Rick needs to try a different optician.

“Nevermore,” moran.

[douglashh]

Ronald Raven? Guess Rick Perry is still on that 2012 campaign medication. What a loon.

[george_spiggott]

“Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil!—prophet still, if bird or devil!—
Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted—
On this home by Horror haunted—tell me truly, I implore—
Is there—is there balm in Gilead?—tell me—tell me, I implore!”
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”

Drink?

[chammy]

He was a stupid stumbling idiot in 2012 and even more so 2016.

[george_spiggott]

Or perhaps he said ravin’, as in raving lunatic.

[spocksblackpants]

Azarath Metrion Trickle Down!

Brilliant! There’s his out.

“I wasn’t insulting Saint Ronald Reagan, I was insulting this ‘Ronald Raven’ guy who granted amnesty to a bunch of dirty, dirty messicans.”

It’s difficult to take down a dead idol, but he’ll give it a go.

[meri]

Well, to be fair, the best part about a dead idol is they can’t swing back when you hit them. But there is a lot of investment at the beginning - you need to buy a shovel, drive up there, start digging…

[imkmu3]

Well, if you think about it, Ronald Ravan sounds a lot better than Ronald Reagan. It has a sci-fi vibe…groovy like.

Did I just type groovy? Time to step away from the computer.

In the same reply he stated the border was 1200 miles, and a few sentences later the border was 1933 miles. For the record, the US Customs and Border Protection (they should know, eh?) says we have 1989 miles of border with Mexico. For someone who has “the experience of dealing with this” you would think he could at least correctly identify the problem.

[voreason]

He really shouldn’t have had that third martini at lunch.

[ajm]

Ronald raving? Finally, finally! Perry gets something right. Priceless.

[mickeyg]

Rowdy Ronny Raven…the wrestler that just passed away ?

[marby]

One slip of the tongue shouldn’t necessarily make national headlines. However, when four years of “serious” preparation haven’t done anything but reinforce the embarrassing stereotype, it’s time for Perry to give it up.
