something most of us already knew.

Pataki's the one who surprised me the most by being the biggest prick on the dais. I never liked him, but now I hate him with the fire of a thousand blazing suns.

I don't like Fiorina one bit, but she seemed like the only one who took the whole thing seriously. Maybe because her background isn't politics and so the bullshit doesn't spout as easily as with the others.

.. people who are not very bright think running a government is just like running a corporation. It's a ludicrous concept with no validity at all.

Just like something a high-functioning moron like Perry would say.

Exactly what's this corporate experience he's bragging about? Selling books door to door? Working on the family farm? The guys been in politics since he was 35yo.

In the early 1970s, Perry interned during several summers with the Southwestern Company, as a door-to-door book salesman. "I count my time working for Southwestern as one of the most important formative experiences of my life," Perry said in 2010.
