Breaking News: Perry Out
Inevitable, but it’s still a bummer.
Well this should be a slow news day, what with Santorum being declared the winner in Iowa, Perry resigning, and the Marianne Gingrich interview.

Paul,
You are quick to the draw! I was already preparing the email to send you when I checked TAC.
With Gingrich and Santorum surging and Perry dropping, it’ll be an interesting weekend in SC. Especially with Gingrich’s ex-wife interview and Romney’s inability to think on his feet in debates.
Interesting: according to this Perry is going to endorse Gingrich:

From this I derive the following:
1. Perry really hates Romney.
2. Perry wants Romney to lose in South Carolina.
3. Perry is not convinced that Romney is the inevitable nominee. As Governor of Texas I assume that he would want to be on good terms with a man who might well be the next President. That he is not in fence mending mode yet is a good indication that he believes that a unified conservative opposition could still derail Romney.
I note the Romeny campaign has put out a new TV spot that features pro-abortion Catholic Susan Molinari. So far, no criticism from Catholic conservatives.
Kurt, you have been following the contempt with which the Weathervane is generally held on this site have you not, or has that completely passed you by? How you, who run a site called Catholics for Obama, think that you score any points by pointing out Romney’s flaws while shilling for the most pro-abortion president in our nation’s history, speaks well for your chutzpah if not your judgment.
. So far, no criticism from Catholic conservatives.
Yeah, we Catholic conservative bloggers have really been shilling for Romney, there. Good call.
Kurt,
Did you just skim over our website and not read how much we have not been supporting Romney (just as you skimmed reading the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Holy Bible, Encyclicals, etc. on your way to supporting the most notorious abortion supporter in the history of the United States of America).
*votes for Tito’s explanation*
Not that I think any objective reader would fail to notice the…odd trends in Kurt’s responses.
Wait wait wait, Don. Are you actually trying to say that this isn’t the most pro-Romney blog after Jen Rubin’s?
Nice try.
But no sale, *sir.*
Bad news . . .
Good economic news: US gun sales are soaring. Unbelievable: This booming US manufacturing sector isn’t being touted by Obama. He ought to take credit. He’s hugely assisting these home-grown manufacturers. Maybe he owns stock . . .
“Wait wait wait, Don. Are you actually trying to say that this isn’t the most pro-Romney blog after Jen Rubin’s?’
I do not think it is possible Dale for you to have your tongue thrust further into your cheek!
“I note the Romeny campaign has put out a new TV spot that features pro-abortion Catholic Susan Molinari. So far, no criticism from Catholic conservatives.”
Kurt, you’ve been to my blog, at least to post a comment. Did you bother to read anything while you were there? I haven’t blogged in a few days, so haven’t addressed the Molinari ad, but I daresay there are few people in this country who routinely expresses as much antipathy toward Romney as this particular Catholic conservative. And none of the Catholic conservatives at TAC have ever written anything positive about Romney from what I’ve seen.
But I’m glad to see that criticism of abortion supporters is something you’d like to see. Perhaps you could start with the abortion supporters (and those Catholics who vote for them) in your own party.
Perry gave 3 reasons why he’s dropping out: “One, my campaign has stalled. Two, we’re really far behind in the polls. And three…uh, three….um, dang it, what was the third reason again?”
“I do not think it is possible Dale for you to have your tongue thrust further into your cheek!”
So much so that I may have pulled a muscle there, in fact.
Awwww, LarryD, for shame! Such low hanging fruit – I expect better.
Paul – someone had to do it.
I’m wondering – who’s gonna save a pretzel for the gas jets, now that Perry is out?
I can’t blame Larry for swinging at that hanging curve.
The reaction over at Hot Gas has been somewhat muted, all things considered.

Haven’t read the blog in months. I feel much saner for it.
I think the blog itself is fine (AP’s bouts of anti-religious snark notwithstanding)–and a very good news aggregator.
But too many of the commenters need to be beaten with a sock full of wood screws.
But it’s no Ace of Spades, I’ll admit.
Even Ace has annoyed me lately with the anti-Santorum stuff, but it’s far more entertaining, and the commenters far less insane.
Hot Gas, you mean the anti-Catholic bigots blog called Hot Air?
