Gail Collins' op-ed in NY Times.
Great Fun. Worth the read if you haven't used up your 20 free reads this month yet.

1. Love this quote:
"But it was impossible to watch that debate without realizing that Perry is not presidential timber, or even presidential polyurethane. "

:rofl:

2. How about this one?
It is true that the nation has elected incoherent Texans to the White House before. But the first one had been vice president. And when George W. Bush was marching through the primaries, saying things that made no sense whatsoever, Republican voters told one another that if he got into trouble, he could always ask his parents for advice. I swear to you, that came up a lot. But I always thought it was an excuse, to cover the fact that they were really just trying to avoid John McCain.

I hadn't seen a clip or read a transcript of Perry's attempts to speak... damn, that was funny.
