Rick Perry and the N-Word

Just like the real news story, there's nothing of substance here beneath that sensational headline. But try telling that to the editors at the Washington Post who are having quite a bit of fun with this story. Gossip sells, plain and simple, and the worse it is, the more people want to read about it.

Don't hate Rick Perry because his family once owned a ranch 30 years ago that had a rock at the entrance with a racial slur printed on it, that Mr. Perry himself suggested they paint over ASAP; hate him because he's creepy.
