13 August 2011 | The First Coming of Rick Perry

The right wing used to accuse Bill Clinton of cynically engaging in a perpetual campaign, but it's a tactic they eagerly appropriated as their own. How else to explain all the campaigning well over a year before any actual voting? And how to explain our Media Glitterati's already overextended coverage of this shit?

Our hapless media fucks have been pumping up GOP hopefuls as though the campaign season was in full swing, and what comes with it is hyped up expectation from the public. The wall-to-wall coverage so far creates a sense of utter seriousness that you could be forgiven in thinking the Fox News debate among not-even candidates was actually worth something, and not the meaningless grandstanding that it is. These types of get-togethers are nothing more than for a group of loudmouths to try to best one another with the smoothest lies to sympathetic audiences. 

And how else do we explain the painfully hyped up expectation of the First Coming of Rick Perry? You would think, based in media hype alone, that he will absolutely slay all the competition merely by showing up. That he is the potential savior of a party that is, quite frankly, beyond redemption and rather soulless. Our Media Glitterati has pumped up his dramatic entrance into a pre-race race as if he is more popular than he probably is. 

But then again, that's what it's all about, isn't it? A false reality generated by C students who have no problem traipsing after D students wanting to run for president. Imagine that.
