Rick Perry: The Best Little Whore In Texas

[Dog Town]

The Texas governor has one driving passion: selling off government to the highest bidder

Matt Taibbi nails another political scumbag.

In a voice so subdued and halting that I think he must be sick, he launches into his speech, which consists of the following elements: a halfhearted football joke about Texas A&M that would have embarrassed a true fan like George W. Bush, worn bromides about liberals creating a nanny state, a few lines about jobs in Texas, and a promise to repeal "as much of Obamacare as I can" on his first day in the White House.

"I will try," he says, "to make Washington, D.C., as inconsequential in your life as I can."

Then he waves and walks offstage. The whole thing has taken barely 10 minutes.

I can't believe it, and neither can the assembled crowd of Georgia conservatives, who hesitate before breaking into polite applause. I feel like a high school cheerleader who just had her leg jizzed on in the back of a convertible. That's it? It's over? That was Rick Perry's stump speech?

"Low energy, low substance," sighs Justin Ryan, one of the conference attendees. "That's sort of the candidate in general."

The banksters and the Koch roaches do not need government officials who can think. They need officials who will follow orders. ALEC will do their thinking for them. That's why the dim bulbs and whackadoodles get so heavily funded.

So do you really believe, anyone who is not a Democrat is a dim bulb, or a whackadoodle?

Poe?

I mean, I'm all on board with Perry being an idiot. But the most substantive thing one can (ETA: or chooses to!) quote is that he...gave a speech that lasted a mere 10 minutes?

Try reading the article! I only quoted the beginning. And he's no idiot!

Yeah, and you did such a good job of promoting it that I'm left wanting to sell you some ipads, viagra, brand name watches, vitamin supplements, downloadable content.

Every one of them currently serving, with the possible exception of Rep Wolfe seems hell-bent on proving that they are.

And you left out bought-and-paid-for-meat-puppets of the Koch roaches.

Reading that article make me feel bad for the people of Texas. How were they so totally taken in by that scum bag?

A broken public school system.

Republicons run it, you know.
