Allahpundit had a headline item about this picture last night, but let’s toss this out onto the main page for Hot Air readers with a desire to write quirky captions. Ron Paul tried going on the attack against fellow Texan Rick Perry in last night’s debate, but during a commercial break it seems that Perry gave a more personal response:
NRO’s Katrina Trinko has asked both campaigns for an explanation of the conversation, but in lieu of those explanations, Paul supporters are already assuming that Perry assaulted Paul, as Tommy Christopher reports at Mediaite:
There’s no freakout like a Ron Paul fan freakout. A meme has emerged on the PaulWeb that, during a commercial break in last night’s Republican Presidential Debate, Gov. Rick Perry“assaulted” fellow Texan Ron Paul, “suddenlygrab(bing)” Paul’s forearm while “aggressively pointing his index finger towards the Congressman’s face.”
The only “source” for these allegations is an AP photo with a much blander caption, but that’s just what you’d expect from the anti-Paul media, right?

Perry looks very presidential in that picture. That’s how you act when talking to any of the heads of state of the countries who live off our charity.
Go Perry, I may just vote for you. Guns up!

Finger stutter?
When fingers are outlawed, only outlaws will have fingers.
Who is the guy with his back to us, and his hand on the podium?

“It is like a finger pointing away to the moon...Do not concentrate on the finger, worry about the right hand that’s poised to rip your arm off and beat you with the bloody end.”
LOL, great term!
Perry’s got a set....Paul IS a set....of NUTBALLS.
“Don’t mess with Texas,” is what this looks like. I get the feeling that Perry is one tough hombre. Paul, incidentally, isn’t a Texan. I believe he’s originally from Pennsylvania.
“Now listen Ron - you promised me the next dance!”
Pee Wee Herman presents a better leadership image!
Perry looks like a bully to me. Ron Paul is much older and it just looks bad.

Perry: WI SC judge David Prossor. Paul: Anne Walsh Bradley.
Perry doesn’t look like a bully to me but Ron Paul always looks like he has dementia or is over medicated.
I know that’s Gov. Rick Perry on the left. But isn’t that Dr.Zachary Smith (Lost in Space 1965) on the right.
If you expect to be *my* running mate, you're going to have to do better.
