    Don't be suprised he turns against immigrants, too. It's what is needed to get the nomination.

    Must not tolerate anyone more brown than John Boehner.

    Him and Tyrone Corbin.

    Perry is losing the Mormon vote to Romney anyway, so he might as well piss off some Jazz fans by deporting their coach to please the fundamentalists in his party.

    Great post. Perfectly reflect the fact that the Teabaggers are just bunch of scared old white people.

    The main difference from Perry and chavez is that perry wears nicer suits. Oh, and has better hair. Perry does work out too.

    Carl, for as witty as you are, you seem to easily buy into a caricature of those that disagree with you politically.

    I'm not sure how much of a caricature it is.

    They are more white, they do have more of a negative opinion of African Americans and immigrants than even most other Republicans.

    Frankenstein's Monster

    Howard Fineman --

    Karl Rove Created Rick Perry -- Now Can He Stop Him?

    WASHINGTON -- Karl Rove won't say it aloud, but he is afraid of Rick Perry: afraid that the smack-talking Texas governor will wreck the GOP's chances of winning the White House and the Senate in 2012.

    The Perry-Rove story is shaping up as the ultimate tale of dangerously unintended consequences, with Rove in the role of Dr. Frankenstein and Perry as his living, rampaging political creation.

    Insiders know that Rove helped launch Perry's career by advising Perry's successful run for agriculture commissioner in 1990.

    But the larger, deeper point is that Rove designed and built the Texas Republican machine that has now allowed Perry to go national -- even after Rove and company tried (and failed) to stop him by running Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) against him for re-election.

    Rove and much of the rest of the GOP Texas establishment was and is embarrassed by Perry: his rootin'-tootin' style; his naked plays for the votes of the prayerful; his sometimes, almost-violent accusatory language and his preference for sound bites so pronounced he makes George W. Bush seem like Pericles.

    Oh jeez, more of the article --

    Yet Rove's public comments only scratched the surface of his deeper concerns, according to his friends and associates. They cited Perry's reliance on federally supported development deals -- undercutting his states-on-their-own theory of American government; what they described as sweetheart deals with former staffers and, as one insider said, "Perry's total shallowness and refusal to dig deep on the issues. "All he wants to know is the sound bite. He doesn't care about anything else."

    There is a good measure of defensiveness in the Bush crowd's dismissal of Perry. It is though they are staring into a cracked mirror and seeing the flaws of their favorite son, George W. Bush.

    Plutocrat Pete's comment in the fourth panel is the best way to sum up my feelings towards these people.

    "Dear Lord-- you're serious!"

    The entire comic is based on a false premise.

    There was never going to be a default whether the ceiling was raised or not.
