Don’t you hate being the last to know?

Is Rick Perry telling foreign VIPs that he’s running for president before he’s even telling the voters of the Great State of Texas — and of Iowa and New Hampshire? Seems like it.

Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, who met privately last week with the governor, was on CNN’s The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer today saying it’s pretty much a done deal that Perry will run.

Musharraf.  Really?  He told Pervez Musharraf, a man who could not find Osama bin Laden or his own butt with both hands, GPS, and a bloodhound?

Musharraf?  Really?  He told Musharraf before he told us?  And taunted us with tweets about it?

And posed for pictures with him?

Dude, when you meet with foreign heads of state, tuck your damn shirt in.   You look like a doofus.

Look at Musharraf’s wife.  She gritting her teeth and wondering, “Damn, I hope we’re getting paid to pose with this uncouth buffoon.  What’s he hiding under that shirt?  His laser-sighted .380 Ruger coyote-killing pistol?  Who does he think he is?  Sonny Crockett in Miami Vice?”

We know exactly how you feel, Mrs. Musharraf.
