This is what you'll get when Texas Gov. Rick Perry steps forward as presidential contender
Rick Perry was in Aspen, Colo., last week long enough to disappoint a packed room of western conservatives.

The Texas governor, you might have heard, is primping for the presidency. And let's admit: He's the kind of candidate to get tea party hearts arrhythmic. It's not just the hair. It's not just the square jaw. It's that — well, he's everything an anti-tax, anti-gummint', anti-everythin' voter would want.

Perry spoke in Colorado at a fundraiser where his 10-minute spiel was mostly generalities — nothing about running for president, no clothier advice, no hairstyling tips. Then, he jetted off without taking questions. Media reports were almost sorry to disappoint.

That's OK, because I have his announcement speech for president right here.

And let me tell you, if it isn't inspiring to those who want this nation to step back into another political epoch — say, back to the time pelts first were used for clothing — then nothing will inspire.

1. "thirsted for a divinely led Texan to return America to greatness"
"Foreign policy? Well I've taken many a yacht to far-off places courtesy of contributors who believe in good government. And here's the thing: Like my predecessor as governor, I have a leather flight jacket, and I'm not afraid to use it.

"I believe strongly in the divinely inspired 'onward march of freedom' led by George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. And so it will resume with me as your president, as soon as we can find on oil-rich nation to march against.

"I look 'forward' to serving as your president, and I know you look 'forward' to it as well. God help the United States of America."


Funny thing is this is not too far from the truth.

:puke:

2. Perry let's his pelican mouth overload his hummingbird ass.
Got more crap in him than a stuffed Christmas goose. He want's to follow in his leader's footsteps. I'm not sure America is going to take another idiot from Texas.
