Next on Rick Perry's Hit List: George Bush's Fed Chairman

Not Just a Pretty Face
Rick Perry just continues to be an asshole.  First he has questioned if the President loves this country ("You have to ask him, I don't know.") which is blowhard 101.  But he cranks it up a notch with these words about Ben Bernake - who may be Head of the Fed under Obama, but the Traitor (his words, not mine) was appointed by George W Bush.

FYI - Treason is the only illegal action described in the Constitution and has a death penalty associated with it.  Of course, since he implies that he would be beaten up or killed in Texas anyway, that might be moot.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Monday broadly attacked the Federal Reserve, accusing the central banking system of manipulating currency for political gain.
"Printing more money to play politics at this particular time in American history is almost treacherous or treasonous in my opinion," Perry, who officially entered the GOP presidential race on Saturday, said in his first full day of campaigning.
He went on to say that promoters of such an idea — hinting but not naming Fed chief Ben Bernanke specifically — would get an "ugly" treatment in his home state of Texas. (MSNBC LINK)
