Perry Eyes June 1 Date to Announce Presidential Plans

[TexasTowelie]

Surprised that he isn't in the back seat behind the cage?

Former Gov. Rick Perry is putting a date on it — or at least an approximate one.

In an interview published Friday evening, Perry said he will announce "around the first of June" whether he will run for president in 2016, the most specific timeline he has given yet. He has been indicating for months he will disclose in late May or early June whether he will launch a second bid for the White House.

"I’ll make an announcement of my intentions around the first of June, so we’re about 30 days out from allowing that to be public, what we're going to do," Perry told a TV station in South Carolina.

Since his 2012 presidential campaign ended in embarrassment, Perry has been working hard to prepare more for the 2016 race, boning up on policy and spending more time in the early-voting states than many other potential candidates. Yet he has been stuck in the low single digits in early polling, and he remains under indictment on abuse-of-power charges in Travis County.

3. "Introducing...Perry 2.0!

The same light-hearted, anti-intellectual OOPSter as in 2012! But now featuring glasses!"

4. Our ex-governor Oops now wears glasses in public

Some might think it makes him look more academic, but it has been long speculated that he does it so that he can put one foot before the other while walking, instead of on top of each other, as was so often the case in the 2012 campaign.

8. He is definitely in the front seat of the clown car.

11. Why doesn't he just get a job as a lobbyist?

He'd make more money with a lot less hassle and potenial embarrassment. The fossil fuel companies don't care about his N-word-head hunting camp.

12. Then there is also the job of last resort...
