Actual article in the Houston Chronicle.

Actual headline.

So if he speaks and doesn’t weewee in his pants or laugh hysterically at a ta-ta pun, he’s suddenly Cicero?

Dude, that right there is some of that “soft bigotry of low expectations.”

But, it certainly got Grover Norquist excited!

Grover Norquist, the influential conservative who serves as president of Americans for Tax Reform, thinks there are only six Republicans who can win the 2016 Republican nomination for president.

His list, which he told Business Insider in an approximately hour-long interview Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul.

Lookie here:  Bobby Jindal doesn’t walk on his tippy toes now, Chris Christie is still trying to bridge that ethics gap, people have forgotten all about that Bush family thing, nobody knows Scott Walker, and Rand Paul almost isn’t as crazy as his dad.  What does that leave you:  Rick Perry can read a speech!  Go Rick!

Did y’all know that the CPAC convention is being held in Gaylord National Resort in Maryland?

I dunno why I thought that was funny.  But, you know it is.

So Ann Coulter is sitting around one day thinking of mean, horrible things she has yet to say about Hispanics and her mind starts to wander … hummm … what is gross, demeaning, violent, hateful, and scares the crap outta women around the world?  Rape?  No, Hispanics!  That’s the ticket!

“This isn’t natural. You have, especially on places like my favorite network, for humor, is MSNBC — and you know, they’re sneering, ‘Oh, Republicans just have to get used to it, the country is changing.’ No, this isn’t a natural process. It’s like you’re being raped and the guy is telling you, ‘Sorry, my penis is in you. Nothing you can do about it.’ No, you’re raping me! There is nothing natural about it!”

Ya know, if Ann Coulter didn’t exist, the left would have to create her.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Well, they held a symposium on outreach to minority voters.

Lots of light, no thunder.

Y’all, they let Rick Perry speak at CPAC.

A fired-up Gov. Rick Perry, who’s considering another presidential bid, kicked off Friday morning with a rousing speech, declaring “It’s time for a little rebellion on the battlefield of ideas.”

That sounds real nice, but on the battlefield of ideas, Rick Perry doesn’t have any ammo.

Thanks to Old Mayfly for the heads up and John for the cool graphic.
