Haven't we seen this play before? Didn't the media villagers tell us that George W. Bush was responsible for a "Texas Miracle" back in 2000?

Second verse, same as the first. Now the media villagers are telling us that George W. Bush's protégé, "Governor Goodhair" Rick Perry of Texas, is responsible for a "Texas Miracle."

The only trouble is, there never was a "miracle," only a "mirage" that the media villagers who really like the patrician Bush GOP establishment are willing to sell the country – again.

If you didn't catch Governor Goodhair's speech at the conservative confab in New Orleans over the weekend, catch the replay on C-Span. This guy is scary crazy. Seriously.
