Perry: Texas loves being part of U.S.

One of the highlights of Jon Stewart and Rick Perry's raucous exchange on states-rights last night on The Daily Show.

STEWART: Would you like to see -- at some level -- Texas as its own country? Little bit? Little bit? United Republic of Texas.

PERRY: No, we like it. Look, we been there before, and it was a brutal 10 years.

STEWART: Can I tell you something? Texas is a beautiful state, and I've been down there many times -- Austin, Lubbock, San Antonio -- it is really a great state.

PERRY: But we just as soon stay with you guys.

STEWART: That's very kind of you. Are you sure, 'cause we might start gay marrying all over the place. You'd better be careful.

PERRY: But you know what, that's your call. That's your call.
