Texas Governor Rick Perry’s decision to stop wearing cowboy boots because of his back pain is just a “feeble excuse,” according to the state’s Republican Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson. “Tell Rick that boots can be purchased with normal heels,” Patterson wrote to a columnist at the Austin American-Statesman, as highlighted by Political Wire. “I lament the fact that our governor could now pass for a West Coast metrosexual and has embarrassed us all with his sartorial change of direction.” These goddamn metrosexuals, with their ignorance about “heels” and humiliating “sartorial” decisions. Where have all the cowboys gone?
