In Perry’s very first statement after his humiliating fifth place finish in the Iowa caucus, he began trolling for Texans forgiveness for being an incompetent ignoramus, offering the platitudinous, “There has been no greater joy in my life than to be able to share with the people of Iowa and of this country that there is a model to take this country forward and it is in the great state of Texas.” (Oh, yuck.) Translation: "Yes, I'm ass-kissing my way back into the hearts and minds of Texans."
From this point on, pretty much everything Perry publicly spouts will be groveling towards a *rapprochement ( *he'll need to look that up, but will lack the initiative ) between himself and the governor's mansion.
Hope you like it down on your knees there, Mr Groveler.
Brush your hair back. Smile.
