Last Call

Rick Perry loves maple syrup, folks.



With all the insanity over Herman Cain's high-speed train wreck into a 137-car pileup, I think this is the real political story of the week.



Cain may walk away from the events this week. But Perry's "college open mic night at the Improv routine" here? Nope. Done. And the only reason we're not all laughing at this idiot is that we're too busy laughing at Herman Cain right now.

What I walk away from after seeing all this is just how apt the comparisons are between Perry and Dubya. There's no doubt that the exact same sort of Animal House frat-boy "Now watch this drive!" center-of-attention nonsense is the true motivation of Rick Perry as it was of Bush Jr. and all.

Perry looks like Will Farrell channeling Dubya if he was running today. Period.
