And It’s Been Downhill Ever Since

July 13, 2022 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

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.

    There’s a joke that goes something like: if a woman calls you ugly, she’s jealous. If a man calls you ugly, he’s insecure. But if a little kid calls you ugly … you’re ugly.

    We need to update it with the punch line: but if Dubya calls you dumb ….

    Compared to the other 2 of our last 3 Governators, Shrub IS the smart one.

    Frank, I disagree with you. Preston had Sharpstown stink on him. I’d say Anne Richards or Mark White.

    JJ, you reminded me of a joke I heard while living in Texas and had long forgotten!

    Did you hear about the Okie Aggie who, when he graduated, moved back to Oklahoma? He raised the average IQ of both states!

    Might need to change the graduate to be a Texan and the school to OU. 😉

    slipstream, that article has made my day. One guy kills a friend out noodling because the friend was going to leave him to be eaten by Bigfoot. And especially note that the ex-wife of the (alleged) killer described him as “just a good old country boy.”

    “He’s not just a news story. And he’s not just a Facebook joke,” she said. “He’s not any of those things. He’s so much deeper than that.”

    Lady, it’s his depth that makes him a joke. If that guy looks upward with a telescope, he just might be able to see the bottom of the barrel of society. If he was registered to vote, anyone here want to take bets on how he voted in 2020?

    In return, here’s another off-topic fun story. Remember the guy who had his home garage spray painted with BLM and atheist stuff, then set on fire?

    Surly: in the gentleman’s defense, I wouldn’t want to be eaten by Bigfoot either.
