CNN: Former Treasury official Bruce Bartlett labeled newly-minted Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry “an idiot” Friday.
Bartlett, who served at Treasury under former President George H.W. Bush and as a domestic policy adviser to the late President Ronald Reagan, delivered the choice words to the Texas Gov. in reference to his recent comments about Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.
…Team Perry did not immediately respond for a request for comment.
I’ve been lurking and finally making a comment. Thank you for this great blog.
The Bush loyalists hate Gov. Perry. All of their long knives are sharp and ready to carve Perry up. Bachmann & Perry will divide the fundy/evangelical GOP wing, and Romney will be the GOP Presidential candidate.
I am Proud of my fellow Californian for an insightful comment. The danger, of course, is whether Romney would be forced to select one of these two crazies for VP in order to appease the teabaggers.
The irony (oh there are so many about these various t-baggers) is that their actions have actually come darn close to treason – holding the Government hostage over its legally binding debt obligations being one. Perry’s statements, to the extent that they in any way hamper the appropriate functioning of the US Treasury and the Federal Reserve system, cause harm to our Government.
If only OBL had been so lucky as to have Perry, Bachmann, Palin and others on his team.
Couldn’t agree more. RICK PERRY IS AN IDIOT. An idiot I would love to win the GOP nomination. Or maybe the other idiot Bachmann. But as that’s wishful thinking for now, hope they continue eating each other alive and pull Romney into the fray.
Good for Ron Paul for laughing at the FOX person about trying to make news out of some video a supporter made about Rick Perry. I wish Democratic politicians would treat the media with the same level of WTF as Ron Paul did in that clip.
Who’s the talking head who can ask that question of Ron Paul with a completely expressionless face?
It’s just sad, the whole thing. I couldn’t be more opposed to Paul but he handled it admirably.

Idiot is an understatement.
