By Michael J.W. Stickings

I was going to blog about this, but Mustang Bobby beat me to it with a great one-liner. Here's his post:

After last night's debate, Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) explains why the Americans revolted against the British in 1542:

Reason we fought the revolution in the 16th century was to get away from that kind of onerous crown.

Then Ponce de Leon freed the slaves and opened a casino outside of Fort Lauderdale.

Via TPM. 

Oh, Rick Perry. The narrative of you as way too stupid to be president just keeps getting deeper. And it's sticking because... well, because it seems to be so very, very true.
