I Could Get Drunk, Stoned, and High on Sniffing Mimeograph Paper But I Still Couldn’t Make This Up
Oh Rick Perry, you are the answer to my dreams.
Rick Perry’s interview in The Atlantic, where he gives a 3,000 word summery of why he wears glasses and that’s the “long story short” version, is a wealth of crap I did not want to know about anybody, much less Rick Perry.
But, the best?
He met with South Carolina’s Rep. Mick Mulvaney and his wife, Pam. The discussion turned to “the uncomfortably stiff cowboy boots Pam is sporting, custom made from a gator she shot while in Louisiana.” Then things got weird.
Next thing you know, one of Pam’s boots is off her foot and in the governor’s hands. (Perry himself has sworn off cowboy boots in deference to his temperamental spine.) Perry flexes the sole, then sticks his face down inside the shiny black footwear and inhales deeply. “I just love the smell of new leather!” he announces happily. He pauses, looks over at me, and asks, “This is going to wind up in your piece, isn’t it? ‘He likes to sniff women’s shoes!'” The governor chuckles, then resumes his discussion with Pam about the best way to break in boots. (Short answer: You just gotta wear ’em.)
Oh, he’s just made for fun.
Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.
OK, that was just TMI.
Please pass the brain bleach.
1So he’s gone from weird to downright strange.
2Okay, everybody’s got some weird stuff that they do. But to do it in public, in front of a journalist, means that you have no sense and should not be put in charge of things like states.
3I would never suspect Rick of liking to sniff women’s shoes.
Men’s, maybe.
4Media savviness. A bit too late.
Story of today’s GOP.
5But he’s not gay. No, no, not gay..
6I knew that you could not pass this up
7I do hope Governor pRick’s next job involves repeatedly asking “Would you like fries with that?”
8He reads the Bible at night, sniffs women’s shoes by day and hunts little children with guns. Now there’s the profile the American people want for their leader.
9Hey! He’s the GUVNER. He kin do what he wants to do. After all, he can just charge it to us.
10I’m hearing Nancy Sinatra in my head, paraphrasing, “These boots were made for runnin’……”
Start runnin’ boots!

12Wait a minute! I’m definitely reminded of what I learned in my grad school psych classes about men who sniff women
13s shoes. Its called a damn fetish! pRick is a fetishist by his own admission, “I just love the smell of new leather.” Yeah, right. That’s one thin cover story, pRicky!
