I Give Up. I Give The Hell Up.
Rick Perry, y’all. The boy is sick. Something is wrong with that boy.
He has taken to the airwaves to blast Khizr Khan for daring to speak against Donald Trump. Prepared your insides for this one.
Former Gov. Rick Perry is defending Donald Trump’s war of words with the family of a fallen Muslim soldier, saying the father “struck the first blow” against the Republican presidential nominee and is not above criticism in return.
“In a campaign, if you’re going to go out and think that you can take a shot at somebody and not have incoming coming back at you, shame on you,” Perry said in an interview Tuesday on CNN.
Where the hell has Rick Perry been since Trump behaved like a brute about this? This was the turning point in Trump’s downfall. And now, now!, Rick Perry is picking up the ball and reminding everyone what hateful, idiotic people that Republicans are because, you know, without Rick Perry to remind us, we might forget.
Perry got it backasswards, as usual. Trump wants to say outrageous things but nobody better “have incoming”. Trump can dish it out but he sure can’t take it. And by the damn way, not that it really matters a whole helluva a lot, but Trump threw the first punch by wanting to keep Muslims from coming to America.
It’s Rick in Wonderdamnland.
On Tuesday, Perry made clear he saw Khizr Khan as fair game. He insisted he admires veterans and their families, but said the patriarch “politically used his time on that stage to go after Donald Trump.”
Was Perry drunk the night that the woman who lost her son in Benghazi called Hillary Clinton a murderer? Nobody called her names because she has a right to her opinion.
I am dumbfounded. Why would they keep up a fight they have clearly lost? Rick, shuddup. You are not getting a job in the Trump administration because there’s not going to be a Trump administration.
Good Lord, even Greg Abbott came to the defense of Mr. Khan.
Oh, Rick. Oh bless your cowboy heart. You got kicked in the head at your last rodeo, son.
How long did it go take Governor Duh! to figure out Mr. Khan had handed Hair Drumpf his balls on a platter, already grilled. Perry has got to take the cake for world class stupid. And to think Republicans were dumb enough to think he had the chops to be President. It truly is frightening.
1And here is what that great mind, Carl Paladino said:
“Allowing himself to be so controlled by Hillary that he would dishonor the memory of his heroic son shows the man’s lack of character and backbone,” Paladino said of Khan. “I am certain that most Gold Star parents would despise Mr Kahn’s [sic] attempt to politicize his son’s loss. Hillary should be ashamed and pillaged for encouraging the Kahn’s [sic] to so tragically make fools of themselves.”
Let’s see, spelling the man’s name wrong. Check.
Using the word “pillaged” (robbing, plundering) when he meant “pilloried” (putting up to ridicule). Check-a-roony.
I thought the GOP was trying to put this issue behind them. With friends like Paladino and Perry, who needs enemies?
2Would somebody kindly take that jug away from Ricky boy? He is making an even worse ass of hisownself than usual.
3Sweet Jesus … I don’t know how you folks survive TX … SMH
4Reminds me of a joke a friend pulled on a jerk.
Friend: Here, have a tissue.
5Jerk: What for?
Friend: You’ve got some shit on your nose.
Jerk: (Wiping nose.)
Friend: That’s what happens when you’ve got your head up ass.
TexasTrailerParkTrash, it’s Carl flinging more poo. He’s very good at it, when he isn’t sending racist emails or sharing bestial pornography. And people put him on the Buffalo School Board. Personally, I don’t want him anywhere near children.
6Don’t you love it when there’s an issue Republicans can’t win, except if people forget about it, but they keep talking, and talking, and talking about it…
Must be why zombie movies and TV shows are so popular. People can’t look away from the walking, or in Trump’s case, the talking dead. As of today, he’s down to a 10% chance of winning the election.
7I
uh…..
I got nothin’
WTF?
8Hay Rick—Just say Opps and crawl back under the rock you live under. If you ever run for anything again, this will come back and bite you in your back side. I only hope that Drumpf takes all of the Ricks down with him.
