Perry: If Cain is Innocent, He Should Be Executed
Texas Governor Stirs Controversy with Latest Remarks
CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE
November 1, 2011

Rick Perry waded into the brouhaha over the sexual harassment charges against Republican presidential rival Herman Cain, telling reporters, “If it turns out he’s innocent, then he should be executed.”

Noting that the case against Mr. Cain was far from airtight, Gov. Perry said, “In Texas we’ve fried men for less than that.”

The Texas governor stopped short of saying that he would personally put Mr. Cain to death, but added, “I’ll tell you what, if I had to do it, I’d sleep like a baby that night.”

While the sexual allegations against Mr. Cain gained traction, the former CEO was said to be huddling with two of his closest advisors, Papa John and Little Caesar.

2. Wow.

The Onion really has nowhere to go with Perry, do they?

[no limit]

3. This isn't the onion

6. Yes, I know.

That's kind of my point.

As in: When actual headlines are as crazy as those at The Onion, they really have nowhere to go. I said it more as an observation of Perry's ridiculousness than the actual ability of writers at The Onion to come up with even wackier stuff about him.

8. It's not an actual headline, it's the Borowitz Report.

9. Andy Borowitz is a comedy/satire writer. It's just like an Onion story, actually. nt

5. Would Perry settle for the scalp of Cain's first born son?

I mean, Republicons do have some scruples, don't they?
