Chupacabra Report

The San Antonio Express-News’ Peggy Fikac reports that the Rick Perry Campaign has offered door prizes to supporters who sign up registered voters. The big prize is eighteen holes of golf with Rudolph Giuliani. The second prize thirty-six holes of golf with Rudolph Giuliani. This is Perry’s reward for backing the wrong horse in the 2008 primaries, where Rudy found that his monster ego, which propelled him into the limelight after the Sept 11 attacks when Bush and Cheney were still hunkered in the bunker, was not enough to get voters over his colorful personal life, which includes marrying his cousin and moving his mistress into New York’s Gracie Mansion. At least Giuliani’s mansion didn’t burn down.

Seriously, Perry’s campaign has a ways to go in the glitz department. He might could get Pat Boone, the geriatric white-bread rug model, who recently called for the White House to be fumigated. He’s got Ted Nugent, the gun-nut draft dodger turned chickenhawk who shows up at events to shred The Star Spangled Banner. And don’t forget his fellow secessionist Chuck Norris, a right-wing nut with his own joke generator.

The Bill White campaign was awarding tickets to a private concert at Jerry Jeff Walker’s home. Jerry Jeff, the man who first drove Jimmy Buffet to Margaritaville; wouldn’t you rather stretch out on that Navajo Rug with some Sangria Wine and enjoy some gonzo country music? This is just another example of the bad company Governor Perry keeps.
