There is the hair. And I hear he's very polite. That is worth at least another 5 million.
I remember watching a documentary about the Nazi rise to power in Germany. One woman they interviewed said, "Oh, I loved the Nazis. They were very patriotic. You felt wonderful about being German in those days. And they believed in dealing with criminals. If you had a thief in your village, they would come and kill him, done, no fiddling about with trials and all of that. And there was plenty of work, everyone had a job and money in their pockets....................................." And she went on and on about how they dealt (brutally) with homosexuals and "lazy people"......with her face all aglow.
No, I'm not calling Gov. Perry a Nazi, or even accusing the GOP of being Nazis. There are important differences. But, I do see the lesson in what some people will tolerate in exchange for a job, law and order and a government that panders to their prejudices or hatreds.
