You know, about twenty years ago, I wrote an editorial bemoaning the fact that politicians were campaigning as average Joes.  They’d say, “I’m not a politician.  I’m an average guy, just like you.”

Well, that might have been a good thing unless you considered that the “you” might be Tubby Brussard over at the bowling ally.  Tubby ain’t real bright but he does have the largest collection of velvet Elvis paintings over at Miss Millie’s Trailer Park and Bait Shop.

Well, my worst nightmare came true and we started electing people who proudly display their D in Animal Husbandry (which can’t be all that hard to learn since animals seem to have a unique understanding of hoochy-koochy just built in) and the fact that they went two five schools to get a degree and can’t name even one damn magazine she reads.  Hell, even Tubby can come up with Jugs Magazine.

And that’s how we ended up with Rick Perry and Sarah Palin.

I really hate to cause you waves of nausea this early in the morning, but Rick Perry is running for President and Sarah Palin is running for Senator.   And do you want to know why she wants to run?

“Ted Cruz needs reinforcements,” she said of the Texas freshman. “My political action committee [and] the people who I am close to and trust, we work together beating the bushes to find people who will run.”

And by beating the bushes, I don’t think she means Jeb’s son who is running for office in Texas, but I could be wrong.

Thanks to Brian for  the heads up.
