Rick Perry drops out, endorses Newt. WyBlog 0 for 2 in the presidential picker dept.

Sigh. Now I'm 0 for 2. Those of you who were around in 2008 will undoubtedly recall my unbridled enthusiasm for Fred Thompson's candidacy. Look how well that worked out.

So, no sooner had I put the Rick Perry for President banner up there on the top left when the wheels started coming off his campaign. It's the WyBlog curse, because Rick Perry is calling it quits.

Hey, if I endorse Romney next do you think he'll falter too?

Perry's gonna line up behind Newt, mostly because Newt isn't Mittens and Santorum and Saint Ron are unelectable.

But ABC (the All Barack Channel!) is already locked and loaded with both barrels aimed at Newt. The media which can't be bothered to interview a single one of Obama's ex-boyfriends is salivating at the prospect of airing every scrap of dirty laundry Newt's ex-wife is willing to dish out.

So Wife Number Two's bombshell is, Newt cheated on her with Wife Number Three! Forgetting, conveniently, that he also cheated with her on (dying) Wife Number One. Listen toots, it's not like you didn't know what kind of man you were fooling around with. Both before, and yes after you married him.

Anyway, Tammy's been on Newt's bandwagon for a while now. Ayup, electoral discord in the WyHouse! But not anymore. If Rick Perry's getting behind Newt, then I guess I am too.

It feels kinda like rooting for the Giants though. My heart's not in it, if you know what I mean. (Dude, go with it, it's the Syphilitic Camel Rule! -- Ed.)

Still, Sarah Palin's a Newt fan, that's gotta count for something, right?

More importantly though, he's a Sarah Palin fan. Can we hope for a Gingrich - Palin ticket? Or am I tempting fate again with another jolt of the WyCurse?
