Texas Gov. Rick Perry, based on everything I’ve read about him, is not very bright. Not merely incurious or overly reliant on his gut, like George Bush, but genuinely just sort of dimwitted.
Andy McCarthy of National Review, based on everything I’ve read of his, ought to be locked up in a mental ward somewhere. I really, sincerely, don’t understand why NR continues to associate itself with him. There’s gotta be a line somewhere, after all.
But guess what? Perry and McCarthy have apparently teamed up! If Perry decides to run, this really has the makings of an epic disaster. I can hardly wait.
