    Wow, Perry is better than most avant-garde poets I’ve heard. 

  • Bucket

    I’d vote for him if he actually spoke like this.

    It’s much more sane than the things he says in real life.

  • citoyenmag

    Weird. People in Texas always call me “tamal-ee,” too. Is that a thing? Also, Kwanzaa CDs!!!

  • scifijazznik

    I was eating some trail mix when I watched this and I nearly choked.  I was disappointed to find out it was not done by Colbert SuperPAC.

    He’s out-Rumsfelding Rumsfeld.

  • bman08

    I’m going to take him up on those kwanza CDs. 

  • Brainspore

    Why have I not heard of Bad Lip Reading before now? That video almost cost me a keyboard.

    • Antinous / Moderator

      Watch the Blackeyed Peas one.

      • Brainspore

        Thanks a lot, asshole. I watched it last night and now I still can’t get the “everybody poops” chorus out of my head.

        • The Turtle

          I should not have ate those Cajun rice and beans…

      • The Turtle

        “…cause she got bowel issues…”

    • The Turtle

      Because you shunned Rebecca Black, and therefore, fine parody of Rebecca Black.

      She is the gateway drug.

    This is more lucid than he sounded in the most recent debate.

  • Antinous / Moderator

    I’ve never really looked at him before.  Is that a rug?  A bad rug?

    • http://www.jjsaul.com Jim Saul

      Molly Ivins used to call him “Lt. Governor Goodhair” and said he made the Bush family look like a bunch of Nobel laureates.

    Does a sex tape sans toupee of Rick Perry exist?

    Read my lips: No new Texans!

    The Black Eyed Peas one slayed me. I am writing from beyond the grave. Beware.

  • Lobster

    *snaps fingers*

  • wrecksdart

    You keep posting this stuff, but I AM TRYING TO WORK HERE!  Spilled my coffee, too…

  • The Turtle

    “HOT YELLA KOOL-AID!”

  • efemmeral

    ” I AM BORED BY FAMINE.  I CANNOT WAIT FOR A MEDIEVAL COOKIE . . . ”  Sweet Jesus, I love you people!

  • efemmeral

    I hate myself.   I got aroused watching him walk while saying, “Now, what I wanchatadoo is build me a small doghouse”.
