“I have come to the conclusion that this is no viable path forward for me in this 2012 campaign,” said Rick Perry. “Therefore I am suspending my campaign and endorsing Newt Gingrich for president of the United States.”
In the end we learned that early comparisons between Perry and Bush were not out of line. If anything, George W. Bush might be a notch or two up on Perry on the intellect scale.
So while Perry might be gone, his wisdom lives on.
Evolution.
“It’s a theory that’s out there. It’s got some gaps in it. In Texas we teach both Creationism and evolution.”
“I am a firm believer in intelligent design as a matter of faith and intellect, and I believe it should be presented in schools alongside the theories of evolution.”
BP oil spill…God’s fault.
“From time to time there are going to be things that occur that are acts of God that cannot be prevented.”
On the possibility of Texas seceding from the union – just what you want to hear from a presidential hopeful.
“There’s a lot of different scenarios. We’ve got a great union. There’s absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that. But Texas is a very unique place, and we’re a pretty independent lot to boot.”
Proving that even bigots and liars can aspire to great things.
“But you don‘t need to be in the pew every Sunday to know that there’s something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military, but our kids can’t openly celebrate Christmas and pray in school.”
Birds of a feather…
“George W. Bush did a incredible job in the presidency, defending us from freedom.”
Oops.
“I will tell you: It’s three agencies of government, when I get there, that are gone: Commerce, Education and the — what’s the third one there? Let’s see. … OK. So Commerce, Education and the — … The third agency of government I would — I would do away with the Education, the … Commerce and — let’s see — I can’t. The third one, I can’t. Sorry. Oops.”
The saddest part of Perry’s failed presidential run? We’ll never get to see this…
Thanks Rick. It was a blast.
