Shorter Rick Perry: “Gotta boot fulla piss here. Hah? Directions for pouring it out are printed on the heel, y’say? Well, I dunno ’bout that, but I do know that they spend too dang much money in Washington Dee-cee. Hey, let’s go beat up a queer!”

Mad Blog Media 
Hi Patrick. That link doesn’t work.
Hey, K — link is fixed. Sorry ’bout that. Dude is dumber than a sack of Michelle Bachmann’s hair dyed blonde, no?
Or as a friend of mine at work likes to say, he is dumber than a box of rocks.
that’s an insult to rocks everywhere.
Is Rick Perry even in the race any more? The guy really does sound clueless.
watched it again, sober this time. thought i was watching a monkey hump a football.
Wow I was cringing as I watched this – I wanted it to stop.
My father would say, “if [so-and-so] had a brain he’d have a pair.”
This statement blew my mind as a child. I could not figure out the words and puzzled over it. My father delivered the line with great disgust or incredulousness. I would realize someone had done something that very wrong or stupid.
As sad as this is…your tweet yesterday about the location of the true Repug in the 2012 race (i.e.- Le Maison Blanc) is a fuck of a lot more disheartening. (oh yeah…thanks for dragging me onto Twitter Patrick)
This election won’t even be a case of lesser of evils. It really is looking like a choice between hemlock juice and “the brown acid”.
Moving to Italy would seem like an option if the reality of their situation didn’t seem almost as bad. Ol’ Sil might have been bad, but at least he was elected and could eventually be unelected. The new guy was chosen and installed by who? If elections can be undone like that, what’s that say for any future elections?
OH Geez I have to get on Twitter to get the inside track!?
Who was the tel-evangelist a few years back caught on TV agreeing with one of his handlers that he did not have to answer the question he was asked, he could just give any answer he wanted.
Dishonest and obvious.
But then that’s Perry and the whole GOP Presidential herd.
HPD, some igneous rocks are pretty dense.
No tweets for me thanks. It’s not ABOUT the government in Italy my friends – it’s DESPITE the government! Italians, despite being overrun by pretty much everyone in history over the centuries and only having a united country for 150 years, have produced the great art, music, Ferrari, Campagnolo, Ducati, Prosciutto di Parma, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Barolo, Barbaresco, etc. despite all the wars and strife, while a place like Switzerland, with hundreds of years of peace, neutrality and tranquility have given us — the cuckoo clock.
Berlusconi was finally removed (but don’t look away, he’ll try to come back until someone shoots him with a silver bullet or drives a wooden stake into his heart!) because he no longer had a majority in the government and new elections would take up too much time to deal with the crisis – so Monti was installed temporarily to create a technocrat government to deal with the crisis. He’ll be out and it’ll be back to chaos as usual in barely a year I think.
Meanwhile, life is pretty good here unless you need a job – but that’s pretty much true everywhere these days – so why not enjoy the best food and wine, the culture of cycling, the gorgeous scenery and warm, friendly people? You only live once! As soon as the wife can retire – we’ll be seeking permanent residency in La Bella Paese, until then we’ll spend as much time as possible here, away from the land of Big Macs and Baconators.
They say being governor of Tejas is one of the easiest jobs in government – the last two guys who’ve been in that position certainly prove it. Extra glad I’m not “home” in Iowa these days.
Well, Ben, even the East-Central Minnesota granites I worked on are not as dense as Snow White and the various Dwarfs running in the GOP primaries.
I am glad Gary Johnson bailed on these idiots. He came right out and said he would not kowtow to the religious right. That got him the bum’s rush out of serious consideration. Huntsman is definitely not an idiot, but that seems to be working against him very effectively.
Larry might have a point. All that commotion in Italy has led to a great deal of good stuff. And then there is Switzerland. Maybe what the U.S. needs is a government as hilarious and as ineffective as in Rome. Reminds me of that old joke:
Heaven Is Where:
The French are the chefs
The Italians are the lovers
The British are the police
The Germans are the mechanics
And the Swiss make everything run on time
Hell is Where:
The British are the chefs
The Swiss are the lovers
The French are the mechanics
And the Italians make everything run on time
And the Germans are the police
I have a t-shirt with this on it except (naturally) the ITALIANS are the cooks and the French are the lovers, a much better situation in my book. I’m wondering if the Repug adults will figure out that Romney is their only real hope, OR will they do the Bob Dole/John Kerry/John McCain type thing and go down in flames next year. The Tea Party should really get their own party going and ditch the Repugs while maybe some lefties should do the same with the Demos? Maybe a 99% Party? This two-party deal’s not been working too well lately for anyone.
Khal,
Maybe the analogy is more along the lines of the GOP functioning as pre-cambrian prokaryotes awaiting the next Great Oxygenation catastrophe to wipe them out.
Extinction via ones own waste gases. Oh wait that’s happening to all of us.
I’ll accept any of the poem’s combinations as manageable, except Germans as police.
