From Rick Perry, revving up an Iowa crowd about the treachery of Fed chairman Ben Bernanke:
If this guy prints more money between now and the election, I dunno what y’all would do to him in Iowa but we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas. Printing more money to play politics at this particular time in history is almost treasonous in my opinion.
I guess this kind of pseudo-populist buffoonery goes down well with the tea partiers. But I really have a hard time believing that it impresses much of anyone else, no matter which party they belong to.
