John Podhoretz at Commentary Magazine posted an article about Rick Perry’s announcement that he is running for President.  In the article, Mr. Podhoretz quotes the new candidate:

“I will work every day to make Washington, DC as inconsquential in your life as I can,”

That is an idea I really like. 

Mr. Podhoretz concludes his article by saying:

“Most people outside Texas know very little about Perry, but given his standing as a kind of amalgam of George W. Bush and Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee, he may soon occupy an unprecedented position in the imagination of liberals and the Left—perhaps the most frightening specter of anti-liberalism since Ronald Reagan​ precisely because he is electable. The conservative boogeyman is back.”

In the next few days look for the media to uncover all sorts of negative things about Rick Perry.  Someone will report that when he was five he tried to give the family cat a bath or that when he was two he ate the dog’s food.  Look for it.  It began with the leaking of Governor Perry’s grades at Texas A&M.  Notice that we have yet to see President Obama’s grades or college record.  Don’t hold your breath.  Anyway, look for the attack stories, they are on their way!
