"What a weird year"

That is Gail Collins observation today as she laments the termination of Rick Perry's presidential campaign.

Such as it was.

Rick Perry Meets His Alamo

The column is filled with choice bits. Perry was a favorite target. This means that Collins had to fire off all her ammo on this farewell page.

As a presidential candidate in 2015, Perry’s only talent seemed to be getting money from very rich acquaintances. His political action committee still had cash, but it wasn’t allowed to coordinate with the candidate, or give his campaign any of its money. By the end Perry had no staff, and he was wandering like a Labrador retriever being pulled around by a helium balloon attached to his collar.

It remains to be seen whether the GOoPer slate will diminish slowly or suddenly. In the meantime it is fine to just watch and see the obvious losers drop off the bandwagon.
