Colbert mocks Perry’s ‘magnetic poetry’ sentences

Fresh off his special episode with Radiohead, Stephen Colbert returned to his usual routine of analyzing politics, this time to support Rick Perry after his much maligned performance at the last GOP debate.

The Comedy Central host focused on the Texas governor struggling to put together complete sentences at the FOX/Google debate. “That’s what you get when your speech writer is magnet poetry,” Colbert said. He then proceeded to play a montage of the criticism Perry has faced from the media since his display, including Fox analyst Brit Hume stating that Perry “threw up on himself.”

Colbert decided to add a little more to that analogy.

“Perry threw up all over himself, then chopped off his own head, and crapped down his own neck hole,” he said. “Slit open his own belly and nailed his intestines to a tree and ran around it to unraveled his own guts. He defied himself with every bodily fluid known to man other than Santorum.”

But Colbert wasn’t running away from Perry, deciding to show a CNN poll after the debate with Perry having an eight point lead over Mitt Romney.

He added: “Clearly he needs to show up in the next debate with a mouth full of angry bees.”

    The corporatist party (Dem/Repub) is ruled by Money.  Colbert makes sense here. Why go through all the commotion and inefficiency of an election when you can say for a 93% certainty (Ratigan) who will win, based on the bribes they have taken from big corporations and the moneyed elites?

    Oh, but there is the entertainment factor… I hope the Repubs eat each other alive.  It’s like bread and circuses in ancient Rome.

    Rick Perry’s job was to jump into the race and make George Bush look less stupid than he actually was. Job Done. Mission Accomplished. 

    Now Rick Perry can go back to Texas and hold more prayer meets.

    Funny how Perry mimics Bush… including this explanation of his not being a ‘slick speaker’, which is akin to Bush’s confession that he’s been known to ‘mangle a syllable or two’.

    Actually, when all is said/done, Bush would be considered Perry-Lite.

    Perry is a tea-bagging demagogue who will ruin this country if elected. Simple-minded people like simple-minded politicians, and we are in danger of being over-run with simple-minded voters. Mocking Perry only entrenches the belief in tea-baggers that he has “common sense.” Anti-intellectualism may be his ticket to the White House.

    I feel no one over 75 should be allowed to vote. If you don’t have a chance of living to see the ramifications of your vote, why bother??

    A dream debate between Rick Perry and Ron Paul would push the English language completely off the rhetorical cliff.  A Presidential ticket with the two, either one as Vice President, would end national elections forever.  Neither of them has the slightest grasp on reality.  Neither has expressed a policy, made a commitment of any merit or elocuted a national vision untainted by myopia or confusion.  And where do these guys come from?  Texas, a place you don’t want to “mess with.”
