Gov. Perry Endorses John McCain
Gov. Rick Perry on Thursday announced his endorsement of presidential candidate John McCain. Perry said he is backing McCain, because he is the candidate who would do the most for and win the war on terror. He said having Hillary Clinton as a president would mean the country would be “going to hell in a hand basket.”
Well, now the drama about who Governor Goodhair will endorse is over…and if I was John McCain, my bladder would have emptied in abject terror. Governor Perry, who is to good governance what Pee Wee Herman is to appropriate displays of sexuality, has thrown his support to McCain. Whood-dee-frickin’-doo…. Cynics will remember that Perry initially endorsed Rudy Giuliani…and boy, that sure worked out well, didn’t it?
Given that half the denizens of the Great State of Texas couldn’t tell you who who their Governor is, I can just imagine what Republicans outside of Texas might be thinking. Texas has a Governor? When did that happen?
Like any good Republican, Perry just couldn’t pass up an opportunity to engage in some reflexive, de riguer, and thoroughly juvenile and meaningless HIllary-bashing. Like so many True Believers, Perry will tell you Sen. Clinton is of the Devil, but he’ll never bother to elucidate as to why this might be true. The fact that her last name is Clinton is like a red cape to Republican bulls. Hatred of all things Clinton is extreme, total, and yet thoroughly unsupported. No one can tell you why, it just IS. It’s like when someone says that they don’t know why they don’t like something, but they HATE it nonetheless. So much for rational thinking, eh?
I’m not sure what Governor Goodhair will add to John McCain’s campaign outside of unintentional comic relief, but I’m sure McCain is thinking it’s Christmas morning. Like Perry’s endorsement is actually going to make a difference….
Texas has a Governor?? “Going to Hell in a handbasket”?? Is the man channelling my mother??
