All these new polls from Iowa and New Hampshire, and everybody is talking about Willard Mitt Romney (looking good), Newt Gingrich (looking bad), Ron Paul (ugh), and Rick "Don't Google My Name" Santorum (looking very good). Ha! We cats told you there'd be a place in the sun for Ricky S. someday.
But in spite of all this, we'd just like to take a moment to discuss the most hapless gun in the West, Rick Perry.
Yes, we know the timing might be a little weird, since the longtime Governor of Texas has kinda faded into the wallpaper of late. But he's also just caught our attention on a couple of things — and we don't want them to fall into the dustbin of campaign history without commenting.
The first is his new stance on abortion. The guy is so desperate to appeal to the Christian Taliban in Iowa that now he says all procedures should be prohibited, even in cases of rape, incest or danger to the woman's life. We cats are always unimpressed when men pontificate on the issue of choice. But we're doubly so when somebody with the equipment to rape tries to tell victims what they can and cannot do.
The second is the much less emotional but still critical issue of money. The pundits are weighing in on whether a poor showing in Iowa will doom Perry since he has "little cash left." Ya know, we pretty much remember how after they raised $17 million despite a late entry into the race, the Perry camp bragged about their prudent budgeting and how they'd be flush enough to compete in all the early states. Hm.
Another tall Texas tale, we guess. We cats HISS.
