Rick Perry: The Gag That Never Dies
Y’all, Rick Perry is an amazing man. First off, every damn job he’s ever had is sucking off the government teat. Yet, somehow, he became a millionaire.
Look, I’m not saying he’s dumb. I’m saying he just has real bad luck when it comes to thinking.
He’s had some pretty smart schemers and connivers latch onto him to use his good looks and power to line their pockets. They throw him a few dimes and nickels and Rick thinks he’s playing with the big boys – not that the big boys are playing him.
So now he’s standing there with his winkie under foot, scrambling to come up with a believable story.
He runs to the Christian Broadcasting Network – the fools who believe his story about possessing an ounce of ethics – and explains it all.
I never heard, and I talked to the president about this,” he told CBN News. “I had a conversation with – a phone call – with Rudy Guiliani about it. I’ve talked to the previous ambassador. I’ve talked to the current ambassador. I’ve talked to Kurt Volker, Gordan Sondland, the EU ambassador- every name that you’ve seen out in the media and not once, not once as God as my witness, not once was a Biden name – not the former vice president, not his son ever mentioned. Corruption was talked about in the country but it was always a relatively vague term of, you know, the oligarchs and this and that and what have you.”
Vague terms? This and that and what have you?
Oops.
A Biden name was mentioned. You can bet your best pair of pink boots on that.
And now, I’m sure you’ve heard the reports that he’s resigning next month. It’s been everywhere.
This morning, Rick took it back.
U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry said on Monday he had no plans to resign now or next month, denying a report that he was expected to announce his resignation in November.
Asked about the report in Politico, the U.S. energy secretary told a news conference in Lithuania: “No. I’m here, I’m serving.
“They’ve been writing the story for at least nine months now. One of these days they will probably get it right, but it’s not today, it’s not tomorrow, it’s not next month,” Perry said.
He’s resigning. You can bet on it.
Didn’t have the smarts that G-d gave a bi-valve.
1Wait til he gets a note from Congress inviting him to a get together!
2Yup, Governor Goodhair is definitely going to be inspecting the tread wear on some bus wheels….
3Trump wants him to stick around till he can find ways blame him for the Comey firing, the Stormy Daniel’s payoff, North Korea’s nuclear weapons and his divorces. “Just keep telling him he’s a great American, and that I’ll pardon him. And that Fox will give him his own show.”
4I dunno what to think. The news this morning was that he was not resigning and that reports to that effect were erroneous. From where I’m sitting (not in the catbird’s seat, alas), it appeared that this maladministration was going to make him the patsy for the Ukrainian mess and throw him under the bus. He appears to be fighting back against that. I don’t know if he has the smarts to pull that off; but, it’s possible there is somebody on his staff who does.
In any event, this is an interesting side show to the main event.
5I think that after trump casually pushed Rick in front of a public transportation vehicle he decided that he’s better off inside the tent with the rest of the criminals, rather than standing at the curb by himself. Especially now that we find out he’s been brokering corrupt deals in Ukraine for trump/giuliani cronies.
6@lumpkin: I did not know that. Starts making some kind of sense–sense being a word you can’t really associate with this crowd, but I lack imagination.
7Heard just now on MSNBC with regard to “Rick Perry made me do it”…. “The Milli Vanilli defense”
8Turns out Perry did deservedly acquire some filth of his own from his actions in Ukraine, but not about Old Joe. I guess the smart glasses were insufficient. They only doubled his intelligence.

9rick perry wants to change the board members of a state owned gas company in ukraine,so they are more moderate,(say demanding) in buy u.s.,( say texas) LNG. gee, didnt texas just build a new,big time LNG plant south of houston?( i delivered pipe to it,it exists) since the e.u. has allowed russia and germany to team up on the nordstream2 pipeline,to deliver natural gas directly,to germany,and ukraine decided to have its own gas company,to keep russia from shutting the valve off to other eastern europe countries,during the winter,like previous decade…smart,but rick and trumps buddies are pissy pissy since they lost out on a gas deals after the money was invested,on a lost cause,overseas shipments of LNG. who needs them? only the demand of the invested money..Europe has plenty of its own natural gas,and again,we stand here with our laundry around our ankles looking stupid,again,over the riches and bitches of our elite administraion.
