Maybe it is, in which case: #DanceRickDance! Others are saying #RickPerrysPathetic. What do you think? Scroll down for further perspectives and VOTE!

The former presidential candidate says he'll use the show as a platform to bring awareness to veterans issues—an undoubtedly noble cause, although he has not elaborated on the specifics of exactly how that's going to work.
I’m dedicated to helping #veterans however possible, and I’m going to use @dancingabc as a stage to do that. #DWTS pic.twitter.com/oQpfJrrYcC

Others critiqued his record on veterans, saying that as a politician there were undoubtedly better and more concrete ways to help them than appearing on a reality TV show.
@GovernorPerry @DancingABC If we vets mean so much why are you silent every time the GOP blocks or shitcans vet bills?

Many commenters think it's embarrassing and beneath him to do this.
@GovernorPerry @DancingABC @EmmaSlaterDance The currency of dignity just took another plunge.

As will people who think the whole thing is going to be a train wreck.
Vanilla Ice, Rick Perry, & Ryan Lochte all on the next season of #DWTS, what a time to be alive.
