I'd bet on the dummy to win the debate

/no, not that one, the mannequin

This man is the governor of Texas. Think about that.

It certainly isn't very surprising.

He *is* still running for president right? As small as his chances already are it's important to minimize them actively.

True, but at least get a vid or a picture or something more than an anecdote.

Update: National Journal's Repecca Kaplan tweets that the press consensus is that Perry was joking:

About running for President?

fair enough. I sure would lend credence to it having happened.
Then again, they have become quite adept at denying things that were caught on tape, maybe it doesn't make a difference.

Is a Squat N' Gobble in the same class as a Guatemalan Bench Press or a Hawaiian Muscle F*ck? I need to understand what I'm dealing with here.

Give Perry a break. Nine times out of ten he calls on living creatures, most of which are human. That's a pretty good record.

She asked for more.

They had the same problem at Sneed's Feed & Seed (formerly Chuck's).

In other news, Grace Slick just endorsed Rick Perry and invited him to her house to drink (possibly laced) coffee while listening to Knee Deep in the Hoopla. The crazy part is that Perry would most likely accept.

We'll never elect another know nothing Texas Governor.

There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again.

He got smacked today in Virginia.

It's Ron Paul and Romney as the only two on the ballot there for the Republican primary.

Well, now they're saying he was joking.

That "article" was one sentence. Does one sentence now qualify as journalism?

...a spirited discussion broke out in the restaurant, with some patrons waving Nobama '12 bumper stickers. It was resolved, it seemed, after they determined that someone had left without paying their bill - and a Perry staffer agreed to pick up the tab.

Pshhh. Well, why should that person have their hard-earned money taken away at gunpoint to help support those lazy slackers?

Obviously one of his staffers forgot to put a hat on the mannequin.

Christ, it could've been a glorious day if they had just remembered the hat, Bill Cosby's wife would've come to tell stories. We could've gone fishing in a kiddie pool in a mall.

As small a chance? He'll have a 50-50 shot.

I'd take those odds.

If you're ever in San Francisco, don't eat at either of the crepe chains -- Squat & Gobble and Crepevine both suck harder than Rick Perry.

God I hated that movie...just looking at that picture pisses. me. off.


As a "latchkey kid," I once paused to catch a daytime showing of that movie one summer weekday when my folks were working. Why did I choose Mannequinn? Because fark you, that's why. Andrew McCarthy was a big star back then. Anyway, now whenever I see that image or hear that Starship theme song I have this terrible recollection of being a 10 or so year-old kid sitting alone in a theater in yet another town where my dad had been transferred to.

So yeah, that pic pissed me off, too. :D
