Rick Perry Too Cool for School

Governer Rick Perry, who has yet to express the slightest bit of regret for his blatantly homophobic rant against gay veterans three weeks ago, was caught on camera after a TV interview on Monday practicing his schoolyard slang. His words?

"Adios, mofo."

Were this 1999 and Perry not cruising past middle age, "mofo" might have been appropriate. Adorable, even.

After the embarrassing quip, Perry was quick to call back the Houston TV network and apologize for being tragically un-hip, assuring reporters that he acted without "malice or intent."

Our conservative governor acting out of malice or intent? Absurd!

Cannot believe the media- national media- isn't covering the highlights of this guy's actions every day?!?! I rush to see John Stewart each night thinking that people must be facinated by the dribble coming out of his mouth, but no? Amazing!

...however, apparently he does have a fan club- saw a shiny black suburban just the other day with one new bumper sticker on the left side of the back window, "we believe in god, tx longhorns and george w. bush," on the other side was a new Rick Perry '06 sticker...

His comments/backtracking were that he was speaking to his communications director and not the reporter, but either way he felt sorry for its inappropriateness.

Hmmm..

OK.

then he took the hamster out of his arse.

SHKREENK!
