Behold Rick Perry’s Amazing Dancing with the Stars Debut

Rick Perry made his big Dancing with the Stars debut tonight and… wow. That was quite something.

Perry trained with Emma Slater to get his dance moves all set before his daughter’s upcoming wedding.

The entire routine was Texas-themed. Hell, the song they danced to was “God Blessed Texas.” There was a corn dog booth at the beginning.

It was kind of amazing.

And then the judges weighed in.

Watch the entire video above, via ABC.
