Speaking on Behalf of People Everywhere Who Love To Laugh …
Rick Perry has made it official.
He’s gonna do it.
Hot damn on a sizzling platter, the man is gonna run for President.
He has, of course, three reasons: (1) He’s rested, (2) He’s ready, and (3) Oops, he’s ready to make a fool of himself again.
.
Thanks to Sharon for the heads up.
This could have an upside, if it means he won’t run for governor again. The rest of the nation has his number, so he won’t get the GOP nomination, much less elected. But I despair of my fellow Texans when it comes to this idiot, so anything that gets him out of Austin permanently is a good thing.
1He reportedly has been going into the bathroom to practice his singing.
2My cheeks hurt already.
Pure comedy gold.
3The biggest Aggie joke ever?
Rick Perry
4Perry’s announcement will convince millions of secular progressives that (1) there is, in fact, a God, and (2) She has a sense of humor.
5Tony: I had dinner the other night with a childhood friend who graduated from A&M with both Rick Perry and Louie Gohmert.
He apologies.
6Louie graduated??????
7I’d better keep this car in good shape through the next round of primaries in 2015 — it has the Molly Ivins quote about someone from Texas in a prominent location.
8I almost fell out of my chair when I read the words “Louie Gohmert” and “graduated” in the same sentence…really? I didn’t know A&M had a Clown College.
As for Pretty Ricky running for Prez:
1) This country could use a few laughs; The Corndog Whisperer has goofy down to a science, and
2) anything that keeps him out of the state for a while isn’t a bad thing.
9Kellybee…#2 costs us money for his protection……
10Clown College explains a lot…..hehehehehehehehe
Oh, Boy! Time to pop some corn!
11He must make money somehow. I’m sure he knows he can’t win, but must keep running because it is profitable?
12Here’s the deal with R Perry, he has to run for President, because if he does not he will no longer be able to live on the government teat and would have to get a real job and you know those hair products are not going to buy themselves.
The man who told government workers to quit their jobs and go to work in the private sector needs to take his own advice and skeeeeeedaddle!
Now go on and get off my lawn Rick you killing the grass.
13Somewhere in Texas, a man is practicing to remember his list of 4 things. He knows he can do better next time. If he can just remember all 4 things.
14I am already looking forward to the 2016 Republican Presidential primaries since it is clear they will be a worthy sequel to the last one. We gotta love us some reality tv.
15The next Republican presidential primary should just about finish things for them. You throw Cruz, Bachmann, Paul, Rubio and Santorum in with Perry and let them try to out-crazy each other. Heck, Herman Cain might just show up for old times sake. Let us savor that scenario.
16It’s official.
I have a gig for life!
Tommy
17Juanita, check out the contributor.com for the article where Rick now blames illegal immigrants for the prosecutor murders in Texas
18Rickie, baby, you must be aware of why your folks want you to keep taking your meds!
19I want to feel encouraged that the Republicans are going to implode, but I keep thinking of the saying: “It is impossible to make anything foolproof, because fools are so ingenious.”
But I agree – it should be quite a show!
20@Olden Grey and djw: Rick graduated, too?!
21A die hard Republican woman I’ve known for 50+ years said to me the other day, “I hope a good Republican or Democrat, or anybody else runs for governor next time because there’s no way I’d vote for Perry again.” She’s not much of an original thinker, so it made me think that there are probably a lot of Republicans feeling the same way.
If Texas Republicans won’t vote for him to be governor again, why would they vote for him to be president?
22KellyBee – I cannot stop laughing at “Corndog Whisperer”. You get the nobel peace prize for being catchy and clever.
23Perry called Texas the “epicenter of economic development.”
That must be why Kim Jong Un has his sights set on Austin.
Just to be clear, Perry is “leaving the door open” for a presidential run.
24I’ll bet there will be many a phone call telling him to shut that door and lock it.
You Texans are having so much fun with Rick that I just want to ask:
Aren’t we all sick and TIRED of people– ANY people– running for President? In November 2011 I wanted to lie down with a cold compress on my forehead when I realized that we had another whole YEAR of this garbage to live through. Now I know that they have to raise gooberbillions of bucks to have any chance at tormenting us all with their ads for years on end, but could we PLEASE have a rest for a while…? I don’t even want to hear about Hillary Clinton running for president for at least two and a half more years.
25YES! What Rhea said.
26Double yeah for what Rhea said and please pass the cold compress.

For all his shortcomings — and they are many and diverse — Rick Perry has always benefited from the fact that every one of his opponents in the general election had (D) beside their names on the ballot. That’s all he’s got, and all he ever had. In Texas, that’s mostly been enough.
28Living here in Northern Foreign parts, about 30 miles south of the Quebec border and an hour and a half drive to Montreal, I know my Cirque du Soleil and I suspect the GOP is in completion with them, what else explains this strange behavior and all the clowns???
