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.

“No one called Reagan a RINO. Reagan gave speeches against ‘RINOs’ the GOP good-ole-boys and spendthrifts.
Stick with principles not with politicians.”
Exactly,We do not have any option, but a conservative to pull this place out of the hole,the current So-called administration had dug,these Perry Bots are another extension of the Bush Bots and the Paulies.
Not bad. I suppose he could run a rather clever, results-oriented, “problems I inhereted from Bush” campaign as well.
