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.

Carville is a comedian. I laugh at his jokes but I consider the source. He spews the latest talking points for a joke. But in politics the story-line changes on a daily basis.
At least he has a sense of humor, and he doesn't hate America.
Snakehead is most likely shilling for Hillary, but he surely has Perry pegged correctly.
FauxNews has been running this latest Perry promotional interview non-stop all weekend, trying to make Perry appear not too dangerously stupid to be a vanity candidate -- and it is not working.
perry’s got the $ to take out rino romney.
good enough for me.
then, cain’s the candidate.
Who'd have thunk it?
I seriously doubt that carville feels threatened by a Perry candidacy. I think carville is a hack, cockroach scumbag, but he nailed some of Perry’s several faults to date.
I wish there were some way to track the predictions of these people.
If being un-American or pro-American is a measure of a pundit, we’re in serious trouble. Though I do agree with you, it IS perfectly clear which ones are which.
Carville ‘got some’ the other night from his conservative wife for saying something nice about Perry. Don’t take him too seriously.
Thanks for the tip.
Man ya'll are smoking something.
If it ain't Perry it's for sure going to be Romney because the Republicans want to beat Obama not just make a political statement.
Carville’s papa? Or Carville as a youth?
Perry isn’t threatening anyone other than Rick Santorum for 4th place.
You forgot to include ‘B screen actor’.
"Now I know what you're thinking -- James you are a big Democrat, why on earth would you be excited about Perry"...Y'know, that's not even close to what I was thinking.
I didn’t say he was an Air Force Lt., 2 term Governor of California and second in delegate count in the 1976 Republican nominating process.
The end of the world is surely near...
No problemo!
I was simply mocking your use of the same type of tactics the Liberals and Establishment Republicans used against Reagan.
