EXCERPT: Rick Perry: The Best Little Whore in Texas
By Matt Taibbi, rollingstone.com
Rick Perry brings shallow to a new level. He is very gifted in that regard.
Perry’s campaign is still struggling to recover from the kind of spectacular, submarine-at-crush-depth collapse seldom seen before in the history of presidential politics. The governor went from presumptive front-runner to stammering talk-show punch line seemingly in the speed of a single tweet, rightly blasted for being too incompetent even to hold his own in televised debates.......
But such superficial criticisms of his weirdly erratic campaign demeanor don’t even begin to get at the root of why we should all be terrified of Perry and what he represents.
After all, you have to go pretty far to stand out as a whore and a sellout when you come from a state that has produced such luminaries in the history of political corruption as LBJ, Karl Rove and George W. Bush.
Rick Perry has managed to set a scary new low in the annals of opportunism, turning Texas into a swamp of political incest and backroom dealing on a scale not often seen this side of the Congo or Sierra Leone.
In an era when there’s exponentially more money in politics than we’ve ever seen before, Perry is the candidate who is exponentially more willing than we’ve ever seen before to whore himself out for that money.
On the human level he is a nonpersonality, an almost perfect cipher – a man whose only discernible passion is his extreme willingness to be whatever someone will pay him to be, or vote for him to be. Perry is a human price tag —SNIP—
I got that in a email from Medina.
You do nothing but post lies regarding Perry on these boards.
I checked your posting history and that is all that you do.
Your hatred for Perry is disgusting.
Are you a woman or a man using a female name?
I just got a call from Obama and he wanted me to tell you that you are needed back at the campaign headquarters.
