perry tosses bachmann off the s.s. mittens??

did rick perry just eliminate michele bachmann's utility once and for all?  if perry strangles himself with his own tongue, then mittens won't need bachmann to slice him to ribbons before the eyes of the jeebus freaks.  mittens will still need cred with those idiots due to his apostate heathen status, but he'll be able to take some time and choose carefully if perry implodes.
