Sorry for the crudity, but I really can’t describe this any other way – from The New Yorker via Ann Althouse:
…Perry is the first graduate of Texas A & M to govern Texas. When he was a freshman, in 1968, the student body looked much like him: white, male, determinedly rural. Aggie jokes of the country-bumpkin variety are still standard fare in Texas. (“How many Aggies does it take to screw in a light bulb? One, but he gets three hours of credit.”) At A & M, Perry ran the winning campaign of his friend John Sharp for student-body president. In response, Sharp got his friend elected one of the campus’s five “yell leaders”—male cheerleaders. Perry considered being a yeller the higher office. A typical yell is: “Squads left! Squads right! / Farmers, farmers, we’re all right! / Load, ready, aim, fire, BOOM!” During tense moments in a football game, yellers grab their balls and shout, “Squeeze, Aggies!”…
As one comment noted over at Instapundit put it, the worry here for liberals is that Perry apparently has a pair to squeeze.
If you read the whole article, it is just a crude attempt to paint Governor Perry as some sort of overly masculine cowboy-barbarian…not at all like sweet, gentle, Ivy League-educated George Bush. To be sure, “Squeeze, Aggies!” is bizarre – but, then again, its Texas. The bottom line is that they tend to shoot at the people who need to be shot and back up those who deserve help; you really have to be some post-modernist metrosexual to get your nighty in a knot over Texas…so, naturally, liberals are well knotted.
They are deathly afraid of Rick Perry….perhaps even more fearful than they have ever been about Sarah Palin. The thing about Perry (and Palin and Bachmann and Cain) is that they are just regular folks from the heartland who live and believe like regular Americans. If they think about the Ruling Class, at all, it is with a mixture of bemusement and contempt. People like Perry really will go to DC to change things…and not care a whit whether or not the Ruling Class is offended by it.
And it will be one heck of a lot of fun to watch…

Hillary has just as big of cajones as Perry does.
Perry is hated by the libs and loathed by the rethug establishment. The man must be doing something right or is too good to be true.
Rick Perry, President of the United States of America and leader of the free world. Yeah!!!…another airhead, gun-toting Texas cowboy with his finger on the button. Yep, hot diggity dog, that’s just what we all need and wish for. By all means, let’s forego intelligent leadership, shall we, and embrace blowhard bluster, ignorance and devisive rhetoric.
Yes, I’m sure there is a certain segment of the American population that think Mr. Perry is the perfect fellow to sit in the Oval Office, GMB, but I doubt that the majority of voters (Right & Left) hold that same opinion.
Whats wrong there C.O.? NDP not having a good time up there?
markticle:
agree with some of your testification
but
cmon…..rick perry not equal to regular american
What is a regular American?
GMB
some morons (bangee) looney leftist view.
bagni,
Grew up hard working and made it far in life…a very American success story.
That sounds like our President. I agree with you Mark.
bags,
I am going to go out on a limb and say that I sincerely believe that Perry is much more equal to the “regular American” than you are.
Let see, Rick Perry went to college, served in the U.S. Airforce and farmed before he went into politics. Seems like a regular guy to me.
Perry Has Testicles
so did weiner………
but je$$e was going to cut the marxist muslims off.
bwany was holding the basket.
I guess if you spend close to 3 months on the golf coarse and another 3 months on vacation that would qualify you as a regular american?
I wonder if Golf Cart 1 is due for maintainence yet?
it is in the shop as the grifters drift in the canadian coffin/bus seeking accolades from the useful idiot drones.
green,
did you worry so much about the President’s vacation plans when it was a GOP member in the white house?
You’re the epitome of a hypocrite. Have fun voting for Romney in the elections next fall!
have fun playing switch later tonight tommyturban
Bush in his first 31 months spent 270 days on vacation. Obama, over the same period, 70 days.
Facts do not count on this blog. 1st rule here – NEVER compare Obama with Bush. Does not count.
The Rove Machine despises both Rick Perry and Sarah Palin. The Rove machine has no influence over either one. Those two could not be up to something could they? Naw, not at all.
we could only pray they are.
green,
Palin won’t run in my opinion, and if she did, she’d get demolished in the primaries by the other candidates…namely Perry and Romney.
Perry is a nutcase, take it from me, I see his policies at work everyday in our State.
Thomas,
Yeah, all that job creation and stuff must be terrible…too bad Perry isn’t as good a governor as California’s Jerry Brown, huh?
