Just as the fun in the Texas Lt. Governor’s race is about to end, Rick Perry and Ted Cruz have decided to start the battle of “Which Dope From Texas Gets To Run For President”.

It’s gonna be fun.

Cruz threw the first witch slap.  You know how Rick Perry has been strutting around the country saying he’s totally responsible for Texas’ booming economy?

Sen. Ted Cruz says Rick Perry has been an effective leader, but dismissed the idea that Perry is responsible for a booming economy that has created more than 1 million jobs since he’s been governor.

Asked Friday about Perry’s job-creation message, Cruz said he’s been a good governor. But he added, “There isn’t a politician in this country who’s responsible for the economic growth we have. The economic growth has come from the private sector, it’s come from entrepreneurs. Nothing drives me crazier than politicians who run around talking about the jobs they’ve created. Politicians are very good at killing jobs, but they don’t create jobs.”

Bam!  Rick Perry kills jobs.

So what Cruz is saying is that anarchy creates jobs. Yeah, what this country needs are more robber barons, bygawd!

Y’all, don’t you think that one set of brawling Republican white men should have to stop fighting before another set can start? Cripes, I need a damn score card to keep up with all this.

And John put in this visual of Texas politics.
