Perry thinks Solynda is a ....country!!!!!!

"No greater example of it than this administration sending millions of dollars into the solar industry, and we lost that money," Perry began. "I want to say it was over $500 million that went to the country Solynda."

Solyndra, a company which manufactured high-tech solar energy panels, went bankrupt this year after receiving $535 million in federal loan guarantees.

Yep, CNN caught him saying this 2 days ago.

And good ole Juanita Jean was prompt in her remarks about it:

"Uh, was that West Solyndra or East Solyndra? And the capitol of Solynda is New Halliburton. Main export? Utah. Newly elected President of Solynda? Bananas.

Y’all, seriously, his head ain’t screwed on right.

Momma, who is Christian lady who rarely speaks ill of anyone unless they cuss, was trying to be nice today when she told a store clerk in the sweetest 86 year old voice, “I think there’s something wrong with him. I think he needs a doctor, not a campaign manager.”
Momma nailed that one."

dumbed down. Don't they realize they are being taken for a ride. When are they going to smarten up and elect more democrats who really care for the working poor. Surely they aren't that stupid.

There was an original of that saying around, something to the effect of
"ignorance can be fixed
stupid lasts forever"

I saw it on a t-shirt....

the other one I liked ( I know, I am wicked) is
"he drowned in the shallow end of the gene pool"

i left Texas for about 20 years (married AF), it was blue when I left and when I returned, it had turned red. I could tell, just from talking to my dumb neighbors. I have to travel far from home to meet up with other Dems and be able to talk sense.. i guess that's why I joined Moveon and DOCC (Democrats of my County), it's refreshing to talk to other smart people instead of just the Stepford wives that I have to deal with on a daily basis.

in ElPaso, TX when my dad was station what use to be Biggs, AFB. I think they call it Bliss Field (or something like that). I use to love it there. My mom didn't want to retire there because of the heat. We retired to Italy where she was from. Dad couldn't find a job at the military bases so we came back to PA. No jobs there and we moved to Maryland. Heck I've lived many states and countries until my husband retired here in TN. Not exactly the place I wanted but I learned to love the peace and quiet. I don't worry about much. Neighbors are ok they are busy and I don't really socialize with them. Some of them like to drink and I am not into that. Also do lots of farm work (while drunk) and I don't do that.

You know he meant country. This is the kind of over-the-top creating a scandal from a blunder crap Republicans do. Resist the urge, they say enough fully-intentioned stupid sh*t we don't need to do lowblows.
