Rick Perry at RedState: We're In Florida - Someone in Crowd: We're in Louisiana

http://trailblazersblog.dallasnews.com/2013/08/rick-perry-shows-up-in-new-glasses-at-redstate-gathering.html/

Rick Perry didn’t look like the same politician of two years ago at the RedState conservative blogger conference on Saturday. For one thing, when the Texas governor showed up in New Orleans, he was wearing black horn rimmed glasses that are new to his appearance. For another, he was wearing dress shoes. Two years ago, when he launched his presidential bid with an announcement at a summer RedState gathering, he wore his trademark cowboy boots. But back surgery has made him cut back on the boots.

If Perry looked a little different, some things don’t change – like recalling numbers or geography. Touting Texas, Perry declared, “There are many other states that embrace those conservative values, the approach we’ve taken over the years. I’m in one today – Florida.”

“We’re in Louisiana,” someone shouted.


I can't even.

greedy opportunist.

someone I know that worked as a lobbyist at the Texas cap once told me, "I met perry and he has to be one of the most stupid people on the face of the earth".

He says he has to look everywhere in the office except behind Perry because he has a larger than lifesize painting of himself in his Aggie cadet uniform on the wall. It's the one on the right-where else
