How will Rick Perry's glasses effect the Republican Primaries?

Somewhere in Austin

Rick Perry: Alright, give it to me straight. What do I need to do to do better next time?

Strategist: Oh, that's easy. The trick to coming off smart and winning debates is glasses.

Perry: Glasses?

Strategist: Yep. Gotta get you some glasses.

Perry: So... like an elder statesman look?

Strategist: Haha no. You need, *snicker* like, just the thickest-rimmed hipster glasses you can possibly find.

[LeBron]

Another 10 years and he could pull off a Nelson Rockefeller look alike with those. Immediately when he opens his mouth though on his viewpoints, that's all down the toilet.

Except he was probably going more for a Barry Goldwater look.

What are the odds the lenses are just blanks with no prescription?

Strategist: Haha no. You need, *snicker* like, just the thickest-rimmed hipster glasses you can possibly find.

I resent that. My glasses aren't hipster glasses.

Goldwater's head, as I recall, is too round for Perry. Rockefeller is the way to go for Texas' own immortal Governor.

It'll be huge.  Remember in 2008, when Bill Richardson grew a beard after the primaries, and became Bearded Richardson?  It'll be like that, except it happens before the primaries this time.

It'll be so big, that it changes the word "effect" from a noun to a verb.

They don't look bad on him.

Al Gore grew a beard and put on a lot of weight after losing. It might be a psychological result.

Are you saying the glasses will effect change?

[Maxwell]

This will end up with Rick Perry winning the White House in a mandate. WE. NEED. GLASSES.

The beard/glasses combo tends to be a winner.

That's what he's effecting.

a solid substitute for being intelligent -- the Khmer Rouge killed everyone who wore glasses for being too intellectual, iirc.

[IceSpear]

Maybe this time he'll crack 1% in New Hampshire?
