The Republican governor of Texas, one Rick Perry, declared today to a cheering throng of Lone Star teabaggers and other assorted nimrods that Texas has the right to leave the Union. He strongly implied that if the current oppression from D.C. persisted, Texas might well opt to revert to its pre-1845 status...
There's a lot of opportunity for cheap sarcasm here, but I'm not really in the mood, what with the lackluster performance of the Celtics and the presence of the Gilmore Girls on my TV screen...
Let's just cut to the chase...Rick Perry is a horse's ass. Sorry to use such clinical terminology, but nothing else is really appropriate. Quick history lesson for the dreamy, craggily handsome talking hairdo who passes for Texas' Chief Executive...
YOUR PARTY FOUGHT AND WON THE CIVIL WAR TO PERMANENTLY STAMP OUT THE VERY IDEA OF SECESSION!!!!!!!!!!!
So there's that modest morsel of idiocy...furthermore, Rick Perry is undoubtedly engaged in this bit of of posturing as part of a bid for the White House in 2012...never mind that the country may have had enough of Texas governors in the Oval Office in the near future...Governor Perry, why do you want to be president of a country that you would destroy with secessionitis and your revival of nullification? The very oath of the presidency (of which you're probably oblivious) requires you to uphold the Constitution, which precludes guano such as the nullification which you espoused today...
By opening his mouth today and trying to reincarnate himself as a cross between the Marlboro Man and John C. Calhoun, Rick Perry permanently disqualified himself from serious consideration for the presidency of anything...go join Sarah Palin on the sidelines Rick...
