You Don’t Know Dick
I thought I felt the political landscape around me shifting, the ground beneath my feet moving as in an earthquake, forcing me to barricade myself in our windowless bathroom and locking my co-workers outside because I have minor claustrophobia, and if someone has to go down, it should be them. I’m too young. Turns out it wasn’t a natural disaster at all. It’s a man-made disaster. Dick is coming to Texas.
The Hutchison folks have proudly announced that Dick Cheney will be in Texas to campaign for Kay and appear at a fundraiser in Houston later this month. According to spokeswoman Jennifer Baker, “People who worked with the senator on conservative issues over the years know she will be a great leader for Texas.” If I were Kay, I’d leave the conservative ass-kissing to Perry and start wooing independents. (I’d also change my hairstyle.) As we saw on Tuesday, they’re leaning Republican in state elections. Not that she’ll do this, given that whoever’s running her joke of a campaign (Karl Rove? Seriously?) is giving her bad advice. Probably a mole from the Perry camp.
Perry spokesman Mark Miner dismissed the Cheney Effect, saying, “The Washington establishment usually sticks together.” Just so no one forgets that NO ONE HATES WASHINGTON MORE THAN RICK PERRY. Now, if you watched yesterday’s video, you’ll notice that I compared Cheney to Colonel Klink. I have since decided that this is not fair. To Klink. OMG! LOL! Someone make me a Hogan’s Hero!

Perry = effective campaign = ineffective governor
KBH = ineffective campaign = ? governor
I’d almost vote for Kay but I can’t help but think that she’s clueless. As if that would be a change. The Rove strategy of attacking strength won’t work against the arch right wing of the R party. (its in the bible or maybe under a tea leaf)
Surely SOMEONE can break the hold that cheerleaders have on the governor’s office. (Yes, I’m biased and no, I wasn’t one of the popular kids.
Poplar, though, later on.

This is a Ray Hutchison/Dick Cheney connection. They were good buds back in the day.

You missed the small print in the news release. Cheney asked Perry to go hunting.

Why weren’t there more wacky sit-coms that used concentration camps as their setting?

I’m beginning to think Kaybee’s offical Senate photo was photoshopped, as the requisite ‘do for a big haired Texas gal has disappeared along with her confidence to take on Perry. It really is all about the hair, Kaybee. And sad to say, right now Perry’s hair looks better than yours. This cannot stand. Call a professional colorist and stylist. STAT.

Has anybody checked to see if there are detectable brain waves in KBH? I know that one can win the Republican primary with just one vital sign ($), but, still….

Eileen, in other words, Rick Perry is BACK for the next 4 years because that is what’s going to happen.
KBH is running a HORRIBLE campaign which is becoming the Kay TITANIC with everyone either desperately saving their own skin and throwing her under the bus, or jumping ship.
