Hey Ricky – does it trouble you
You’re twice as dumb as W?
Your “brain” can barely grasp Game Boy by Sega
But brains is not your “thing” because
Half your head is filled with gauze
You’ve got the IQ of a rutabaga
We love the things that make you fun
Like jogging with a loaded gun
A Ruger that I think is made in Munich
But roads are filled with tricky ruts
One day you’ll shoot off Ricky’s nuts
Like Ralph Reed you’ll be one more cutesy eunuch
Oh Ricky –
You don’t think that we need healthcare
Oh Ricky –
To your “mind” it’s just like welfare
Oh Ricky –
You’re a Medicare apostate
I hope you –
Sure can finger your own prostate
Now you say you’ve “stepped in it”
But I’d say you’re adept in it
I think the Texas weather’s fried your neurons
Debating’s not your thing so far
It shows how uninformed you are
You’d be my choice to do a “dumb” brochure on
Boy, I hope you run my man
You’ll melt down when shit hits the fan
And You Tube will be there in spades to viddy it
If you should run and somehow win
Austin’ll lose to Washington
One perfectly good spaced-out village idiot

You are so good at these, Tony! And I agree with the others. Do you know anyone who can rap and wants some exposure? They could do all the work for the You Tube vids as long as you get credit for the writing. Just a thought…

Posted by barkinginthedark | November 14, 2011, 12:33 amHysterical. It’s good to laugh or I might cry to think that this could be the guy. Oy vey please help us god, don’t let us suffer this clown clod. Hey Tony, it’s infectious. Love this post you wrote my friend and I would hope that of Rick Perry it would be the end. But then it’s good to laugh a lot and so for that we’ll suffer the blot. Well I’m just not as good at it as you are but you serve as inspiration. Keep doing it.

It would be amazing and take off like wildfire right now. Sorry to be a nudge. I do respect your desire to kick back a bit. However, you’re so good at kickin’ ass and God knows, he is one big ass on the scene right now…

I never thought that anyone would make former President Bush (the 2nd) look like a serious man. And there’s Perry.
Talk about the soft bigotry of low expectations. Texans should be ashamed that this guy passes for a leader. I realize Texas considers itself separate from the rest of the south, but Perry is exactly the dim-bulb, buffoonish, yeeeehaw Southern guy they insist they aren’t.
