After running one of the most horrible presidential campaigns in modern history, Texas Gov. Rick Perry quit before the South Carolina primary and is retreating back to his home state where, obviously, they have a high tolerance for low-brow politicians and have instituted an expensive welfare program for the mentally-incapacitated called The Governorship. Apparently, down in the Lone Star state of mindlessness, if you can wave a pistol around, babble about Gee-zus, and wear boots with your suits, you’re in. (Democrats need not apply.) An unnamed source says that if Perry runs for governor again, he would definitely be defeated in the general election, or primaried by a Teabagger even crazier than himself; Perry’s sin is he let people see just how appallingly dumb are Texas pols and embarrassed the state before the world, as if that’s possible in the wake of the bumbling Crawford Dauphin, George W. Bush.
Rick Perry quits Republican presidential race

Jan. 19, 2012Texas govenor Rick Perry announced his decision to withdraw from the GOP presidential race and back former House speaker Newt Gingrich on Thursday. At a press conference in Charleston, flanked by his wife, he said ‘there is no viable path forward for me in the 2012 campaign. Therefore today I am suspending my campaign and endorsing Newt Gingrich’. Perry had plummeted in the polls after several disappointing debate showings.
