What’s the Frequency, Perry?

If you’re not one of the lucky people who call Garland, TX home, then you probably missed last night’s event featuring Gov. Perry and talk radio hosts Mike Gallagher, Michael Medved, and Hugh Hewitt sizing up President Obama’s first 100 days in office. (Due to a conflict of interest, namely sitting at home watching the Natalee Holloway movie on Lifetime, I was unable to attend. Also, I have no idea where Garland is.)

“We’re not here to talk about the president himself,” Perry told the Garlanders and the sad sack reporters who were assigned to the story. “Our goal is to objectively discuss 100 days of his policy decisions and what they mean for America.” Yes, nothing says objectivity like a governor running for reelection surrounded by conservative talk radio personalities.

Here’s your photo of the day.

    Sorry to break up the hilarity, but the blurry dude in the foreground is Dennis Prager — one of the wisest men I know of.

    … just had to give him a shout out.
