A regular customer sent me this 2011 article from Business Insider. I’m not sure what business they are inside but there is a mildly disturbing article about Rick Perry and his nickname. The article is entitled “Gross”. Yep.
If you go read it, you’re on your own. However, you might want to remember this as his campaign slogan during his presidential run. Here’s the picture they’re talking about.
Thanks to Kristin for the heads up.
Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
The most interesting thing to me about the article is that what Perry and his supporters were “saying” with the crotch shots and what liberals were hearing were two different things. The guy they quote in the article says that a liberal female friend asked him “do you think Perry is stuffing his pants with socks?” and his response was “we are getting under their skin!” To me as a woman I think Perry and his supporters are rather…off? The liberal female friend is basically saying “you and your candidate are fake, to me, his masculiity and his politics are as fake as the socks.” But Perry and his supporters hear “I’ve really convinced them I’ve got a big d–.” They are and always will be completely tone deaf and convinced that fakery and chest thumping are good enough for the voters, who are too stupid to know the difference between a sock and real sex.
1My eyes!
2I cannot unsee or unread this.
Oooh. Yuk. Creepy. Another reason NOT to hang out around Perry’s office.
3So Perry says to some strange woman,”If you can guess what I have in my hand,I will let you have it.” She says,”if you can hold it in one hand I’m not interested.” Poor Perry,shot out of the saddle without getting a foot in the stirrups. Reporter forgot to ask if Perry’s favorite horse is stump broke.
4Seems those who referred to him as “Ick” were either prescient or had long – uh – memories.
5I remember that shot – I worked for the Land Office back when I was in law school, and Perry was, alas, right next door.
The sock comment reminds me of my days as a ballet dancer, when we speculated that the more obnoxious guys in the company were padding their jocks. A mildly offensive guy was a one-socker; a thoroughly offensive guy was a two-socker. Rick Perry is a three-socker.
6Ok, between the article and e p onion, I’m done! Need to bleach my brain again 😛
7I so wish I hadn’t looked.
8I remember when Bush landed on the aircraft carrier and declared mission accomplished. I really look like he had some padding for his flight suit. Maybe Goodhair and Bush have the same idea as to what it takes to be elected
9Does Rick Perry own a big pick-up truck with a gun rack in the back window? That would belie the endowment rumors, wouldn’t it?

This article,while long,captures the essence of what Kyle says above. Even Rummy was being touted as a sex symbol.
11Dear Lord, I had to go ahead and read the article and see the pictures and I just about regurgitated my lunch! I’m with Stephanie in Arlington … I sooooo wish I hadn’t looked!!
Aggieland, you may have to buy stock in bleach!!
12G Zimmerman arrested again on domestic violence charges.
13animai: A very cogent observation about the Repugs’ penchant for misreading public reaction. Cases in point: Carl Rove’s on-air hissyfit regarding the presidential election results and the reaction, in particular, of the business community to the government shutdown. The whole Repug party has fallen victim to “Socks in the Crotch” syndrome.
14Where does the Tea Party and their unimaginably rich backers fit into all this? Just a few of them but dang it, they vote. And how are they going to respond to the Trans Pacific Partnership? Huh? I can’t get that out of MY mind.
15Luckily for me, the article didn’t want to show on my computer. Unluckily, perhaps, the picture and my imagination were enough for an upsetting image.
16:-O

dumbass dubya wants to practice his love with the military.
18I will never wear socks again.
19Dubya was definitely a three socker in that flight deck picture.
20I read the comments first and now I’m avoiding the article because I want to be able to close my eyes and sleep tonight.
21Debbie @15 “I will never wear socks again.”
I can certainly understand that.
22I don’t care what Rick Perry does or looks like, it’s all just junk with him. J-U-N-K.
23There it is. Perry’s old “Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy” photo. Ever notice how those chaps are wide open at the crotch? Bet his male office staff employees have. Best when they go out of town on trips with the boss that they never turn their backs on Quick Draw Ricky.
