So here comes the second coming of George W. Bush out of the governor's mansion in Texas, Rick (Dubya) Perry.
Or maybe just call him W2.
Perry is taller, has much better hair, seems to believe he has an even better pipeline to God than Bush did. And he comes out of Paint Creek, Tex., different from the Texas town that gave us Bush, the one we also know as Yale University.
Whether Dubya Perry is holier than Michele Bachmann, the new President of Ames, Iowa, remains to be seen. For now, though, Perry and Bachmann are the headliners of the moment in the Republican Party. Barack Obama must be rooting like crazy for both of them, at the beginning of a campaign where fringe Republicans might do a better job of saving Obama than he can of saving himself.
Perry is the latest guy in the race, announcing Saturday in South Carolina, not throwing his hat into the race as much as his helmet hair. This was the day after Bachmann, who really does think she can out-God Perry and everybody else in the race, wins a straw poll in Iowa with about 4,000 votes, which is a couple of blocks in New York City.
But that was enough for her to immediately be treated like some sort of front-runner on the Sunday morning talk shows. It was like watching the winner of a split-squad game the first week of spring training be declared the favorite to win the World Series.

Lupica was a second rate sports writer who is now a third rate political writer. Just like Olbermann.
After Nobama, a lot of people wouldn’t mind Bush back.
I see a distinct difference between the two that being, Mr. Open Borders Perry will never be president.
Ya know, all Texans are exactly the same. Who can tell them apart. Yeee hawww. </sarcasm>
If the economy continues its plunge, (as I expect it to) on election day Nov 2012 people will be talking about 2008 as the “good old days”.
It's called flak -- And can generally only be received when one is directly over the enemy target.
Well, there’s the New York/California position.
Mike Lupica? Ugh. A real nitwit.
>>> Mike Lupica
Who really gives a crap what this sportsweasel has to say about anything political let alone sports?
I actually trust Michelle Bachmann. I once trusted Perry but then I started looking closer and saw a whole lot of talk that didn’t match the walk.
Mike Lupica, isn’t he that “writer” that George Costanza liked?
Regardless, do these libs and dims have no other play in their gamebook?
Haven’t even started the campaign and already they are resorting to insults, name-calling, and the politics of personal destruction.
Hey, Luffa-brain, how did Rick do on the economy in Texas? How’s “your boy” doing at the national level with the economy. Case closed. And I’m no fan of Rick Perry. Yet.
I actually think they look and talk alike. Got no problem with it.
If the other 56 states were doing as good as Texas, this would be a different America.
Brang it. I’ll vote for somebody who can pull his pistol out and waste a coyote trying to eat his kid’s dog. A manly man, as opposed to a girly man? Fo sho.
I like Perry a lot, but he is going to have to answer the question of how he differs from Bush in a convincing manner.
If he does that, he is the next President of the United States. If he cannot, he quickly turns into an also-ran.
Yeah, thought I recognized the name Lupica, from back in my sports page reading days. Must be the Triple-A farm club for political “experts.” WholeeeeeeeeeCow.
Yes, that is the sound of a very scared and angry queen.
On way they’re the same, both flew fighter jets:
Military service
Service/branch United States Air Force
Years of service 1972–1977
Rank Captain

“Lupica was a second rate sports writer who is now a third rate political writer. Just like Olbermann.”
Is he a poof? He certainly sounds like one.
what a scumbag...accusing Perry & Bachman of acting holier than thou? He should look to the current White House occupant........
