Rick Perry Apologizes for Wimpiness of Bernanke Remarks, Clarifies

“I should have clarified what I meant by ‘pretty ugly down in Texas.’ I mean, Ben Bernanke hasn’t killed anyone and he’s not retarded, not completely anyway, so we can’t execute him.

So to level with y’all, what I meant is that we would strip Bernanke to his skivvies, chain him by the legs to the back of a pickup truck—not my pickup, not necessarily—and drag him through the town square. We’d put him in a stockade, brand him, and if he acts rowdy, we’ll have him flogged and given 100 lashes, just like they did in the good ol’ days.”
