Courtesy of Rolling Stone Magazine: "Rick Perry: Best Little Whore in Texas."

Oh this is good stuff!

Matt Tiabbi does not hold back in his evisceration Perry as a candidate, nor does he hold back on his denouncement of a campaign with the same ethical standards employed by a two dollar crack whore on the streets of Laredo.

Here is just a taste from the pages of Rolling Stone:

By the time Perry shows up, I'm jazzed and ready for history. You always want to remember the first time you see the possible next president in person. But as every young person knows, the first time is not always a pleasant experience. Perry lumbers onstage looking exceedingly well-groomed, but also ashen and exhausted, like a funeral director with a hangover. 

In a voice so subdued and halting that I think he must be sick, he launches into his speech, which consists of the following elements: a halfhearted football joke about Texas A&M that would have embarrassed a true fan like George W. Bush, worn bromides about liberals creating a nanny state, a few lines about jobs in Texas, and a promise to repeal "as much of Obamacare as I can" on his first day in the White House. 

"I will try," he says, "to make Washington, D.C., as inconsequential in your life as I can." 

Then he waves and walks offstage. The whole thing has taken barely 10 minutes. 

I can't believe it, and neither can the assembled crowd of Georgia conservatives, who hesitate before breaking into polite applause. I feel like a high school cheerleader who just had her leg jizzed on in the back of a convertible. That's it? It's over? That was Rick Perry's stump speech? 

"Low energy, low substance," sighs Justin Ryan, one of the conference attendees. "That's sort of the candidate in general." 

But this is America, remember, where one should never underestimate shallow. And Rick Perry brings shallow to a new level. He is very gifted in that regard. He could be the Adolf Hitler of shallow. 

Oh yeah!  That's the stuff!

I will not give away any more of this brilliant article so you are going to have to click the link and read it for yourself.  Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

For the more adventurous and hardy among you I present a seven minute You Tube video of Rick Perry campaign commercials, which plays kind of like a John Wayne inspired snuff film for brain cells.

How far did you make it?

I am vaguely proud to reveal that I managed to watch the whole thing, from his early days as a male model type right off the pages of Rent Boy, to his time flogging sausages while running for Agriculture Commissioner, right through his George Bush mini-me period while running for Lt. Governor, to his campaign for Governor where he pretended to care about eduction, teacher pay, and health care.

Yep essentially what I learned is that Rick Perry loves him some political props, whether they be horses, small children, his carefully made up and coiffed beard wife, or a thick juicy piece of succulent sausage.