Mark,
obviously you don’t know anything about Texas.
the 27 billion dollar shortfall in the budget was a great thing. having one of the worst education systems in the country is wonderful. having the largest portion of people uninsured is just great! having the highest percentage of low paying jobs is the best! having unemployment go UP is absolutely amazing!
you really like your talking points huh? maybe you don’t read anything other than the American Thinker…but the rest of the nations isn’t like you. they actually think for themselves.
turbantommy
build the fence, send the rest home, education, jobs flourish, crimes down and America becomes beautiful again.
of course toss out the islamic trash also.
so you think it’s realistic to ship out about 20 million people and stop them from ever coming back?
and you think that all 20 million are so bad that if you ship them out, america becomes beautiful again?
newsflash doofus, america isn’t beautiful, and it ain’t because of minorities. it’s because of white supremacists like you.
you’d fit in nice with my grandpa in WWII in his 2nd panzer division, Das Reich.
Thomas,
Actually, everything you say is just a talking point…and when did you move to Texas?
At any rate…I note, with great care, that Rick Perry was re-elected last year with 55% of the vote after he won with only a plurality of 39% in 2006…the people of Texas must think he’s doing a good job.
I see tommy-boy is regurgitating the same old dumbed down talking point lies that have been debunked here time and again.
Nothing changes even in the mind of an useful idiot drone.
He even still regurgitates the lie that we are paying less taxes than ever – even after being proven wrong sooooooooo many times.
Pathetic.
It truly is hilarious how regularly you call facts “lies,” tired. It’s as if you have no concept whatsoever of what those words mean; it also indicates serious learning disabilities as you have been schooled on this countless times. Taxes are at a 50-year low. Them’s the facts, slappy. Facts that you, sadly, utterly lack the ability to deal with. Poor li’l fella.
Mark,
you’re completely off the reservation.
so factual information about Texas is now a talking point. Man, i can’t wait til the election.
PPP Poll: Perry Takes Double-Digit Lead Over Romney
are you stupid or what????
La di da.
tommyhamas
a complete LOON,/ hamas agent calling Perry a “nutcase”????
Ahhhhhhhh ha ha ha ha ha
uhhhhhh sure tommyhamas, LOL LOL
any more of this projection and we will land on the starship enterprise.
All those low paying jobs are not “green job” so they are worhless. I think this low paying job thingy has been debunked already but what is the point.
Latest poll out of florida has Perry beating bams 46% to 39%. Things can change but it is not looking good for messiah right now.
Would love to see the nomination come down to Palin versus Perry just to watch all the moonbat eyeball popping.
GMB
al-hussein has screwed himself with the south florida Jewish community.
Maybe they will wake up one day and realize it is marxism and islam that wants them eradicated from the face of the earth.
The donk party is 100% behind both, talk about blinders?
neo,
is that part of your wet dream? just like spook wondering why minorities don’t vote for the GOP……..hmmm…I wonder why????
I wonder why????
OPM
Next?
who said jobs have to be green jobs to be good? is that one of your stereo types of people who don’t agree with you?
and the low paying jobs hasn’t been debunked you drone, it’s FACT. look it up.
also, what’s the latest poll do for you in August of 2011….a whole 15 months before the election?
Palin versus Perry just to watch all the moonbat eyeball popping.
If it does, Im investing heavy in duct tape.
Full body armor would be my choice. Don’t want all that blood and goo getting on my skin. Yuck.
green,
you need some mental help.
let’s make a friendly bet.
neither Perry, or Palin will be the GOP nominee. It will be Romney or Huntsman.
what do you say?
And a riot shield too. Make sure it is the kind that is flash reductive. Don’t want to blinded when all those libbies start tossing barakococktails all over the place.
turbans and flying carpets all over the place.

2nd Panzer Division? Was that a typo or does it prove you have absolutely no knowledge of what you are talking about. Oompa would never have said zweiten panzer division. Oompa would have said zweiten SS panzer division. Oh well just another misspeak by a looney tuney libbie. 😛 Means nothing, move along.
the “white supremacists” accusation coming from a family of nazis and iranians is beautiful……..ROTFL
turmantommy
is this you and your family sasan??
The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), a conservative advocacy group that favors tighter immigration laws, argues that the answer is clear: illegal aliens cost U.S. taxpayers more than $100 billion each year.
