On occasion, the world becomes acquainted with an idiot. This happens when said idiot finds himself or herself in a prominent position. And in recent times, it's fair to say that the great state of Texas has provided us with prime examples.
We don't need to get into George W. Bush here. We all know Bush was apt to say really dumb things a lot, and for this, there is even a dedicated Bushisms Wikipedia page for your enjoyment.
No, I'm talking about the guy who replaced Bush as Texas state Governor after he left to become President: Mr. Rick Perry. During the 2012 Republican Primaries, Rick Perry got caught looking like a dope on several occasions, including looking/sounding drunk while fondling a bottle of maple syrup in New Hampshire, and the "oops" moment at the November 9, 2011 Republican Debate, as well as looking like a weak flipflopper for supporting HPV vaccinations for teens in his state, but then switching positions when he was attacked for it by Ol' CrazyEyes Bachmann.
But it seems that thus far, Rick Perry has only flirted with Bushisms. Until today. In what can only be characterized as a disgusting, low, demeaning, all-out stupid move, he spoke at a pro-life event and attacked Senator Wendy Davis over her filibuster earlier this week. He debased himself and the office of Governor by singling her out as someone who should "get" pro-life arguments because she herself was a child of a single mother, in addition to having been a teen single mother herself. Are you ready for Rick Perry's very own Bushism?
"How many young men and women across this country didn't get to accomplish what Wendy Davis just accomplished because they weren't born?"
Uh, the answer is none, Rick. Zero men and women across America got to accomplish what Wendy Davis did because they weren't born.
Do you think this kind of thing is something these idiots think back on a cringe about, or are they honestly too dense to get it?
Think before you speak, people...
...Wish you were here.
