Just when you thought it would be impossible to make Oops Perry seem like a good option...
You probably saw this, but did you see this KICK-ASS campaign booster that he received shortly thereafter? Dude, Rick Perry is totally done with politics. I think that's great. Unfortunately, the state of Texas will throw all of our electoral votes at whichever candidate the G.O.P. tells them to, but at least Perry blew it. I'm still waiting to see how his indictment pans out. In related news, I have a colleague (it's only like, my boss's boss's boss's boss) who thinks Julian Castro will eventually see his way to the presidency. Considering the growing Latino tide combined with Castro's success thusfar, I don't know that we can definitively rule that out. If he's like any other politician, he's had the presidency in his sights since age 2 1/2... not that I'm claiming such a mindset is healthy. As far as this Duck Dynasty guy goes... fuck. I'd like to think he'll face enough logical criticism if he ascends to a rank of greater power that it would break his image, but I've been let down before.
