very slick looking site.

1. Thank goodness.

Now republicans can get better rate on a full size bus complete with a bathroom, instead of stuffing all the clowns into a 15 passenger van.

2. With or without the "smart" glasses? n/t

[dixiegrrrrl]

6. Lol...With!!!!!! go see....n/t

[TexasProgresive]

7. Rick Perry- the gift that keeps on giving.

Bush and then Perry- a pair of real Aggie jokes. My apologies to all Texas Aggies, but you got to be careful who you let wear the ring.

11. The snappy assistant-manager-at-a-J.C. Penney look.

3. What happened to his indictment?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

10. Good question !

At this point, Perry's best bet is a breakthrough at the 3rd Court of Appeals in Austin, where his lawyers are seeking to reverse Richardson's second refusal to throw out the case. A ruling is expected any day now, but even it could have an asterisk next to the outcome: One of the justices, Bob Pemberton, used to work for Perry and has so far resisted calls for recusal.

I imagine he will use the whole thing to his advantage - "sacred onstitutional power of governorship" bullshit

[Vinca]

4. Will he tell us what the third department is he wants to eliminate?

[truebluegreen]

12. I live in hope. nt

[merrily]

5. What a blow to truth, justice and the .......The third one. I can't. Oops.

[truebluegreen]

13. The future Minister for Justice speaks!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

8. Like Jon Stewart said about Graham's announcement "Thank You". He is

referring to the comedic value of it all. I can't believe we will miss his humor on the clown car. Hope he comes back to TV in some capacity for the election. Maybe a show like Bill Maher's?

9. Goodhair will not be the gop nominee

[CanonRay]

14. Excellent!

The more the merrier. By the time any actual voting rolls around, the GOP brand will be lunacy.

[dixiegrrrrl]

15. Plus...watching the elimination trials is a good alternative

to summer re-runs on tv.

Altho...would it not be fun if they had televised voice over announcers like those at golf or bowling shows?

[Tom_Foolery]

16. Next to Stephen Colbert's Late Show debut on Sept. 8th...

The Repuke debates will be the best comedy on TV.

[snooper2]

17. At this rate none of them will be able to get 10% ROFL, it is a great website though

Gotta give props to whoever he hired to do it-

But remember we need glasses to be in the race...pure comedy gold!

[dixiegrrrrl]

18. You gave me a thought....

I'm gonna check out the Republican clown car members 'sites.

[lpbk2713]

19. The GOP will have to use a Greyhound bus for their clown car.

[magical thyme]

20. slick website IF you are on chrome or another up-to-date browser

on internet explorer 9 (w/vista, I can't go to 10) the site is disaster.

Had to turn on the sound of the video. Apparently he's running on a campaign of bi-partisanship, telling the truth and doing the right thing.

a lot of nothing.

and he pouts an awful lot. shows up in the profile shots.

pretty darn boring, tbh.

[dixiegrrrrl]

24. the site freezes my puter on Firefox. Praise Jeebus! It's a sign!

God has spoken, telling me to stay away from it.

[magical thyme]

26. awesome! A "slick" site that doesn't work....

[KamaAina]

21. Aa-ooooo, werewolves of Austin!

da-da, his hair was perfect....

[magical thyme]

22. in honor of his announcement, and as a preview of the intellect to come...

[Agschmid]

23. Ugh.

[Buns_of_Fire]

25. I hear TLC is looking for a replacement for the Duggers.

Coming this fall: "I Wanna Be President!" A new comedy-drama-reality show loosely based on "Big Brother" with 25-or-so wacky contestants all confined in a Greyhound bus. Once a week, one will be voted off the bus, and much hilarity will ensue.

There y'go, TLC. You're welcome.

[jeff47]

27. Feel the....um...Per? The ick? (nt)

[HassleCat]

28. Thinking of Molly

I just wish Molly Ivins could be here to enjoy this.

29. Will his cowboy hat match his straitjacket?