9Good one JAKvirginia!
10Dear Gov. Perry,
You have sacrificed nothing, and no one…
except your oop-ass mind!
11Yes, there’s a reason I still refer to him as “Gooberner Oops”. Heh.
@Ed Cooper: How long will it take? Good question. Obviously, he STILL hasn’t figured it out yet.
@TexasTrailerParkTrash: “Using the word “pillaged” (robbing, plundering) when he meant “pilloried” (putting up to ridicule).” Objection: assuming facts not in evidence. I mean, I’d like to think you’re probably correct here, but we ARE talking about a Rape-Public-CON, after all. I like to say they’re like a social disease… it hurts when you GoPee!

Definition of stupidity.
Doing the same thing, over and over and expecting a different result.
Rick Perry is stupid.
13Well, I have a different take on this. Wasn’t Ricky an avowed Never Trump person, or tried to gather support in that regard. Now, I think that he’s just saying this stupid stuff to rile everyone up against Trump. Evil genius perhaps! And getting Paladino to trowel in on even heavier. Hmmmmm?
14Actually, I’m confusing Perry with that other idiot in Utah. Nevermind (as Rosanna Danna would say.)
15Rick Perry is obviously not taking his meds. And probably was kicked in the head by a large rodeo bull. Is there something in the water, maybe from all the fracking, that makes the republicans in Texas more stupid than other states?
16Rick has the grade school level response…”He started it”.
17I can offer one possible explanation.
Perry hasn’t been getting enough camera and microphone time lately, and he’s immature enough to think that any publicity, even if it emphasizes what an idiot you are, is better than none. It’s a mild case of what Trump suffers from in world-class proportions.
We’ll probably hear from Palin next, for the same reason.
18I’d like to say the same thing miemaw said.
19@ Tilphousia: Rick Perry was kicked in the head by a large rodeo bull? Is the bull’s hoof OK? Rick’s head, after all, is 11 on the Mohs scale (Diamonds are 10)…

20Debbo that would be plagiarism. w/o an attribution. 🙂
Drumpf has asked his pack of rabid animals to go after the press.
Snowdrift Snookie is spouting the leading cause of deaths for Blacks is abortion. There are a number of far right -La-La Land outfits spreading caca del toro about a majority of PP clinics are in poor black neighborhoods and Dems are systematically aborting black fetuses. etc.
21Keep talking, Rick, all the way to the election, or whenever Trump drops out. Remind everybody what a jerk you and the Republican candidate are. I’m with Napoleon, who had something to say about times like this: “Never interrupt your enemy while he is making a mistake.”
22Then there is this little article- A letter sent by FBI Acting Assistant Director Jason Herring to the House Oversight Committee confirms that the three emails media is making such hay over did not originate with Secretary Clinton, nor was the use of the term “extremely careless” meant to establish some mythical standard of conduct which did not exist before Director Comey’s statement.
See how long it takes before wingnuts ignore this one.
23I’m afraid Perry has missed the boat (the Titanic, I suspect). Compared to Christie’s champion job of orange-nosing, Perry’s is just a pale peach.
24Perry is confirming what we already knew, and he’s been doing it for a long time. He’s dumber than a bag of hammers, as useful as a screen door on a submarine, and five quarters short of a buck.
25those glasses do not make him look smart. no, not at all.
26I think Marcia would agree when I say we tend to have pretty good governors here in Colorado. We’ve had some wildly incompetent guys run but they don’t make the finish line. In recent decades we usually have had Democrats. One Republican I couldn’t stand was not incompetent, just wrong a lot.
27Where do Texans find these ninnies to occupy the goober’s house?
Bush, Perry, Abbott. Really?
Our country is 19 trillion in debt because of the irresponsible, unconstitutional, and unpatriotic willingness by Republicans and Democrats to spend this country into a Bolivian.
