    I take back everything negative I ever said about Perry.
    He’s showing some real brass balls here, along with Jindal and other Gov’s who are coming out against Obamacare. Maybe Romney won’t have to abolish it after all.

    Thwack!
    Nice job, Guv’nor!

    I understand you’ll be moving back into the restored governor’s mansion very soon. In addition to tight security, and anti-arson detectors (if there is such a thing), you’d best be on the lookout for drones and who-knows-what.

    I wish Perry sneaked up on everyone.
    The Perryites talked him up wayyyy too big and it became a “ya, well, show us this Obama slayer” scenario.

    When he stumbled it was more damaging to him than it would have been had he appeared on the stage as an also-ran.

    We made a mistake, however, because back then we didn’t see Obama as vulnerable as he is now. We were really nervous and thought we needed a flawless candidate. We don’t.
    I would rather it be Rick Perry than Romney.
    But I think Romney can beat Obama, so, crying over that spilled milk is pointless now.

    Now, we need to have 56 more letters with the same content sent to the hag.

    Can we now get every other Governor to send the same letter. Yes Rick Perry! Yes, Texas!

    Why do these dishonorable fools get the word “Honorable” in their titles?

    Every time I hear Sebelius’ name, I laugh when I remember whomever it was on iOTW that said it sounded like some kind of tumor or boil: “that sebelius on her butt really should be lanced.”

    Debbie That’s an ancient salutation from the Harbrace College Handbook on English,circa 1941.
    It was intended for properly addressing Ladies and Gentlemen. It still applies in certain cases, but in this case, “yo Bitch” would suffice. Just sayin’.

    I wish Perry hadn’t stumbled in the debates. I liked him and thought him to be a good challenger to the Blame-Everyone-Except-Me-In-Chief.

    Kathleen Sebelius is honorable?

    As much as I like Perry, is that really his signature? A mixture of upper case and lower case printed letters?

    I think I’ll give my two youngsters (7 & 4) a break from handwriting practise tomorrow. They’re obviously far too advanced for their own good.

    Oh, and go get ‘em Perry.

    I said back when he dropped out that Perry would be the veep, and I’m sticking to that.

    That’s a nice letter, but the proper way is to send a 7 page fax where the first page is just one big “F”….

    Because Sebelius AND Obumfuk have severe tunnelvision.

    I had to chuckle when I read that he signed it “Sincerely”.

    In today’s business world, signing a letter with “sincerely” is damn close to saying “FUCK YOU”.

    Well done, Gov Perry, well done!

    @nordic: yes, that really is his signature. I had him autograph a copy of his book a couple of years ago, and that’s exactly how he signed it.

    Too bad he didn’t address it to Kathleen Seabiscuit or Kathleen Supercilious.

    And, yeah, that signature is concerning. It looks like a high-school cheerleader’s.
