Assholery

From all indications, the tea party people are packing the audience at Republican debates with nose-picking, semi-literate assholes who erupt with applause any time El Perrito is asked to explain something stupid he said. On television, this creates the illusion that a worthless fuck with an expensive haircut is wildly popular -- or at least that seems to be the goal.

Somehow I've lived in Texas for all the years Perry has been in state government and can't recall seeing him on TV or ever hearing his voice. Now that he's infecting national politics like a plague, I've reached this conclusion: Imagine George W. Bush without his sophistication, his wit, and his breathtaking intelligence, and what's left is Ricky Perry.
