James Carville, I think it was, commented that Rick Perry is stupid and he talks a lot, qualities Carville likes in Republican candidates.

Rick Perry eats bullets for breakfast and then shoots off his mouth the rest of the day.  Yesterday, Rick said of the Federal Reserve —

“If this guy prints more money between now and the election,” Perry said, “I don’t know what y’all would do to him in Iowa, but we — we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas. Printing more money to play politics at this particular time in American history is almost treacherous — or treasonous in my opinion.”

I’m from Texas so I do not see that as a physical threat.  Hell, we threaten to knock people upside the head all the time but it doesn’t mean a damn thing.  I agree with Tony Fratto, former deputy press secretary to George Dubya, that Perry’s remarks are unpresidential and inappropriate.  But, it wasn’t a death threat, for Pete’s sake. “Be still so I can laser sight you,” now that’s a threat.

However, the part about him mixing up treacherous and treasonous – that’s criminal.  It’s also a teaser of much upcoming linguistic fun.

So many of you sent me this picture that I felt the need to use it now before I forget.  Cute, ain’t it?
