Much of today's Portal will be All-Rick-Perry-All-The-Time. Sorry. And no, I haven't lost my mind (yet). But I promised to air the governor's laundry to better grasp what this "top-tier" candidate is about. It's early yet, but so far Perry ― who claims he was “called” by God to run for president ― is living up to his swaggering, shoot-first-ask-questions-later caricature. What we see is likely what we'll get. So part of me is already hoping he knocks off Romney and becomes the GOP nominee to face President Obama. In many ways (if he stays true to form) he'd make a better target than even Palin. Obama would likely wipe the floor with him. There's just one problem with that scenario: America could lose its mind and elect him. Let's face it: Voters have gone funny in the head before. After all, they elected Dubya not once but twice. Nor do I underestimate Perry's talent for bamboozlement, the opiate of the gullible masses. And should Perry win, we're really f@#ked. Anyway, bear with me as I kick over this Texan rock and examine the creepy-crawly things underneath. I'll try to make it as entertaining (and painless) as possible.
