"We have had several Texas presidents, but none so deeply, intensely Texas as this guy would be."

Man, Rick Perry is freaking out the New York Times. Gail Collins is all:

You think of Rick Perry, you think of Texas. And more Texas. Perry the cowboy coyote-killer, the lord of the Texas job-creation machine, the g-dropping glad-hander with a “howdy” for every stranger in the room. He barely exists in the national mind outside of the Texas connection.

And Maureen Dowd is all over the place talking about Perry with references to an obvious and old Hollywood movie.

Do these New York women realize that this kind of elitist contempt makes Rick Perry more appealing... to a lot of people... including me?

ADDED:

Well, do they?
	No, and if they'd widen their perspective on America, they'd be more successful.
	No. But their blinkered view works well to serve the interests of the NYT.
	Yes. But their goal is to feed the prejudice of the kind of folks who subscribe to the NYT.
	Yes, and they're great at stirring up trouble and getting links from friend and foe alike.
