Rick Perry has always been an embarrassment for us. But a least we used to be able to keep him contained in our own state, so it was easy for us to hide our shame that is Rick Perry.
About two years ago, RP somehow managed to jimmy the lock loose to his cage , and he escaped on to the Presidential campaign trail. This was a sad day for us, because now, the whole world knows of our shame. But as luck would have it, we were able to subdue him and bring him back to Texas.
Up until now, I thought we were keeping him contained. That is, until I saw THIS (Not completely work safe video). Apparently, he’s trying to raid other states of their jobs. :smack: And he’s doing this, quite comically, with radio ads!
So yeah, take a look at Lewis Blacks segment on the Daily Show and know that some of us Texans would like to apologize for the giant jack-ass that is Rick Perry.
And here I thought you were going to apologize for Rick Perry signing the restrictive abortion laws just passed by the legislature. You know, the ones which will eliminate 37 of the 42 abortion clinics operating in the state. Which all of us Texans should damn well be apologizing for.
Perry, it’s like being OCD and having the same bad nightmare over and over again. I can’t believe the majority of my state continues to keep this effing moron in office. He’s screwed with land owners, teenagers health, women, immigrants, UT and now other states. I’m pretty sure it’s impossible to despise him any more than I already do.
I haven’t heard the Perry ad, and as loath as I am to defend Perry, when did it become wrong to advertise your state, out-of-state? That’s kind of the point.
Good for him, fighting for his own state.
Now I have to run off to the hospital and get this choking treated.
Since he has announced that he will not seek another term as Governor, I suppose we can assume that this moron will be running for President in 2016. I personally am looking forward to this ass showing more of his classless ineptitude to the rest of the country.
In my life, the people from Texas that I’ve interacted with have been smart, thoughtful, and to a one have all had good hearts. Every single one of them would make a better politician that any politician Texas has ever sent forward
(except for Ann Richards). When Bush was president, I teased that Texans must hold a contest where the stupidest and most useless and miserable SOBs south of the Canadian River had to serve as politicians.
It seemed the cost that the good people of Texas were prepared to pay just to keep these idiots out from under-foot.
Which brings us, of course, to governor Rick Perry.
But if 30-second ads are fair game, why not this one?

People, I think Texas can do better.
Texas needs a governor who is well experienced in corruption and double-dealing. One who can get to work from day one hiring construction companies to do road work on projects that never ever complete and calls it progress.
One who can get tough on all the competing corruption… while still protecting his donors and his crew’s top earners. When pushed, he can even almost sound like Tony Soprano!
This is why we here in NJ would like to offer you absolutely free* Governor Chris Christie.
reasonable shipping and handling charges may apply. Recall election may be required by law. Free as long as you keep him; sizable penalties may accrue if you ever try to send him back. Offer does not include food.
Order now and receive at no additional charge “How to Mount an Ad Campaign on the Back of a Disaster” and “How to Disappear in a Herd of Cattle”.
They say everything is bigger in Texas; you deserve a governor who proves it.
Carrying Governor Christie has made us “Jersey Strong”. Isn’t it somebody else’s turn yet?
The sad part is that he was one of the better candidates in that campaign. Standing beside Newt or Bachman or (God help us) “The Donald”, Rick Perry seemed like a damned fine guy.
BTW, the world knew your shame long before Rick. We all lived that shame for 8 years.
Perhaps Perry was one of the better GOP candidates but I fondly remember the debate from November 2011 when he discussed the three federal departments he would eliminate as president, “I will tell you, it is three agencies of government when I get there that are gone. Commerce, Education, and the — what’s the third one there? Let’s see . . .”
I’m awfully glad he’s not running for Governor again, and that he’ll likely get stomped again if he tries a Presidential run.
Not that I like Dewhurst any better, but the Democrats are bound to offer up some Tony Sanchez-like chump who will get stomped by whatever Republican candidate wins the primary. Let’s hope whoever gets the nod isn’t another Perry or Cruz.
One annoyance of living in Thailand is the caliber of national politics: politicians and Cabinet ministers seem to compete in a race to the bottom. I had to stop reading the local newspapers: when one politician said something too stupid to imagine, you could be sure there would be something even stupider the next day. It made me regret leaving the U.S.A., where politicians were sane, consulted scientists instead of astrologers, told lies that at least passed the sniff test, etc.
I don’t have that regret anymore. If anything, America seems to have followed Thailand’s lead and is now overtaking. Therefore I thank the fine voters of Texas for electing Rick Perry, Ron Paul, Reorge Push, etc. and thereby making my ex-pat status more tolerable. In fact I’d encourage Texas to suspend the rule that crazy electees must have R.P. as initials. Who knows? Maybe you could find some lunatic to outperform Minnesota’s Bachmann!
See, that’s the stitch. Our voter ID laws are a little different. You can’t just show them your Texas state ID, they will only accept CCWs (Concealed weapons license.)
