You Can Leave Your Hat On

Rick Perry will appear on the cover of Parade in two weeks. I can only assume that they are releasing the interview early because he will be gone in two weeks. But that’s not important. What is important is that Perry was apparently photographed in various states of undress.

It’s positively titillating. It’s like, is he going to take his blazer off or is he just teasing us? That look in his eyes says, maybe. But that half-smile says, maybe not.

Who knew that Parade could be so risqué? What’s next, a Governing centerfold?

    Perry’s mistake about the date of the American Revolution is actually fairly easy to explain: One day while he was sleeping thru a history class at A&M with the front of his mind thinking about a great new “Yell” for Saturday’s big game, something in the way, way back of his consciousness (sic) heard the professor say something about a great revolution in the 16th Century that resulted in a great expansion of personal freedom….The professor was actually talking about the Protestant Reformation (you know that time when a bunch of Germans went off on some crazy angle and left the “True Church”)….but all Rick picked up was…”16 Century….personal freedom”….Since he never paid attention in history, the only big expansion of personal freedom he had ever heard of was the “American Revolution”….(He remembered about it because one of his “ghost brains” had put some lines about it in one of his recent speeches)….So Rick’s mind put the two things together—16th Century and Revolution—and came up with “American Revolution in the 16th Century”. See how easy it is to explain when you understand the mind of an undereducated Aggie.

    P.S. I hear the Parade piece is actually more of a profile of Anita…The women behind the man kind of thing…

    P.S.P.S. You still haven’t told me about the crab cakes you ate on your vacation.

    Maryland crab cakes – best ones I could find were at Big Fish Grill, Rehoboth.

    It’s the Parade annual tribute to gay politicians.

    I don’t think Perry wants to be President. I think he really wants to be Sarah Palin.

    I’m sure he and Marcus Bachmann would like snazzy outfits like Palin’s campaign buys for her.

  7. WUSRPH Says:

    Do you think if we all took up a collection to buy Anita that $10,000 per month swankadelia the taxpayers are providing for hin/her she’d get him to drop out of the race and promise to never, never, never run for public office again? We’d probably have to come up with enough to pay the taxes for 20 years or so to sweeten the deal…but I am sure we could get a few pennies from every school teacher in Texas to help cover that. We could throw in a resolution by the Leg. declaring Rick “governor emeritus for life”…We might have to provide him with a small office somewhere, but it could be worked out….

  8. WUSRPH Says:

    P.S. If Rick would agree to resign as governor we could throw in his own personal DPS driver/body guard and big black SUV with special license plates….

  9. WUSRPH Says:

    Maybe we can finally find out how his knees compare to yours.

    So glad I didn’t look at this before I went to sleep last night. The stuff nightmares are made of!

    Actually the picture is gun-porn. He is showing off his sexy new shoulder holster for his “coyote shootin’ iron”.
