Gov. Rick Perry of Texas
So another one bites the
dust. Rick ‘Oops’ Perry, that fine
warrior of the hustings, from the Lone Star State of Texas has dropped out of
the Presidential egg and spoon race.
Texas is larger than life.
Texans are loved or loathed but to a T they all love their big piece of real
estate. Their leaders may be flawed and flaky but Texas musicians are simply in
a class of their own. Tonight the Washerman’s
Dog says farewell to Gov. Rick
with a few prime cuts of Texas blues, swing, country and funk. All by Texans born
and bred.
But to get us in the mood
let’s have a few juicy quotes about Texas.
"George W. Bush did a incredible job in
the presidency, defending us from freedom."
Rick Perry
I have a better head of hair than Rick Perry; it's just not in a place I
can show you.
Kinky Friedman
“You know the
good part about all those executions in Texas?
Fewer Texans”
George Carlin
“I dearly love
the state of Texas, but I
consider that a harmless perversion on my part, and discuss it only with
consenting adults.”
Molly Ivins
“Life in Lubbock, Texas taught me two things: One is
that God loves you and you’re going to burn in hell. The other is that sex is
the most awful thing on earth and you should save it for someone you love.”
Butch Hancock
How can you look at the Texas legislature and still
believe in intelligent design?
Kinky Friedman
I love TEXAS and I hate TAXES.
George H. W. Bush
