There’s no more denying that Rick Perry is making a huge play for the Neanderthal vote:
Governor, do you believe that President Barack Obama was born in the United States?
I have no reason to think otherwise.That’s not a definitive, “Yes, I believe he”—
Well, I don’t have a definitive answer, because he’s never seen my birth certificate.But you’ve seen his.
I don’t know. Have I?You don’t believe what’s been released?
I don’t know. I had dinner with Donald Trump the other night.And?
That came up.And he said?
He doesn’t think it’s real.And you said?
I don’t have any idea. It doesn’t matter. He’s the President of the United States. He’s elected. It’s a distractive issue.
“I don’t know. Have I?”
“It’s a ‘distractive’ issue.”(Remind you of anyone? Someone who liked to wear a codpiece, perchance?)
