Ad by Group Supporting Bachmann Assails Perry
When Representative Michele Bachmann hits the campaign trail, Gov. Rick Perry of Texas is He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
Mrs. Bachmann never mentions her rival Mr. Perry, who in a matter of weeks since he entered the Republican race for the 2012 nomination has captured a fair share of her Tea Party base.
But a political action committee that supports Mrs. Bachmann is not nearly so discreet. An advertisement it has created attacks Mr. Perry for raising spending in Texas and borrowing to cover deficits . . .
The ad opens with an image of Gov. Perry in a cowboy hat and the question, “Tea Party Guy?’’
Uh, no. Actually, that image -
- appears 20 seconds into the ad.
Not to get technical about it.
