"The only humane thing to do." (LOL)

CONCORD, NH – In a move that they are calling “the only humane thing to do,” the other Republican candidates for President have agreed not to tell Texas governor Rick Perry where the next debate is being held.

The candidates reached the decision after a two-debate weekend in which Mr. Perry put in a performance that, in the words of former Utah governor Jon Huntsman, was “brave, but painful to watch.”

Immediately following the final New Hampshire debate on Sunday morning, an awkward scene unfolded onstage as Mr. Perry asked the other candidates, “So, where is everyone going now?”

“Um, I don’t know, Rick,” said former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, looking down at his shoes.


Good 'ole Andy Borowitz.

If so, have him bring a jar of pickled quail eggs and a box of red condoms to show he is really serious about the debate.

it's a passing whim....kind of like the GOP version of passing gas. Quick and always stinky compassion farts -- when they come out of ReTHUGS! Sure to wither that perfect Perry pompadour!

The passing whim never would extend to outsiders, like the rest of us.
