Perry Declares Candidacy for President
Texas Republican Governor Rick Perry announced his candidacy for President of the United States today during a speech in South Carolina. Though the text of the speech is worth reading in its entirety, here’s my pick for the best line:
I’ll work every day to make Washington, D.C. as inconsequential in your life as I can.
If Perry’s campaign can reduce that sentiment to a bumper sticker, he might be able to sow up the GOP nomination by Labor Day.
