PERRY WINKLE
Some more fun on the GOP side.
Perry is in the race and has made a fool of himself about once a day. Sometime twice.
Today he told a kid he didn't know how old the earth is and figures no one really knows.
They do. It is 4.5 billion years and the science is pretty sure. Almost certain. So someone knows. I don't expect Perry to.
But then the kid's mom asked about evolution and Perry admitted there was something to it. But in Texas they teach both evolution and creationism.
I was surprised to hear this is not true. They do not teach creationism.
And I should not know this but Perry should. He is the governor.
This isn't a big deal but it is an indication of how everything and I mean everything he says is in the heat of the media spotlight.
I read recently how difficult it is to do what he is doing. Starting late in the campaign. It is a very difficult performance and most candidates start slow, sometimes a year early, to get the kinks out and develop a personna.
They also say that he is a smart campaigner but not too bright. A short time to get your message clear and not show your ignorance. Actually, Bachman made the same mistake and she is hitting her stride but they have lots of tape on her slips. The stuff she hadn't learned to gloss over.
And, of course, neither may expect to be nominated at all. They might be working out the kinks in this race to come back in 2016. that would be smart.
Another thing about Perry. He puts lie to the belief that a good looking guy is a good candidate. He is very good looking. He is a disaster as a candidate. Well, for us.
