Rick Perry is Not Gay.
For the thousandth time, Rick Perry is not gay. Not gay. Not at all. Not even kinda. No gayo.
So it was just shocking, shocking I tell you, when Texas Land Commissioner and very sore loser Jerry Patterson indicated that there might be something amiss in Perry’s “sexual” department.
Jerry: a manly man
In an article about boots in the Austin American Statesman, Patterson mused …
Jerry Patterson: retired Marine, beloved state official, haberdashery expert.
He also noted boots are good for carrying knives, small guns, “unmentionables” or “a small flask, giving rise to BYIB (bring yours in boot).”
Well, apparently you can also carry a sharp stick in your boots. Our governor, Duh Perry, says he quit wearing boots because of his bad back.
“Tell Rick that boots can be purchased with normal heels,” he wrote. “I lament the fact that our governor could now pass for a West Coast metrosexual and has embarrassed us all with his sartorial change of direction.”
Yikes! Metrosexual. That’s just three alphabet letters away from … you know, what Perry is NOT.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
Being three days older than dirt, I remember when a young upstart came a knockin’ on the door of the large company I retired from seeking votes for his first run as gov. The ladies were all atwitter about the good looking Rick Perry and wonder whether he would smile at them or the fellow standing next to them. Is he or isn’t he has been a questions as long as I’ve heard his name.
1And for those of us on the gay side of the fence WE DON’T WANT HIM.
2Oops.
3Not to worry. Nobody will ever mistake him for a metrosexual until he learns to stand up straight and starts wearing pants the right length.
4You know, it wouldn’t make a clam’s bit of difference if he is. Except for being nasty about and discriminating against gay people. Other than that, he can love who he wants as far as I’m concerned, as long as it isn’t me.
5I also don’t care about his orientation, but as they say on those cop shows, “Little lie, big lie.” If he isn’t even truthful about who he is, how can anyone expect him to be honest about his political machinations and financial dealings (with taxpayer $$$) and suchlike?
6Last night I caught a Daily Show rerun I missed while abstaining from all things electronic while floating through the Grand Canyon. It was a hysterically funny piece about Rick Perry. Jon stole your line about the glasses NOT making him smarter, LOL. But as entertaining as Rick is, a Gov. Abbott would be round the bend humiliating for the Great State of Texas. Stocking up on popcorn…
7Gay Perry-not the one in France,Europe?
8Rhea-what if Perry held sincere,deeply religious beliefs that he is entitled to love who,what where and when he wants? If he incorporates hisownself,would the suckpreme court give him a pass?
9e platypus, I loved a cartoon about a woman incorporating her uterus so it would have more rights than she did.
As for Perry and everybody else of whatever orientation, I just don’t want them doing it in the street and frightening the horses. (But if holding hands and a quickie kiss is okay for straights, it should be okay for gays.)
10It’s the hypocrisy that rankles.
11Think about that interview recently in San Francisco when Perry compared being gay to being an alcoholic. Yep. That’s how he dealt with his “issue”. How he “fixed it”. Keep it Simple Stupid….
Ted Cruz is also sporting a Brokeback Mountain jacket in his ads… hmmmm… Glen Maxey looks adorable in his!
12He looks like he’s trying for a cross between the Deepak Chopra look (on top) and a Suit (on the bottom.) And failing in both.
If I were a cop I’d arrest him for “matching a profile” of a hood, but then I’m mean.
13I could care less about Oops Perry’s sexual or sartorial preferences, BUT when he starts trying to justify discrimination that urge to purge sensation gets me every time.
With regards to the other douche: seriously? Why not get it over with and say he smells, and that his Mama dresses him funny…
14What was J Danforth Qyayle’s great contribution to modern society? Oh yeah”Here you have wingnuts running around claiming god and spouting non-sense and calling it just another lifestyle choice.” Or was it potatoe? Can’t remember.
15Elizabeth,you wildcat!
16Oh y’all, he’s just out drummin’ up bidness for Tayuksis and trying out the rule about when in Rome….does that incude when in San Francisco? Ooh, y’all done bin puttin’ ideers in my haid.
17@Elizabeth: Re:Profiling. A friend, who was an DoD profiler at the time Perry ascended the Texas throne, has maintained her opinion from day 1 that Gov Rick was/is evasive and deceptive in his public speech. So maybe Gov Rick is going for that suave drug dealer chic look.
18I think somebody told him if he couldn’t make it as president he could make it in Hollywood. So we’ve seen the “Clark Kent” look, and maybe that new hot mess is his “Miami Vice” look? of course, Trigger can remember how to count to three – Perry’s gonna have trouble remembering his lines, and his ad libs kinda suck, IMO!
19Nice wattle, Jerry.
20Okay, so he’s not gay. How about this: a sexual predator who uses the power of his office to compel persons under his control to submit to his advances. Despicable.
