Rick Perry, Scheisskerl

Nov. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Americans are sick of too many taxes, too much regulation and being told they’re putting too much salt on their food, writes Texas Governor Rick Perry in his new book, “Fed Up! Our Fight to Save America From Washington.”

Perry, a 60-year-old Republican in elected office since 1985, said visits to three Tea Party events on one day in 2009 inspired him to write the book, released this week.

“I saw people who were really scared for the first time in their lives that their government was so out of touch with them,” Perry said in an interview at the Republican Governors Association meeting in San Diego on Nov. 18. “That was my eureka moment.”

Perry, elected Nov. 2 to a third full term and the state’s longest-serving governor, was chosen at the meeting to lead the group, who now number 29.

His 220-page book is a catalog of what he considers federal overreach.
