Well, it was inevitable. The problem with Perry from the start is that he ran on being the new George W. Bush. He had Bush’s “aw shucks” mentality, down-home ethics, and perception of a simpleton, but was lacking any of the charm or charisma that’s required to pull it off.

So what was that third thing Rick Perry wanted to eliminate? I’ve narrowed it down to 10 possibilities.

  1. The Department of Housing and Urban Development
  2. The Ministry of Silly Walks
  3. Penn State
  4. a stick of butter
  5. the Holy Spirit
  6. The Legislative Branch
  7. the Santa Maria
  8. Hank Williams, Jr.’s song for Monday Night Football
  9. that he’s ever gonna love you, even though he wants you and he needs you.
  10. N*****head
