Has gay marriage personally unemployed you?
It's a quote simply too stupid to be believed. I mean, you really want to call up the reporter and ask him to play you his tape or look at his notes. Really, the Governor of Texas said this?
"There is still a land of opportunity, friends — it's called Texas," Perry said. "We're creating more jobs than any other state in the nation. ... Would you rather live in a state like this, or in a state where a man can marry a man?"
Governor Rick Perry, he of the 70's gay porn hairdo and swishy reputation, actually vocalized these words. Yes, these thoughts, these two random, entirely un-related thoughts merged together in his brain and exited his mouth.
Logical, ain't it? I was thinking just the other day that I would start a new small business, and then I thought, well, gay marriage. I mean, what's the point?
Let me engage what I theorize was the thought process, from live inside Rick Perry's brain:
Rick Perry's Brain: Mmmm. Bbq. So tasty. I love meat. Hehe. I certainly love meat. Look at that big buck over there in the corner. I bet he's got some juicy sausage for me. Mmmm. Gay sex. Mmmm.
Reporter: Governor, what have you been doing about job growth in Texas?
Rick Perry's Brain: Oh dang, another stupid question about our fucked economy. Must. Not. Think. About. Gay. Sex. Hum. Economy. Got it. Now open your mouth wide Ricky Boy...
Rick Perry's Mouth: "There is still a land of opportunity, friends — it's called Texas. We're creating more jobs than any other state in the nation... Would you rather live in a state like this, or in a state where a man can marry a man?"
I mean, what other explanation is there?
