Welcome home, Rick
I suppose it was inevitable. Rick Perry was simultaneously too outspoken and too informal for the Democrat-loving, Republicans-must-be-perfect Legacy Media to give an even break. Besides, he was from Texas—a place they are well-known to hate and mock.
One thing the Old Aggie’s short-lived 2011-12 presidential campaign will be remembered for, however, is this signature line: “Are you better off today than you were $4 trillion ago?”
We might even expect to see possible nominee Romney (aka Mittens or Dudley-Do-Right, the man who’s afraid of his own shadow) use it, at least in some campaign ads. If he’s not too busy acting deferential (like McCain did), running against the Tan Man.
So welcome home, Rick. We’re glad to have you back where you belong. Now I’m for South Carolina winner Newt Gingrich, whose case for the nomination is a good one. Especially because he is not (and never will be) the least bit deferential to Obozo or his palace guards in the media.

What we see is what we get. Obozo’s palace guard media will fight any nominee with tooth and claw. All depends on how much the 2008 Obama voter has wised up.

Dunno. The 2012 GOP crop is not all it was supposed to be. But what do I know?
