I'm writing this with a good bit of LOL in my bones.
Thanks to The Burnt Orange Report, Elise Hu, and TX Democratic Headquarters Facebook page for this afternoon giggle.
Apparently, today at 1:00 PM, the Perry campaign announced some sort of press conference to discuss..well,..something.. in front of Travis County Democratic Party Coordinated Campaign HQ and Bill White's Austin office. Looks like he was going to talk about how he wasn't gonna debate Bill White as promised after all, because he's good enough, smart enough, and..well..you know the rest.
Anyway, I guess he sent three staffers. But what do you think is going to happen if you try to do this in front of a TX Democratic Party HQ, doofus?
Note: That is Mark Miner, a Rick Perry staffer in the suit on the left. How the heck did the guy with the chicken suit get there on such short notice? He's my favorite. The chicken's sign says "Hi, My name is Rick Perry." LOL.
I highly recommend you read the Burnt Orange Live Blog on this -- all credit to them. Hilarious.
Here's your footage, courtesy of Elise Hu from Texas Tribune:
Rick Perry is a Dubya clone...Weren't they both cheerleaders?
LOL! Thats a hoot Astro!
Because they're basically birdbrains?
...what's with Republicans and chickens this year?
And then, this impromtu press conference answers an age old question for the first time!
"Why did the chicken cross the road?"
Hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even better would have been if they could have jammed some Chinese handcuffs on that guy's hands! He would never have gotten away!!!
I thought "The Hair" was on a "business" trip to China?
LOVE LOVE LOVE the chicken suit! What a bunch of goofballs, to think they could do this in front of the Dem's office. Fools they be. As we already knew....
- 2nd campaign commercial would continue on Rocky Horror theme, but would take place in the hearing room for the State Board of Education in Austin - Rocky would be the social studies curriculum in the center of the room (again with appropriate music and board members dressed as the characters we all know) -
Bill White would come on, turn off the power, all the board members would fall to the ground and announcer would intone - Help Bill White and the Democrats replace the Board of Education; vote Democrat.
-3rd campaign commercial would have very serious CFO/Financial VP-type explaining funds are short, state government needs to cut back its expenses, and just like all businesses, one of the things to look at are medical expenses and employees who have become a drag on the health plan (just like so many places have determined whom to cut) - Rick Perry's recent knee surgery indicates he is an employee starting to need his medical plan, so we Texans need to RETIRE Rick Perry to save on state medical expenses - vote Democrat !
the 3 commercials could all run from now until election day and rightly poke fun (laughter being the very best political weapon) at Perry's Board of Education.
I am still giggling over the chicken suit.

Yessssssss !
the only thing that would be better is a doctor standing in front of a knee-cap X-ray explaining Perry's recent knee surgery was on his RIGHT knee (as we suspect) to correct his reflexive jerk :)
wonder if footage is available (or could be manufactured ?)
it would be good if the doctor were in a wheel-chair like in Rocky Horror Picture Show and the Perry campaign theme song "Let's do the time-warp again" (that is their song, right?) could be playing softly as the doctor lectured us on Perry's health and recovery :)
wonder if it would go viral ?
I caught that as it passed by me on my fb page and choked a little on my Dr. Pepper.
Tool. I am sure they thought it was a clever idea when they came up with it.
