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.
