This might explain Perry

Rick Perry | Painkillers | Inside the Circus | The Daily Caller

Quote:

Texas Gov. Rick Perry was under the influence of painkillers during televised presidential debates over the last year to help relieve severe back pain, according to a soon-to-be released eBook on the 2012 Republican race for president obtained by The Daily Caller.

“It became an open secret that he was using painkillers in sufficient dosages to keep him standing through the two-hour debates,” write the authors of “Inside the Circus.”

A source provided TheDC with an advance copy of the eBook, authored by Mike Allen and Evan Thomas. The book comes out Tuesday.

The authors imply that the painkillers may have led to a humorous incident before an October debate in New Hampshire when the “manager of a rival campaign” overheard Perry belting out the song “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad” while in the bathroom.

“Wondering who was making all the noise, the campaign manager turned his head and saw, to his surprise, the governor of Texas,” the book states. “Perry came down the row of about twenty urinals and stood companionably close by.

Allen and Thomas continue: “Nonplussed, the campaign manager made a hasty exit; as the bathroom door closed, he could hear Perry still merrily singing away: “I-I-I’ve been working on the ra-a-i-i-l-road, all-l-l the live-long day . . .”

I just hope he's not addicted.

So, what explains Perry when he was not on drugs?

How do you know when he's not?

I saw him on Morning Joe back when he was on the verge of announcing to run and he was so dry, nothing to say. Not engaging, just dour.

Maybe he is on something all the time?

I think we, the people, should demand that ALL our government employees be tested regularly for everything and it should be on their website what they take. The higher up, the more detail.

Psh. As opposed to the the rest of them who are addicted to power, which is a much stronger drug than anything a pharmacy can dispense?
