Thank goodness for kissmybigbluebutt.com or I'd have missed the watch party event of the year! Somehow I was unaware that tonight a debate in Denton, TX between Gov. Rick Perry, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson, and Debra Medina will be on for an entire hour. The WWF ain't got nothing on these folks!
The Texas Tribune has published a list of TV stations that will be running "Divas Debate in Denton" here. PBS, Channel 8, will have the Houston broadcast at 7 CST. In HD!
The hair will be big, the facts will be few, and, to quote Eljefebob, the entertainment value will be HUGE.
My recommendation for drinking games: Take a shot every time you hear the following words or phrases (choose only one, or alcohol poisoning my take effect):
Kay "Bailout" Hutchinson
Secession
Tea
10th Amendment
Feel free to add more in the comment section. I'd also like to make a prediction:
Rick Perry will continually hurl the word "Washington" around until Kay Bailey reminds him that it is not an adjective and challenges him to spell it. We'll all find out what Debra Medina looks like but probably will not know what her voice sounds like. The cat claws will come out before the debate even begins when the moderator is deemed too liberal because they were once associated with George Will.
Boy, this is gonna be fun.
Well, not to be self-aggrandizing, but yeah, I noticed they're like twin idiots. Really, it's reminiscent of friends (dumb and dumber, I assume they're not related) that have spent way too much time together. Or, they could be the same shapeshifter.
I only caught snippets on the news this morning. Thank God for evening meetings that keep me away from Perry/Hutchinson/Medina.
I think they're all three batshit crazy idiots. And Gov. Goodhair is such a fool that he didn't realize that the law allowing hospitals to cut off care for terminally ill patients (against the family wishes) was signed by GWB while he, Perry, was Lt. Gov.?
Jesus. I knew I despised him when he was Lt. Gov. and he has never done anything to disprove my opinion.
The Three Stooges.
God help us, we have them in Texas until we can ship them out of Austin.
Molly Ivins must be spinning in her grave.
I THOUGHT that was what she said. She actually looked like she was experienceing episodes of dementia. I'm serious and NOT making fun of that because I am only 56..........Ok, I'm really 57, and I find myself repeating things sometimes.

Actually no, but now that you mention it they do sound very much alike.
The Roe V Wade dissertation was unitelligable. At one point she said that she didn't support making abortions illegal because if they were illegal more people would have partial birth abortions so the best way to fight abortion was to keep it legal and restrict it - she managed to confuse everyone and look like she was lying to both pro-choice and pro-life!
Buffoons indeed. Gosh, I hope the other 49 states, Guam and Puerto Rico weren't watching this.
I do agree with one thing. Texas is a great state. BUt these three had nothing to do with it. And won't.
You girl are VERY observant. I have never seen him speak at length. Just news snippets. He DOES have very similar mannerisms, speech patterns, inflections and even a similar tone to W. There were a few moments that, when I closed my eyes, I could actually SEE Bush in my mind.
I've seen KBH on the Sundayt morning talkshows. She never impressed me but last night, several times, her brain seemed like it was "on break". That dissertation on Roe v Wade was totally incomprehensible. TWICE. She obviously went there with things she wanted to say about Perry regardless of what the questions were or how the debate went.
Medina, we don't need to worry about her. The state hospital she escaped from probably saw her on TV last night.
After watching it, I felt none of them said anything. A bunch of hot air and double speak. No one answered the questions and Perry seemed to be living in the past. So he balanced the budget in 2003. Big freakin deal, it's 2010 now Rick! TX is the greatest state? I can argue with that - not when you have poorest education record in the Union and can't even distribute food stamps to your neediest residents! Get a grip. They were all a bunch of buffoons.
Did you ever realize how much his stammering, mannerisms, and accent are reminiscent of GWB?
After watching the last 1/2 of it and recaps afterwards, I have to say that I think Perry was the biggest loser. With each question I saw posed to him, his reaction was the same. Dodge it and start talking in back slappin' good ol' boy speak. I found myself wondering how on earth this guy could have been our Governor for almost 10 years.
I predict that Kay Bailey will be the next "makeover" subject for a really grotesque reality show, Rick Perry will get arrested for printing Texas money in his basement, and Debra Medina will carry the night but no one will care.
Right out of the gate, Medina is batshit insane.
Q: What federal program do you like?
A: The feds are not taking care of our men & women in uniform.
Surely they won't forget, "Founding Fathers"

Medina will be getting her ass handed to her, and in a fit of teabagging fury, will whip out her unregistered 9mm handgun and start a shootin'. All 18 rounds will ricochet off of Perry's hair, and 17 of them will find either Kay Bailey or Debra, killing both. The 18th, or "Magic Bullet" will ricochet upward and strike the lighting truss, causing a par can to fall and strike 'ol Ricky square between the shoulder blades. Upon impact, Perry's hair bursts into flames, and as he is engulfed in the fire ball, he rushes out into the street, only to be struck dead by the socialist fire truck that was dispatched to the scene. Commentators on Chron.com spend the next two weeks blaming Obama, while sane Texans rejoice at being free of the oppressive good 'ol boy network that has plagued this great state for too long.
I predict they'll all try to teabag each other, will make fools out of themselves, and will talk down to Medina right up to the point that she pulls out her unregistered handgun and shows 'em how a real governor resolves disputes.
You're a treasure girl.
I will be watching this. Luckily, I don't have an HD TV. I think Perry in Hi Def may be dangerous. I caution you all.
As Susan noted, she got a new big screen TV, just to make room for all of the stupidity. I cannot bring myself to watch such buffoonery, even for its sheer entertainment value. Only thing I can be sure of about this contest is that Texas Republicans are in the process of choosing who will lose to Bill White.
