Rick Perry hasn't spent his entire adult life in one political office or another, unless adulthood begins when you're 34 years old.

OK, you got me on that one. The first 13 adult years of Perry's adult life weren't spent in political office.

But since then, over the last 27 years, he has spent his adult life in one political office after another. Rick Perry hasn't spent his ENTIRE adult life in political office, only 2/3 of his adult life in political office.

Yep, you got me on tht one. Glad we could clear that up.

Really, who would dare say someone that is in their 60s and has held one political office or another continually since they were 34 is a career politican? What was I thinking?

What was I thinking?

You weren't thinking, you were engaging in hyperbole, you've all but admitted as much. I applaud you for your candor. The more obsessive anti-Perry posters wouldn't rise to your level of honesty.

Fractions are fun! Did you know that Herman Cain has spent over 1/2 as many years as Rick Perry engaged in politics and seeking elective office? :)
