It's been a Rick Perrypalooza since he jumped into the Republican race for the crazy crown this weekend. And while some might be thinking, "Hmmm ... another Bible-thumping, execution-loving Republican governor from Texas might not be such a good idea right now ever again," Perry wants us to know he's no George Bush:
Texas Gov. Rick Perry dismissed comparisons between himself and former president George W. Bush on Monday, calling them "inevitable" but unfair.
"I am Rick Perry and he is George Bush," Perry declared as he marched through the Iowa State Fair, surrounded by reporters. "And our records are quite different."
Asked what the biggest difference is, Perry responded: "I went to Texas A&M. He went to Yale."
That's the biggest difference? Where they went to college? Surely, if it's unfair to compare the two, there must be other differences. Policy differences.
He did not answer when pressed to name a policy difference.
Oh. Never mind.
