Rising Hegemon
Texas Gov. Rick Perry made a joke at a Latino convention that an appointee’s name sounds like a bottle of tequila — and it didn’t go over very well...
Perry reportedly joked that he liked how a man named Jose Cuevas had been appointed to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission because his name sounds like Jose Cuervo, a brand of tequila. The joke fell flat.
“Perry struggled to regain his confidence as he described Texas as a land of opportunity,” the Associated Press reported.
Perry next went to a gathering of rabbis and joked about how many of them had "Gold" in their names.

As an inveterate punster, I can see the joke. As an experienced Texas politician, Perry should have seen the problem with the joke. Now, if the nominee had been named John Walker or James Beam, it would have been funny.
There's a word you don't see very often 'inveterate'.
I like it.
too soon for dos W.
Good thing Good Hair didn't tell them about his gardener named Frito.
