And It’s Been Downhill Ever Since
Come to find out, George W Bush was not impressed with Rick Perry.
Former President George W. Bush didn’t have the best things to say about his Texas successor in the governor’s mansion when he called up Mitt Romney during the 2012 Republican presidential primaries, according to a new book.
“People thought I was dumb. Well, wait till you get a load of this guy,” Bush told Romney, now a Republican US Senator, about then-Texas Gov. Rick Perry, according to a rendition of the exchange in “Thank You for Your Servitude: Donald Trump’s Washington and the Price of Submission.”
And, Honey, it’s been downhill in Texas ever since. If Greg Abbott wins in November, we’ll have to go to Oklahoma to find our next governor.
Oh, I see he’s met Rick.
