Rick Perry: North Korea wants to blow up Texas to stop my awesome awesomeness

[ashling]

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) believes that his success as governor has made Texas a target for attack by North Korea leader Kim Jong-un.

But on Wednesday, Perry explained to CBS News that North Korea’s military strategy made perfect sense considering the success that Texas had seen during the 12 years he had served as governor.

“What I will suggest to you is that one of the reasons that Austin is put on the map is that he put very important American cities on the map,” the Texas governor observed. “Economically, what has happened in Texas over the course of the last decade has made this city an epicenter for a lot of technology and a lot of economic development.”

“And I think the individuals in North Korea understand that Austin, Texas is now a very important city in America, as do corporate CEOs and other people who are moving here in record number.”

1. When Jindal said the Republicans had to stop being the "party of stupid" it was ...

... Rick Perry who gave the rebuttal.

2. I am not sure why NK is targeting Austin

I am pretty sure that Perry has nothing to do with this decision.

3. Perry has become a parody of himself. Wish Sat. nite Live would do him.

4. I guess North Korea could ship a warhead via cargo on a regular airline.

Otherwise, they don't really have a delivery system.

I already lived through the Cold War, when the Russians were "going to bomb us any minute."

So I'll pass on the Teeny-tiny Cool War.

5. No, he will never stop embarrassing us
