Perry Watch - WTF Happened In New Hampshire?

Oct 31, 2011

Gov Rick Perry's recent appearance in Manchester, New Hampshire has raised more than a few eyebrows. I am not the only one who thinks he was seriously intoxicated. It's the only plausible explanation.

A Little Liberal Catharsis

Feeling a little gloomy over yesterday's results in the NY-9 race? Well, this might help. Meet a guy named Brian. He's a big time Ron Paul fan. To be fair, if he was spouting drunken nonsense in support of my own causes, I still would've had to post it. Via TPM:

"A Ron Paul fan named Brian got drunk in Montana one night and was pulled over for allegedly driving under the influence. National Geographic's cameras were there.

"The Constitution is your right!" he yells in a clip that aired on National Geographic's Frontier Force and was posted on YouTube this week. "Why can't you guys just assume to me that this is my Constitutional right."

It Would Be Funny... But...

If you haven't yet read Matt Taibbi's most recent column on Speaker John Boehner, you really must. Here's one of the choice anecdotes:

"Of all the longtime Republican Beltway hacks who are now scrambling to find ways to throw enough sunshine on the Tea Party mob to keep their jobs, Boehner has been the most hilariously transparent. In yet another scene straight out of a screwball comedy — maybe it was an earlyhommage to the now-departed Leslie Nielsen — Boehner in November 2009 stood up in front of a crowd of Tea Partiers who had gathered to protest the upcoming Obamacare vote, and tried to stroke his audience by holding up a copy of the Constitution. Professing his love for the sacred document, Boehner pledged to "stand here with our Founding Fathers, who wrote in the preamble: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident.'" The crowd was silent. Boehner had confused the Constitution with the Declaration of Independence."

At this juncture, I can't tell if he's more drunk than stupid or simply an ignorant drunk.
