Roughing it

Aw, c'mon, Rick, a big, tough old boy like you, used to the down-and-dirty world of Texas politics, is feeling overwhelmed by a little national exposure?

Texas Gov. Rick Perry says he won't dispute his wife's assertion he's been "brutalized and beaten up and chewed up" in the presidential campaign.

Perry was asked about remarks that Anita Perry made during a talk she gave Thursday at North Greenville University, where she complained about a "rough month."

In comments recorded by NBC, Mrs. Perry said, "We are being brutalized by our opponents and by our own party." And she lamented the "rough month" that the family has experienced.

In her remarks, she said her husband decided to get into the 2012 Republican presidential sweepstakes because it was a calling from God.

If this seemed like a rough month to them, imagine what one in the general election would feel like. Just wasn't ready for the national stage, was he?

So, God called him to run for president? And God knows everything, so when he called Perry out, he certainly knew the hard time the governor was in for, right? So, God's plan was to get Rick Perry beat up. Must've had it in for him, wouldn't you say?
