Rick Perry’s Victory Party: Ever Heard Of Tact?

I have not seen too many quotes thrown around the Blogsphere about the Republican/Rick Perry victory party on Tuesday night.

However, Evan at Rick Perry vs. The World has some of the dirt.

First, let’s examine all the strange possibilities surrounding this David Dewhurst pearl of wisdom:

8:38: Dewhurst takes the stage. “Wow. What a difference four years makes.”

Uh, yeah. Isn’t that what Kevin Fetterline said to Brittney? Wait, never mind.

Seriously, though, what were you talking about, exactly? Rick Perry’s low numbers? The weather?

And then, Jerry “Don’t Take My Guns” Patterson, the Texas Land Commissioner, had this tacky little soundbite:

9:30 Jerry Patterson “To the Democrats who ran against this statewide team: what were you thinking?” Pretty funny.

Oh, baw haw haw. What, Jerry? People don’t have a right to run for office? You just want to talk smack about everyone who isn’t a Republican candidate for statewide office? For the record, Don Willett didn’t do so hot, dude. And you, Jerry! In spite of having the AFL-CIO Endorsement, you were one of the statewides that got less votes than the others.

I did find it interesting that Patterson refered to everyone as a “team.” Please.

We all know that if the Republican statewides were placed in a locked room and told the only survivor would get their party’s nomination to the U.S. Senate, that Susan Combs would smack someone in the head with a shoe, Greg Abbott would start head butting people in the groin, David Dewhurst would be bodyslamming people against walls, Jerry Patterson would be tripping people, and Rick Perry would be standing around thinking “The Senate? Screw this! Giuliani/Perry ‘08 Baby!”
