The S Word

"This morning Perry sounded a lot like a Ronald Reagan doll during his visit with radio talker Laura Ingraham.  [catching breath] And, this afternoon, energized by his participation in tea party activities, a manic [sic] Perry blurted out [gasp]  the “S” word - secession!"

Whew!  That breathless report is courtesy of a dude, "Greg G," using Lone Star Times  ink. Yup, if you want to tar someone as being deranged, comparing him to a "Ronald Reagan Doll." is the ticket.  If you're a politically tone deaf  canker blossom. I agree that hearing  the "S" word drop off the lips of  the Governor of Texas shocks, and it should.  So did the "I" word when Mark Helprin became the first national voice to call for Clinton's impeachment.  But, the latter needed doing,  and so too, most likely, the former.  Things have gone that far.  Let's do it with civility.  I'm looking to trade houses with some Austin pasty-face yahoo who will be far more comfortable in MD.  Snowblower included free.
