Perry should have had this down cold. The third agency was energy, I'm sure. The energy dept had a lot of say in the Gulf cleanup which affected Texas, so if Perry had issues with how that dept handled things it should have been a no brainer for him to discuss.

WTF? Surely in a country as vast as America, the Republicans can dig up *some* candidates with brains?  :huh:

Everybody with brains knows running for President is a horrible idea.

Seriously.  I feel sorry for Perry and this makes me warm to him on a personal level, but sweet Jesus this was meant to be the conservative saviour from Romney :blink:

I can't understand how the Republican have managed to do this.  They've got a winnable Presidential election and the only people competing for it are either hugely unloved/unloveable (Romney, Huntsman, possibly Gingrich) or make Mike Gravel look like a sensible, grounded, disciplined candidate.

Also Texas.  WTF?

This reminds me a lot of the 2004 election, actually.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

We are a one party state.  Perry was just one of dudes swept into office along with George W Bush in the 1994 red storm.  Bush ran for President so he became Governor and the Republican machine has crushed any conservative who has tried to oppose him.  Ergo even though he is generally regarded as an incompetent and corrupt we are powerless to get rid of him.  I am just amazed the National Republicans didn't know it.

Texas governors don't have a lot of power.

Yep.  That is the other thing.  People keep wanting to give Perry credit for Texas' successes which is sorta like giving the George VI credit for winning WWII.

Cain's "Princess Nancy" comment poor judgment, but consider the source.

Never poor judgment to blast Pelosi.

I don't think the GOP is overly interested in brains.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
