I'm no fan of Perry, but really? A minor brain fart in a debate and he's done? I've heard no end of crap about "Well he eants to be the leader of the free world!" and if the job description said he was a one man show, then yep, ye're done. But he's not. He has a ton of advisers to help him through a brain fart.

That was a colossal screw-up. I bet his shoes were full of sweat after that one. These days, the debates are so scripted anyway. It's like an actor drawing a blank on his line. Where was the teleprompter?

Cut education? That kind of sucks. Still along as he doesn't want to go around invading countries, throwing away international treaties and arbitrarily detaining Canadians, I'm good.

He's doing the top 10 list on Letterman's show tonight.

It wasn't just this. This was just the final nail in the coffin. And what put him in the coffin was the stoned speech he gave in New Hampshire last week.

A "Brain fart" is perhaps saying the wrong word, not humming and hawing for a minute about something that is supposed to be a priority that one can't remember. It appears to be a talking point he was told to make just moments before the Debate began. Not something he truly thinks needs to be done.

Is it just me, or does anybody else think that in reality, the Republican presidential race is just one long comedy sketch.

It reminds me of the Monty Python Twit Race.

I put this up there with Obama saying he would go to all 57 states and Biden saying, well, anything. It's not a big deal.

[andyt]

bullshit it is. If you'd asked Obama "how many states did you say?" He would have said "sorry, I meant 50. Not er, um, I mean, well, um... Also this was Perry's own policy - if he can't remember his policies, who can - the people pulling the strings?

"Hi, my name is Rick Perry. This week, my policy is.... maple syrup. It makes me ecstatic and a little stoned. Tune in next week, when I remember another policy I have as soon as it's given to me."

"Hi, my name is [the kind of person who chooses a career as a politician]. This week, my policy is.... maple syrup. It makes me ecstatic and a little stoned. Tune in next week, when I remember another policy I have as soon as it's given to me."

Fixed that for ya.

[andyt]

Would you vote for him?

[DanSC]

andyt andyt:

Would you vote for him?

No, but not because of this incident.
