Rick Perry, one of the least unelectable candidates currently seeking the Republican nomination for president, has only been formally campaigning for four days, so we did not expect to see a video uploaded to YouTube called “Perry threatens Bernanke HD” so soon. Eventually, of course, but not after four days. “Perry hits Sotomayor’s mailbox with baseball bat HD” after a week, “Perry tells Geithner’s kids their parents are getting divorced HD” after a month—maybe—but not “Perry threatens Bernanke HD” after four days. And yet:

A Northeasterner, your blogger does not know what happens when one is treated “pretty ugly down in Texas.” Will Rick Perry tell the Chairman of the Federal Reserve that a particular color shirt doesn’t make him look washed out, when it in fact does make him look washed out? Or will Perry encourage Bernanke to get a haircut that makes his jowls look jowlier? What do you think he means? Leave a guess, accompanied by one tip for Ben Bernanke about how to look and feel great, in the comments.

1. I still think it was an anti-Semitic dog whistle.

3. Get ugly? In my opinion he is one of the ugliest human beings I've ever witnessed.

He dresses up nicely but the ugliness within his soul is obvious. I know people in Texas that can't stand him and some that regret ever voting for him. He has done a lot of damage to Texas and this information will come out when it is politically expedient, necessary and packaged in a way a 'reality show' indoctrinated populace can absorb it.

4. Ask Leo Frank

Oh, wait, you can't. He was lynched by some good ol' boys who also liked to "get ugly" on Jews.

5. This dude is pretty despised in Texas. Even by a lot of Republicans.

Voter turnout in last year's gubernatorial elections was the lowest in history. He garnered 18% of the eligible voters with his "victory."

He the biggest CROOK in Texas -- and that's saying a lot, because I know a few.

7. I remember saying something like this in 1999

about an idiot silver spoon governor from Texas and how he was so stupid that no one should worry about him...

Or like the man said: "fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice, we'll...not gonna get fooled again."

6. GET ugly? Fucking liar! All they know how to do is lie. Case closed.
