When Mitt Romney meets Rick Perry, class wars begin
Boston Herald ^ | 8/26/11 | Howie Carr

Posted on 08/26/2011 9:09:23 AM PDT by raccoonradio

Mitt Romney vs. Rick Perry — this primary season is going to be class warfare at its most entertaining.

It’s barely even started, and already you hear callers to Rush Limbaugh saying, “Rick Perry dittos.” And the dying broadsheets are already ramping up to defend Romneycare, trying their damnedest not to trip over anybody in Massachusetts who’s had to pay a $2,000 fine for the crime of having no dough.

And it’s not even Labor Day yet.

So let us consider the profound, irreconcilable differences between these two men.

Rick Perry goes to rodeos, Mitt Romney goes to Rodeo Drive.

Rick Perry is cowboy boots, Mitt Romney is flip-flops. Rick Perry is Full Metal Jacket, Mitt is full dinner jacket.

This fight is going to be the country music vs. country club, man vs. mannequin, attitude vs. platitude. A million stupid Aggie jokes vs. the only Harvard joke that really means anything — “You can always tell a Harvard man, but you can’t tell him much.”

Rick Perry is a handgun, Mitt Romney is a staple gun. Gov. Perry is packing heat, Gov. Romney is taking heat. It’s Tea Party vs. garden party. Brigham Young vs. Faron Young.

Rick Perry rides on top of his animals, Mitt Romney’s animals ride on the top of his car.

Perry’s critics say he’s all hat, no cattle. Mitt Romney says, please, no hat, it’ll muss my hair.

Mitt Romney lives on a lake, Rick Perry lives on a creek.

Rick Perry is French’s mustard, Mitt Romney is Grey Poupon, and he speaks French well enough to know that you don’t pronounce the N.

Rick Perry — former Democrat. Mitt Romney — former Republican.

Mitt Romney looks like the guy who fired you. Rick Perry looks like the guy who kicked your butt outside the roadhouse Friday night. It’s Merle Haggard vs. the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Rick Perry is Bible Belt. Mitt Romney is Gucci belt. Rick Perry — Air Force jet. Mitt Romney — corporate jet.

Mitt Romney — global warming is real, unless it isn’t. Rick Perry — throw another log on the fire.

Mitt Romney — opera. Rick Perry — Grand Ole Opry.

Rick Perry — Hemi V8 pickup. Mitt Romney — whatever John Kerry’s driving these days.

Rick Perry never had indoor plumbing until he was 6. Mitt Romney’s father never had indoor plumbing till he was 6.

Mitt Romney — the Harvard Club. Rick Perry — the Rod and Gun Club.

Rick Perry, Pearl beer. Mitt Romney, a string of pearls.

Mitt, get thee to a NASCAR race. Pronto.

Gov. Rick Perry and Fort Worth Mayor Mike Moncrief fired off the starter 6-shooters, and 2000 Sprint Cup Champion Bobby Labonte & 21-year old, Ovalo Texas native Colin Braun presented the politicians with signed race helmets.
