Former President Bill Clinton spoke to the International Association of Fire Fighters conference yesterday morning and while doing so he tackled the news of Rick Perry entering the Republican presidential race and took a rather hilarious shot at Perry's announcement speech.
"I got tickled by watching Governor Perry announce for governor, for president," Clinton said -- perhaps stumbling a bit in the wind-up of a joke. "He's a good looking rascal."
The former president elaborated: "And he's saying 'Oh, I'm going to Washington to make sure that the federal government stays as far away from you as possible -- while I ride on Air Force One and that Marine One helicopter and go to Camp David and travel around the world and have a good time.' I mean, this is crazy."
Right. That's one of the GOP's favorite memes isn't it?
Send me to Washington and I'll ensure government remains broken while also enjoying the fruits it has to bear!
