is I’m going to be doing.”

I love Nancy.  I do.

Thanks to Angela, Kathleen, and Henry for the heads-up.
