2012’s best and worst
Perry, Maddow and ‘Breaking Bad’ make the list
Here’s my annual list looking at 2012:
• Worst Political Primary Performance of the Year: Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s run for president. It wasn’t just his lackluster performance, forgetting his own program during a debate, or that video suggesting he had either an attack of giddiness or more than a few drinks. Perry never lived up to his advance mainstream and conservative media hype. He was not ready for the national stage. There are signs he will try it again in 2016 and maybe by then he will.
