Gov. Rick Perry is the kind of politician many Texans seem to like: straight-talking, rigidly Christian, a bedrock conservative. His Lone Star State popularity apparently deluded him into believing he'd have a shot at national glory, yet when the rest of the country got a close look at him during his run for the GOP presidential nomination, it became clear that all wasn't quite right with the leather-faced former cotton farmer. It wasn't just his frequent gaffes and memory lapses; it was that at key times he didn't seem quite all there mentally, such as during a debate in Orlando, Fla., when his speech was so slurred that pundits questioned whether he had suffered a stroke or had been drinking beforehand.

2. " at key times he didn't seem quite all there mentally"

Oh hell that's not just at key times. That's pretty much all the time. That is Rick Perry and why he so embarrassing to us in Texas.

3. Every time I see the subject line of this post I am conflicted

I guess it is because my eyesight is not so good.

When I read the first part I get excited:

and then I realize it is about his failed campaign
