A thread for when candidates get a bit carried away ...

Rick Perry is a desperate candidate who will say and do anything to prop up his sinking campaign,”
Romney communications director Gail Gitcho declared
after a new attack ad from TexasGov. Rick Perry’s presidential campaign
linked the former Massachusetts governor to the Democratic president on health care.

“In trying to deflect attention from his liberal in-state tuition policy for illegal immigrants,
he has resorted to repeated dishonesty, distortions, and fabrications about Mitt Romney,”
Gitcho said. “After a mere eight weeks on the trail, Governor Perry is poised to dethrone
his one-time boss Al Gore as the most prolific exaggerator and truth-fumbler in presidential campaign history.”

ETA: And besides that, he sucks eggs.
