Rick Perry Says He's A Prophet And That's Why Texans Don't Like Him Much

By Richard Connelly, Wed., Jun. 15 2011 at 6:01 AM

Governor Rick Perry appeared on the Fox News network for an interview with Neil Cavuto.

Cavuto made the somewhat dubious statement that Perry is "very popular outside your state, still popular but not nearly as popular within your state." (Although "outside your state" could, we guess, refer specifically to the home of some Rick Perry fanatic in Eupora, Mississippi.)

Asked why Texas wasn't exactly in love with him, Perry said "I say that a prophet is generally not loved in their hometown. That's both Biblical and practical."

Good, humble answer, sir.

1. When did that man develop such a Jesus complex?

I know he wasn't such a Bible thumper when I first became aware of him in state politics.

2. I know.

He wasn't like this when he was Ag Commissioner. Back then we knew him as a paid-for member of Big Agriculture and partly how he beat out incumbent Jim Hightower (Karl Rove did the smear campaign on him, too.)

3. Juanita's take on it

"No, Dude, a Magic 8 Ball, a rabbit’s foot, and a pre-owned Ouija board that Kay Bailey Hutchinson never took out of the box does not make you a prophet."

"Now you guys hush and quit making fun of Rick. He thinks he’s the King of Texas."

"If I could get close enough to stick a pin in his ego, that poor son of goat would fly around the state backwards for a full week."

Don't know if I've seen that blog or not, but it's getting bookmarked :D
