Rick Perry meets with Rummy and Feith

[cali]

Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld helped organize Rick Perry's foreign policy and national security briefing in Austin last Wednesday, Rumsfeld's staff confirmed today.

Perry's aides have been tight-lipped about the gathering, which National Review reported included former Rumsfeld aides Doug Feith, Daniel Fata, and William Luti, as well as the magazine's Andrew McCarthy and others . But I'm told Rumsfeld helped steer Perry's staff to the low-key advisory group, and his detainee adviser Cully Stimson was also invited, but couldn't attend.

The connection was fortuitous: The two men know each other but don't have a particularly close relationship; however Rumsfeld's research director, Victoria Coates, has friends on Perry's staff and made the connection.

1. That alone should disqualify

Perry fro the Presidency.

Those two treasonous bastards - who could ever learn anything useful about foreign policy, national security or defense from them?

2. You know, Rick said God speaks to him.

I can't even imagine the possibility of Perry being president, the thought is horrific. It would be Bush all over again but WORSE. He'd appoint Rummy Defense Sectretary again.

3. Perry scares me. I think he could win.

8. Same here. I've been saying that for a while.

He is right behind Bachmann in the polls.... he could move up when she inevitably fizzles out.
