Preacher on the tube, crying Lord, there's
evil in this land.
"Rock and roll music!. . ."
Cast down these dope-fiends and their
noisy bands.
"Damn their souls!"
Preacher preaching love like vengeance
Preaching love like hate
Calling for large donations
Promising estates
Rolling lawns and angel bands
Behind the pearly gates
He will have his in this life, but
Yours'll have to wait.
He's immaculately tax-free. . .
But tonight I'm going dancing
with the drag queens and the punks.
Big beat deliver me
from this sanctimonious skunk.
We're no flamin' angels,
but he's not Heaven-sent.
How can he speak for the Prince of Peace
when he's hawk-right militant?
He's immaculately tax-free. . .
-- Joni Mitchell, "Tax Free", from _Dog Eat Dog_

There's probably no need to parody Rick Perry but it's funny to watch anyways.
Even complete idiots that share Rick Perry's values idiots think Rick Perry is a complete idiot. That takes some doing.
