Rick Perry

This fellow has emerged lately - after Newt's latest implosion - as the nome du jour for republicans looking to find someone who makes some of their gaggle of geese look like Mother Theresa on steroids.  I have to wonder what gives here.

Rick was talking about taking Texas out of the United States....seceding actually.  Now he is up and about with folks from the American Family "let's get the gays" Association and John Hagee who was so far afield that even John McCain didn't want any of his money or support.

He has signed bills that let college students carry guns to class and has a state with the worst pollution, air quality, debt and education going for it. He indeed does seem like a good choice to run with Attila the Hun as his running mate.

You will remember the last election cycle when there was a sudden burst of enthusiasm for that Freddie Thompson fella and then that awful clown from Louisiana (no not Vitter but that other guy) until he shot himself in the foot by opening his mouth. ... my god they even wanted yet another Bush - probably figuring that the law of averages precluded yet one more dunderhead.

Let's be straight on this. Rick Perry is one zombie we don't need and if the republicans, true to form, want to hand the election to the democrats which they will be doing as a matter of course anyway, then Rick is their guy. 

Scary is the Mississippi in flood and a tornado in the sky. Frightening is the governor of Texas.
