friends. that s the wrong thing. this is the wrong year for perry to be shown, and it s going to be an extensive record before this is all over, to be shown as a guy who has done everything he can, really, for the political folks who have given him not just hundreds of thousands, but millions of dollars. okay, great point. were you surprised that he was so wrong-footed, as the brit brits say, to come out and say, do you think you can buy me for 5k? i m more expensive than that. that s the bunchline of the joke. we know what you are now, we re quibbling over price. the old line was over a hooker or something. but remind everybody, they remembered the old gross joke too. it s like saying, i ve got a price, but it s higher than 5x, therefore i m clean. what?! let s take a look at this. people that weren t watching that night. here he was on monday in the latest debate. these debates are fascinating. the president ought to watch with these debates. here he is defecting criticism
