Y’all, He’s Drinking Again
This is exactly the kind of thing that makes satire so damn hard to tell from the truth.
Asked about Trump’s critique of his candidacy, Perry challenged Trump to a pull-up contest.
The reporter prefaced by saying that Donald Trump questioned Rick Perry’s “energy, toughness, and brain power.”
Perry skipped the brain power question and went right for what’s important.

See, this crap just ruins satire for everybody.
Smart move of pRick to go with his strengths. As for his legendary brain power, “Oops!”
1I wish we could encourage dueling.
But that’s not cool. I would never do that.
But if they needed a matched set of pistols, I could accommodate.
2What’s with all the fidgeting? I wonder if good ‘ol Rick has hemorrhoids or just a scratchy butt?
3Actually, I’m surprised Perry didn’t mention guns, like challenging Trump to a shootout at the range. Although I do like the suggestion of dueling much better.
4My first thought when I read the headline was of those semi-diaper pants that toddlers wear. It seemed as appropriate as a gym “shoot out.”
5How about if we lock the whole crew in a room and wait until only one is left to come out? That way at least we’d only have to deal with one of them.
Oh, we were supposed to supply them with food and water and air too? Oops.
6Duct tape for their left hands, couple of bucks.
7Coupla Dull hatchets for their right hands, $20
Watching a death match between GOP wannabes, PRICELESS
I love how he looks around to make sure everyone agrees with his come back. What a maroon.
8Ooh! Ooh! Wrasslin!!! With tag teams. Image the possibilities. Rick and Trump vrs. Huckabee and Palin. Lindsey Graham and Rick Santorum? The mind reels…
9CindyD@5, ditto. I was wondering how and why David Vitter was somehow left out of the contest. Is he climbing into the GOP Klown Kar?
Given the amount of cr*p that flies when politicians compete at anything, they’ll need a lot of diapers. If not now, certainly on August 6.
10Drinking again?
You have evidence that he stopped?
11OK. I read this and now I’ve got that song in my head.
Macho, macho man
I want to be a macho man…
Sigh.
12Fleas. Everyone’s fightin’ fleas right now. Or mites. Could be Rick is fightin’ a caSe of the scabies.
13Three years. pRick claims he has been studying for 3 years, that he grew the world’s 8th largest economy, and …. oops.
3-3-3 is what results when a halfwit just isn’t good enough for 6-6-6. Now, T-Rump? He’s the full on 666.
We have TiVo set to record the first “debate.” No, no, and hell no, we will not watch it “live.” Between the earlier Children’s Table ‘debate’ and the ‘Main Event,’ we’re determining the amount of brain bleach to serve our guests, collect their vehicle keys, and make any necessary adjustments to the drinking games so no one vomits. Built a casino style wager board to record all wagers. I’m placing all my money on the sober folks to be most likely to vomit. Really. Can you imagine listening to any of those idiots, while sober?
14Im deaf and the person that runs the caption obviously had a stroke cause it said they were talking about garden wear..
15yellowdoggranny, how does one caption “argle bargle?” Maybe “garden wear” is a euphemism for fig leaves or the more modern version, jockstrap. But given that the discussion involved Republicons, I’m guessing the word they wanted was Depends.
Sleeping me; when pRick said pull-ups, was thinking he meant a variation of a chin up exercise. Between you, the caption and a moment of lucidity, it is more probable he was referring to the toddler product, Pull-Ups.
16Wait, this is pull-ups like hanging on a bar and pulling yourself up? I was thinking it was who could get his pants pulled up the fastest. I’d forgotten about the toddler pull-up diapers. Those seem pretty appropriate, though.
17Geejay, I believe the fidgeting might be his pants on fire… because his lips ARE moving, therefore….
18ALL of these guys are trapped in a life-time kindergarten with no way out! And they did it to themselves!
19That might be the dumbest answer I’ve ever heard. Maybe Trump us actually right…
20I have watched this at least three times and I could understand all the talk except Perry’s. PleaSe, this is so humiliating. What was his smart comeback?
21PKM, can I come to your debate party? Please, please, please?!
22Debbo, Jane says fly into Reno (nearest airport) and give us a call with your arrival details. Depending on the time of day you arrive, we can be there within 30-45 minutes to meet you.
Lady guests are always welcome! According to Jane, where we live is akin to living in a rerun of Gunsmoke. Her polite way of saying, “not enough ladies,” while omitting any derogatory references to men as boys will be boys.
And, unlike pRick Perry, we can count to three! Number one rule at our parties is have fun; two, do not bring a gun, and #3 surrender your car keys at the door, if you like to drink. Not unlike Texas, Nevada is a strange state. While prostitution is legal here in a few counties, we have some of the toughest and best DUI laws ever. Seriously, choose the wrong mouthwash and be prepared to blow a positive here.
