To 9 - I see you're warming up to Perry!

Fast forward to November 2013 - jla receives a Freepmail from IndyLindy:

Hey there, jla,

First of all, I wanted to thank you for being so gracious to me before and after the election last year when I incessantly slammed Rick, er, I mean President Perry.
I have to hand it to you for never giving up on him. And I'll admit, I never would have believed he could move this country in such a positive way as he has this past year. The economy is booming, jobs are abundant, and (I'm happy to state), President Perry's plan to use our nation's unmatched technology to combat illegal immigrants has had astounding success! DON'T REPEAT THIS but because I've saved so much money as a result of President Perry's flat tax I now can afford a housekeeper. I've hired a very sweet young Catholic lady. Her name is Estrella Fernandez, and we've become best of friends. She's teaching me the Jarabe Tapatio, better known as the Mexican Hat Dance.
That's all for now. Keep on rockin', Rick!

Olé,
IndyLindy

Just in: Rick Perry in the midst of a campaign shakeup. Carney out, Allbaugh in? Anita is behind it? Ah, the drama. But good news. Adapt, overcome, adjust.

Good heavens, you better hope that would be the truth.

But I like over the top pie in the sky optimism.

I doubt it though. He has pretty much knocked out himself.

Sometimes a person who aspires to higher office, does something or says something that is quite fatal to their chances. Any attempt to fix it fails.

I have seen that before in the race for the 2012 nomination.