Jack Martin, director of special projects for FAIR, says the group is still working on its estimate, but believes undocumented workers leave taxpayers with a fat bill, considering that the government spends money on the workers, and they almost never pay income taxes.
“The study of the fiscal effects of illegal immigration clearly demonstrates that it is a burden on the American taxpayer,” says Martin. More forceful implementation of immigration laws could save each U.S. household “in the neighborhood of a couple of thousand dollars a year.”
Has anyone blamed Bush for the earthquake in Virginia yet? Didn’t bams inherit this too?
GMB
W is out in the blame game.
IN is the eeeeevil, racist, bigot, homophobe, terrorist, WHITE TEA party.
camon get with it…..
It’s the Tea Parties fault for the quake? Awesome, I’ll add this to the list. 🙂
PS
ever notice waspstooge and turbantommy both show around the same time?
One serial posts on one or two threads, and the other serial posts on a different thread, but never on the same thread?
(soon to change after my exposure of their lil Agent provocateur scam)
then both slink away almost simultaneously?
OT at media matters for the trolls.
Oh neoconehead grandpa faker,
How many more conspiracy theories you have up your sleeve?
Do you still think the Obama birth certificate is a fake? Or let me guess, you think we are being run over by communists who are the same as fascists and nazis right?
Idiot old man. You suffer from dementia?
Mark, Are the comments going to be available in the archive section at any time in the future?
I am pretty sure they are the same person. Would love to get a peek at the admin page just to see how many socks we have here. Keeps things interesting 🙂
Another theory would be one of the owners playing devils advocate, just for fun. Spanky chuckles did it for a long time at lgf. That would not happen here right? 😛
Green,
It must be fun having so many theories as to who people are on a blog. Much easier than actually debating them huh?
I bet you and neo are the same person, and mark and tired are the same person. There, I can play that game to.
Idiot
Its clear he’s got very little else. So by all means set the bar low. Used to be if you wanted to indicate how low the bar was you would say anyone with a heartbeat qualifies. But it looks like even that was too much for Perry. Keep in mind, even corpses have testicles.
Idiot??? LOL. Thats all all you have??? Come back after the coke wears off and try again.
Clearly Thomas is clueless. Insults are the best he can do.
Ahhh, another bad memory heard from. 😦
Debate you? Please do not make me laugh. There is no debating you. You are here to make pronouncements and to dictate. There is no point in arguing with people like you. See you on the field someday. 🙂
What happened to the Rick Perry is gay theme?
What happened with the guy advertising for people that havehad sex with Rick Perry?
Those went awfully quiet awfully quick.
“They are deathly afraid of Rick Perry….perhaps even more fearful than they have ever been about Sarah Palin.” statement by Noonan
Mark, do you have any evidence to back up this statement? Deathly afraid? Really??? Please provide some proof that this is true. I have yet to hear anyone of the left indicate any fear of either Perry or Palin. Do you live in such a tiny little world that you have no idea what is going on in America? I predict that if the Republicans continue with their current message the voters will once again put them out of office. How do you feel about the non-townhall meetings this summer OR in the alternative, you have to pay to see your representative? Do that cause you pause? If not, I think it should.
The average American is not far right like the group of posters here that back you up on every nonsensical essay you write bashing Obama and supporting every far right candidate. The average American is pretty much in the middle, believing that we need to cut spending, but that everything needs to be put on the table. The average American is not comfortable with the far right nor the far left. Both of these groups are outside the norm of their philosophical ideals. The GOP will have a lot of problems if either Perry or Palin end up with the nomination for president. I just do not see it happening. As much as I dislike Karl Rove he is pretty right on with what he is telling the Republicans. Hopefully no one will take his advice.
Whenever somebody points out the obvious flaws and blatant shortcomings of a Republican, the wingnut party line is that “liberals are afraid of” that Republican. It’s their way of closing their eyes, sticking their fingers in their ears, and screaming, “Lalalalalala!”
Speaking from experience again there jeffy?
You drones do that day in and day out. When proven wrong at every turn you wander off to perform that little ritual you describe, only to return later and regurgitate the same nonsense and lies as before.
Already your drone brethren hava abandoned threads in which they have been proven to be the mindless drones that they are. Unfortunately, they will be back since that is what useful idiots do.
Awwww, sorry, did I touch a nerve by pointing out the obvious, tired? Well, kiddo, you’re just going to have to learn how to deal with it, OK? I know it’s a scary prospect but, well, you’re going to have to do it at some point. Best of luck to you.
