Tie-watch

The Next President?



Rick Perry screams George W Bush: governor of Texas, a worn-out and well used attractiveness and, going by his mortifying faux-pas at the Republican debate on Thursday, a little bit of an idiot.  Right now the blogosphere is salivating with the rumours that he's gay (caught by the wife, hushed her up with money, now sleeping with a male chef of all people), however WWP have little interest in that.  I'm interested in his tie choices.


Perry clearly loves the red tie.  It all at once reinforces the fact he's a Republican (the hair gave that one away anyway) and he's a man that would easily fight, skewer and barbeque a bull on his Texan ranch.  In other words, the tie is demanding that we all notice him, vote for him, as he is man.  The poor bloke up without indoor plumbing for his first five years, he knows how cruel life can be.  Dishearteningly, the first photo on his website is of him wearing a blue tie, but as you venture on in, all the rest are red.  Thank God.


His policies are slightly utopian, and 'pro-America' pops up quite a bit. He names himself 'Champion of Conservative Principles.' Whilst we'd all like to think that voters learn from their mistakes, the amount of media focus on Rick and The Red Tie gives off a slightly worrying premonition that this man could be Mr. Republican Candidate 2012. And if so, we'd all welcome another year of southern Americana, aging good looks, and red tie agendas.
