Said on the TeeVee
Leno

Rick Perry attacked President Obama for thinking that he's the smartest guy in the room. He attacked him for being smart. One thing's for sure, nobody's ever going to accuse Rick Perry of that.

A Fox News reporter asked Herman Cain what he thought of President Obama's easing of travel restrictions to Cuba, and Cain accused him of asking a “gotcha” question. That's when you know things are bad: When you're attacking Fox News for being part of the liberal media.

There are 249 millionaires in Congress. Remember a couple of years ago when this new Congress told us they had the solution to the recession? Apparently, they didn't share it with the rest of us.



Letterman

Rick Perry announced today to satisfy environmentalists he is now using solar power. And this is brilliant thinking, using solar power to run the Texas electric chair.


Fallon

I read that Texas Gov. Rick Perry has challenged Nancy Pelosi to a debate. Yeah, Perry got the idea when he was like, “I can’t remember. Am I good or bad at debates?”

5. That number (435) has stuck with me ever since Ronald Reagan
got all huffy and puffy about "a self-appointed committee of 435 trying to tell me what to do."

I thought it was marvelously funny that he thought those guys appointed themselves to their seats in the House.

I had to listen to my republican family's adoration of him for eight looonnnngggg years. :puke:

I knew he had to be the dumbest, worst president ever in history, just an anomaly, until 2000....
