"Perry apparently lacks all ironic detachment, the quality that so endears liberals to Pres. Barack Obama even though they constantly exhort him to become a fighter."When I was younger, it was always the coolest kids who knew best how to wield that wall of ironic detachment. Everything was lame to them. Even my imitations of their cool was lame. As I've grown up, however, it has become more and more apparent that this facade of exclusivity is simply the easiest line of defense for the insecure. It is also one of the defining features of a true liberal, and (as I am learning) establishment Republicans. Lack of this not-so-elusive feature immediately puts you up for fire from weaker individuals trying to certify their superiority. Thus, if Rick Perry truly lacks all ironic detachment, then he will quickly become vilified by the liberals. Not to reiterate Mr. Lowry but this is unremarkable and extremely predictable. The fact that it has happened already and with such force is what is awesome. It firmly cements Rick Perry's 'apparent lack of all ironic detachment'. And if that's the case then I'm all for him!
More importantly : Ryan for President?
Cue squeals of fangirlish glee. I don't think he would win, but it would really set him up for a future run. Which would allow me to become an even bigger fangirl!!!