More dumb stuff spouted by wingnuts. This one compliments of former South Dakota state sinator, Stace Nelson. He is running for senate again,btw.
28Juanita Jean, my darling. My Goddess. My all.
29This is Rick Perry. This is a man who makes a bottle of Elmer’s Glue look sentient. Are you REALLY surprised?
But the BEST NEW THING in the world today is the breaking news that Trump has hired the head of Breitbart to run his campaign. Yes, nothing like bats**t crazy conspiracy theories to expand that base, Donald. Why doesn’t the baby-fingered little dictator just start wearing his jackboots and jodhpurs in public now, instead of just at night for Melania’s entertainment?
I’ve only been in CO since August 2004, so I’ve not known many Governors of CO … in fact … tomorrow I’ve been here exactly 12 years!! I don’t pay a lot of attention to the Governors.
30Please, don’t give up. Things are looking up in Texas as the Texas Repubs become national laughingstocks.
31Speaking of conspiracy theories… I can actually see this being the scenario. Trump gets told NEVER to talk about Khan’s again. Trump angry because he can no longer counter punch. Trump suggests to others (like I’m-dumb-as-a-post Perry) to take up the counter punching for him.
Of course, they are both idiots not to let this just not be in the news.
I can also see Perry deciding to undermine Trump while seeming to support him by keeping the Khan story, that most say was the turning point, alive. Of course, that credits Perry with more smarts than I think he is capable of.
32Happened to catch him in full throttle. He followed that up by saying only Republicans nationwide were trying to reform the justice system. Really, Rick, really? The CNN host just let him ramble on.
33Right you are, Dominic P. Lucarelli. Now that T-rump has aligned with Breitbart’s Bannon, look for even more hateful and outrageous pronouncements from Drumpf and his surrogates. The whole “pivoting presidential” ploy is over. Back to the “I gotta be me” strategy, full force. Prick Perry is just one of Scump’s minions to be used to further the cause. Have to laugh at the hypocrisy of RKlan leaders who act as if Dump’s attitudes aren’t just what they have been encouraging for years.
34New study out shows that Trump’s angry supporters mostly have jobs and are not poor. Their anger is bigotry pure and simple.
A day late and a dollar short.
35maryelle, it appears that Trump is pivoting. To the far right.
Odd strategy for the general election and a good indicator of how effective he’d be as President.
36Oh no, no, no!
Rick Perry, DO NOT listen to JJ! As much as I admire her, I have to disagree with her on this point! Continue to stick your fingers in your ears and chant, “Lalalalalalala!”
And, above all, DO NOT SHUDDUP! Just keep talking. Between you and Trump, the mission to save the nation from disaster is well underway. Continue to do your bit. There’s a good boy.
37Ah well, you know our little Rickey. He has trouble remembering three things and this was apparently to complicated for his little brain. I would love to see him challenge Crud for his senate seat. I would buy a ticket to that.
38Here’s a thought. Is it too early to consider a celebration party for Hillary? I was thinking Lafayette Park, across Penn. Ave. from the WH on the night she wins. Maybe if we’re loud enough we can get Bamz and Michelle to do a walk over?
Yeah… I know I’m dreaming… but this election crap with Drumpf is a downer. I need some happy thoughts.
39What was that W. C. Fields movie where Fields, playing a bartender, talks about how tough he is on misbehaving people. He turns to his fellow bartender,
“Remember that night I knocked down Dangerous Sally?”
“I knocked her down,” his colleague replies.
“Oh, yes . . . but I started kicking her first!” Fields points out.
Perry told a touching story about looking out for an ex-soldier in need, in his own GOP convention speech.
Now he’s kicking soldiers generally. He’s forgotten his own good intentions.
If Rick Perry were my brother, I’d have him examined for brain damage. But I wouldn’t start kicking him, even though he’s already down.
40In that same speck where governor good hair defended Trump he said that when governor he worked to get people convicted of minor drug problems out of jail and change the laws about drug use. Did I miss something? When did he do this and how?
