Perry Spends Shocking Amount On Private Jets, Outdoes GOP Rivals

Rick Perry Private Jet Spending Doubles His Rivals'

WASHINGTON -- As a latecomer to the 2012 presidential race, Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) has a lot of ground to cover -- and he's covering it in private jets.

Forms filed Saturday with the Federal Election Commission reveal that Perry's campaign spent $276,424.03 on private chartered jets during just six weeks from the August 13 launch of his campaign to the end of September.

That figure is nearly nine times the $33,657.25 his campaign spent on commercial air travel during the same period.

The sum also dwarfs the private jet spending of GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney, who reported $135,083 in private jet expenses during the three months ending September 30. Another high-flyer, Michele Bachmann, spent over $130,000 with D.C.-area based Moby Dick Airways, Ltd.

Pretty soon one of them will start working on a Doomsday device to ensure his election. When the other candidates learn that he is doing that, they'll be "afraid of a Doomsday gap" and make their own. I figure the world is going to end before I'm an old man. With the ever-increasing amount of money in politics it's just about guaranteed.

There's a great metaphor lurking in there somewhere.

Whut ya'll spect from a man worthy of a $10,000-a-month rental ranch away out in rabid coyote cuntry?
