Why is Josh Brolin’s character from “W.” running for president? Jon Stewart asked on Monday. Oh right, that’s Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R). It’s not the first time Perry’s been compared to George W. Bush — but “on steroids.” Maybe it’s the southern drawl, or that “west-Texas swagger.” But Stewart thinks Perry is much, much more than that.
“He’s not George Bush on steroids,” Stewart said. “Rick Perry is what happens if Lex Luther distilled down George Bush essence in a laboratory and crossed it with gun powder and semen from the finest thoroughbred in Lubbock, and then strapped that concoction onto a nuclear missile and shot it into the fucking sun! And then, waited, waited, waited, until one day, on the anniversarry of the Alamo, a solar flare, yada yada yada, Rick Perry!”
