Running Rick
More and more people are amused that Rick Perry is still running for President. Even an East Texas newspaper had a editorial this week acknowledging that Perry finally quit spending taxpayer dollars to fund his Presidential bid, but maybe – just maybe – Rick might be in over his head in the whole King of the Damn World quest.
And this poll comes out showing that Ted Cruz leads Rick Perry in a Presidential poll of Texas Republicans by 29 percentage points. Most folks would be hunting for a hole to hide in after that, but not Rick Perry. Oh no, Rick gets some glasses to look like he has a lick of sense and keeps reminding folks that leading the state that’s last in education and 50th in the number of insured is something to crow about.
And, Mark Halperin’s Double Down is downloading on my Nook as we speak and I am told that there’s some dandy Rick Perry stories in there, too. Like how he couldn’t count to four before he couldn’t count to three. And how Michele Bachmann was completely spooked by him.
But he’s running for President because hell — what else does he have to do?
That last place in education sure has paid off for these creeps, hasn’t it!
Wendy Davis is one person who is getting my campaign contributions. Alison Lundergan Grimes in Kentucky is another. They make me proud of our wonderful Democratic women.
1JJ you are such a card. Thanks for the chuckle first thing. Always help start out the day on a positive note.
2Wearing glasses didn’t make Grifterella any smarter either.
3Are there any lenses in those glasses?
4Rick Perry can’t win three primaries because… well you know why. Any list of three items becomes an instant Perry joke. Even the Aggies are ashamed of him. Most of them can count all the way to twelve because that’s how many it takes to make an Aggie football team.
5A republican named Rick Perry is running for mayor in my city.
6That’s enough to make me vote for anyone else!!!!!
Poor Ricky. Even his hair isn’t lookin’ so good these days.
7Bless his heart. He has land. He could go out and watch the oil trucks come and go. Or maybe he could get a job driving an oil truck. A real job. You know?
8I just read that article from Maryland. You think we could get O’Malley to move to Texas?
9Rickie’s glasses have magic lens. They turn the world he’s looking at into a Rethug Wonderland. No wonder he keeps getting closer and closer to falling down the rabbit hole!
10@Marge Wood: O’Malley is likely to run for Prez and is the front-runner to wind up as the VP nominee. Barring that, a Senate seat is likely to open up in MD in the fairly near future (both Cardin and Milkulski are getting up there in age).
11Not to mention…. but it pays pretty damned well.
People you don’t even know (or care about) send you money.
12He’s got that Repug mindset which denies reality, so he continues blindly on like the rest of the baggers, in their own world of hate, greed and ignorance.
13‘Running for President because hell — what else do I have to do?’
See if you can sell that to Little Ricky’s organization – it would make a dandy campaign slogan!
