How Will Rick Perry Spin This?

DES MOINES, IA - AUGUST 15:  Republican presid...Image by Getty Images via @daylifeMr. Media® Radio NetworkEmailTwitterFacebookLinkedInYouTube

All those numbers can make a well-coiffed head hurt. Rick Perry is telling everyone on the campaign trail that Texas added more jobs to the economy than any other state. Yet this week Texas' unemployment numbers came out, and the state has its highest unemployment rate since 1987. Ronald Reagan was in the White House and gasoline cost 91 cents a gallon. I think Bob Andelman even had hair in 1987.

Now, maybe unemployment in Texas is so high because it is so desirable to live in this state. So all these carpetbaggers are coming in here looking for jobs and finding nothing. Or maybe Rick Perry is just full of crap.

It would be funny if he wasn't so pathetic: PinkSlipRick.com . The site is offering free bumper stickers with its message and a place to sound off on Gov. Bald Headed Stooge.

Glenn Beck has a message for the chronically unemployed: You're a bunch of un-American losers.

The Fox News host thinks some 99ers — those who have used up their 99 weeks of unemployment benefits—should be embarrassed to call themselves Americans, the Huffington Post reported.

"Have you heard of the 99ers?" Beck asked on Monday. "Some of these people, I bet you'd be ashamed to call them Americans."

About 1.4 million Americans have been out of work more than 99 weeks, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's when unemployment benefits run out in states with the highest unemployment rates.
