Just when you think Rick Perry cannot embarrass Texas any more than he already has, the boy opens his mouth and doesn’t know the number of people on the Supreme Court – even on the day when all of Texas is waiting for the Supreme Court to rule on redistricting – or Judge Sonya Sotomayor’s name.  There’s You Tubes, y’all, or I wouldn’t believe it myownself.

And he couldn’t remember where we were at war, either.

There’s a whole lot of stuff that you gotta know to be President.  But, apparently you do not need to know crap to be Texas Governor.

Meanwhile, Anita Perry has an answer for all this —  Jesus, of course.

“I pray for him to have strength and wisdom and for the right words to come out of his mouth and to be patient because we’re not on his timetable, we’re on God’s timetable.”

I’m real happy for you, Anita, and Imma let you finish, but Jesus had the best album this year.  No, no, no, Anita, you ain’t blaming this stuff on Jesus, Girl.

But, at least Anita did offer to help Rick.  She explained to the Christian Broadcasting Network —

“The right word might not come out of our mouths,” she said. “But if I could have remembered that word, I would have gone and put it in his mouth at that time.”

Well, I suspect worse things than that have been in Rick Perry’s mouth.

Come home, Rick.  I think Jesus and me are starting to take this personally.

Thanks to Irene, Bananas and Carl for the heads-up.
