James Carville: Why Rick Perry's Presidential Bid is Toast
CNN ^ | October 29, 2011

Posted on 10/30/2011 12:30:33 PM PDT by drewh

When Rick Perry announced he was running for president back on August 13, to tell you the truth I got a little excited.

Now I know what you're thinking -- James you are a big Democrat, why on earth would you be excited about Perry running for president?

This was my thinking: Perry would get in and he would be a major force.

He was the bona fide conservative complete with a pedigree to take on Romney.

With the way things are shaping up now, the convention planners might be more inclined to take a motivational speaker. Hey Rick -- you are costing me airtime!

There is a dirty little secret about political people.

If you really love it, you hope for a good race that goes on and you enjoy watching people who are skilled at doing this.

It is literally painful to watch Rick Perry as a candidate. The case could be made that Rick Perry is the worst debater to ever run for president.

As far as I know he can't even give a good speech.

Not only can he not give an interview, he can't even roll out his flat tax plan. He steps all over it by saying, "Oh by the way, it's optional anyway."

Not only is Rick Perry utterly incapable of running for president, and in fact can't meet the basic requirement for any politician -- he can't even run his mouth.

To tell you the truth, it's gotten so bad people in Louisiana are actually starting to make Texas jokes.

If this thing gets any worse the people in Mississippi will be making Texas jokes -- then you've really hit rock bottom.

Rick, you have managed to embarrass yourself. So I guess you are good at something after all.

If Carville is talking about it, that means he feels threatened.

“To tell you the truth, it’s gotten so bad people in Louisiana are actually starting to make Texas jokes.”

“If this thing gets any worse the people in Mississippi will be making Texas jokes — then you’ve really hit rock bottom.”

That’s hilarious.

Ole Snakehead sure does know how to run HIS mouth. It’s surprising that he’s not an elected pol.

Isn’t Carville the prognosticator who proclaimed that the election of Barky would put the ‘Rats in charge for the next 40 years? I believe he even wrote a book about it. Carville is a turd.

Hey Cajun Man, how did your prediction on the ‘04 election come out? About the same as Morris’s prediction on Hill’ry being the next president, eh?

Carville has benefitted from the MSM`s habit of mistaking common talk for common sense. He just babbles insulting and `colorful` bilge and claims it`s straight talk. But he doesn`t seem to know more than any other talking head. He`s their token `southern drawler.`

“If this thing gets any worse the people in Mississippi will be making Texas jokes — then you’ve really hit rock bottom.”

Reminds me of now-deceased comedian Bill Hicks cracking a joke about Oklahoma, “Oklahoma-The only state Arkansas can make fun of. When you have Arkansas raggin’ your ass, you’re pretty low down on the food chain.”

Here’s the video of this routine.
