You can dress up crazy in boutique glasses and a Brooks Brothers suit, but crazy is still crazy.
This axiomatic profundity is brought to you today by Rick Perry, who says, according to Dave Weigel (via HuffPost), that the plummeting unemployment number has "been massaged, it's been doctored" — thus reviving one of 2012's crazier aspects: BLS trutherism.
Mr. Perry also won the Iowa Freedom Summit's Twitterdee-Twitterdumb primary, reports the Washington Post.
The possibilities for a truly awesome GOP primary season are unfolding, daily, at an exponential rate. Tomorrow, someone — if not not Perry, then Paul or Huckabee or Romney — is bound to question the methodology and validity of polls showing Hillary thumping them all.
Socratic self-examinations are once again on hold as Republicans plunge ahead, straight into 2012, crazy as ever.
