All right in a sort of a limited way
Laura Ingraham today on her radio show: Rick Perry should drop out of this race. . . . And I like Rick Perry, I thought he was pretty cool in the last debate, except for that little problem with calling Turkey an Islamic terrorist regime. I mean, God bless him but he’s not put in [...]

Talibangelicals Anoint Santorum
No,no, we’re talking about the theological usage of Crisco, you Godless secularists. Per Andre Tartar at NYMag’s Daily Intel: A group of 150 of the country’s leading social conservative and evangelical leaders met yesterday on a ranch outside Houston and, after three rounds of balloting, decided who they wanted as their official anyone-but-Romney alternative: Rick [...]

Guess Nobody Dared Tell Gov. Goodhair About the “Closet” Rumors…
... or else the Letterman audience would’ve witnessed Perry read a Top Nine list: 10. Actually, there were three reasons I messed up last night. One was the nerves, and two was the headache and three … um … uh … oops. 9. I don’t know what you’re talking about – I think things went [...]

Beating Three Nines With A Hand Full Of Jokers
Not to be outdone by Herman Cain’s awful 9-9-9 plan, Rick Perry shuffles the deck and draws an even more regressive mess of a tax scheme to transfer wealth to the top. K-Drum takes a look at Perry’s cards. The plan starts with giving Americans a choice between a new, flat tax rate of 20% [...]

Open Thread: Now We’re Just Haggling
(Ted Rall’s blog) In the case of Perry’s lofty claim that Merck couldn’t buy his gubernatorial mandate, looks like the answer would be ‘lying’. Kevin Drum at Mother Jones wraps up the details: ... Now we know what it takes to get in the door and persuade Perry to do something that violates his most [...]

Late Night Open Thread: Pain in the… Back
Tonight, all three local news networks had slightly different short clips of Rick Perry in Boston as “the keynote speaker at the Pioneer Institute’s awards dinner” (the link goes to a fourth clip, because that’s the only one I can find right now). And on all three networks, Perry looked terrible—1980s-Katherine-Hepburn terrible, with a quaver [...]

Shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
It looks like Rick Perry put an innocent man to death and then quashed an investigation on the matter. The awful truth is that this probably helps him in the Republican primary and makes no difference for the general election.

Open Thread: Lonestar Blowback
(Nick Anderson via GoComics.com) In today’s roundup of buyer’s remorse from the Media Village, the LA Times has a nice succinct editorial summing up “The Problem with Perry“: Given the depth of his loathing for the federal government, it’s a little surprising that Texas Gov. Rick Perry wants to preside over it. Indeed, in the [...]

The shape of things to come
Another poll out showing Perry with a big lead nationally in the Republican primary. Recently, Perry signed one of those nutty anti-marriage equality pledges. Perry is a big fan of Glenn Beck favorite Cleon Skousen. One way or another, this is the year Millerism/Anglism/O’Donnellism goes national. If Perry implodes, some other kook will crank it [...]

I Like This Version Better
This is Jamison Foser’s edit of the Perry/Obama comparison picture (click to embiggen). I like it better than the one Libby Spencer made. It would be perfect if the title was something like “Let’s Not Get Fooled Again”. I realize that it’s less high-minded and more backward-looking, but it encapsulates the extremely simple, winning message [...]

Leper messiah
As I’ve said many times, I look forward to hearing Serious Conservative Pundits tell us what a serious, Burkean, Churchillian, Hayekian character Rick Perry is. Reading this (from Kathleen Parker) scared me a bit: Perry knows he has to make clear that God is his wingman. And this conviction seems not only to be sincere, [...]

Straight to your heart like a hippie punch
There are those who say that it is simplistic to assume that Perry will beat Romney because Perry pisses off liberals more than Romney does. Let’s review the events of the past few weeks: Perry accused Ben Bernanke of treason, denied that global warming was happening, spoke out in favor of creationism, and look what [...]

Get pissed, destroy
Here’s your storyline for 2012. From the media’s perspective, Mitt is now so 2000 and late. I do think there is an essential truth underneath the Rickmentum, and that’s that Perry pisses liberals off in a way that Mitt never could. Look at vouchercare, other than pissing off liberals, what did it have going for [...]

Boys say when is he gonna give us some room
The beer primary has begun in earnest at Kaplan. Kathleen Parker: Upon meeting Perry, you can’t help thinking that he’s just like Dubya. They share not only the same speech patterns, but they also have that same je ne sais quoi that corresponds to the way a confident Southern male asks a girl to take [...]
