For Rick Perry, shutting down the government wasn’t enough.  No, sireee.

In an interview that aired on ABC’s This Week, Perry insisted to reporter Jeff Zeleny that he “certainly enjoyed” Cruz’ 21-hour Senate speech attempting to defund the Affordable Care Act.

NOT Clark Kent

I think he especially enjoyed the Dr. Seuss part, the only thing he understood.

But Rick Perry, a man with a plan, has his solution.

“It would have been wiser for us to have laid the wood to the president — so to speak — in the sense of being able to call him out on this, let it become an issue of, ‘Mr. President, you own this,’” Perry explained.

Yeah, nobody even mention the President’s name when talking about the Affordable Care Act.  No, wait.  Maybe I have that wrong.

“Laid the wood to the president”?  Well, I suspect Rick Perry could just headbutt the president and accomplish that.

Thanks to TexasTrailerParkTrash for the heads up.
