Is Rick Perry a freak? Smelling women's shoes.

[T]he governor is huddled up with Pam, swapping stories and photos of kids (Perry has a grown son and daughter), dogs (he has four), guns (he digs them; his wife, Anita, doesn’t), his 1-year-old granddaughter, and the uncomfortably stiff cowboy boots Pam is sporting, custom made from a gator she shot while in Louisiana.

Next thing you know, one of Pam’s boots is off her foot and in the governor’s hands. (Perry himself has sworn off cowboy boots in deference to his temperamental spine.) Perry flexes the sole, then sticks his face down inside the shiny black footwear and inhales deeply. “I just love the smell of new leather!” he announces happily. He pauses, looks over at me, and asks, “This is going to wind up in your piece, isn’t it? ‘He likes to sniff women’s shoes!’” The governor chuckles, then resumes his discussion with Pam about the best way to break in boots.

sense to me. Were his handlers sending him out to multiple campaign appearances and debates while high as a kite? Did he govern while whacked out on narcotics every day? Why run for President, then? So I agree with you--it wasn't pain pills, he's just a bizarre guy.

He pings my gaydar, with all these cheap gimmicks, as if he's checking off a list of 'Richard Simmons' essential manly demonstratives.'

Why would it be a small consolation that at least it was a WOMAN’s footwear? It’s hard work rabble rousing, wearing Smart glasses, and being so stressed coping with CRISIS. Can’t do all those tough things without taking a break. He started demanding Federal reimbursement even before he perpetrated the military occupation of $38 mill-yons. In case the OBAMA Administration hasn’t thought of a legal argument, I suggest: “Hey, you’ve made hay of your fleabag career with railing against Federal cash and you perpetrated the military deployment in the face of everybody telling you the troops are NOT needed (or wanted), and you’ve had no trouble refusing Federal cash for the most needy of your state, so YOU pay for YOUR own troop CHOICE.”
