Apples/Oranges.
I find Rick funny because he looked like a deer in the headlights, and instead of saying "I forgot" he kept trying to skim over it, even looking innocent when someone suggested the EPA was the missing ingredient, until the mod said "Was the EPA the third?" Rick: uh, no, uh, no. I presume the conservatives find Ann funny because she's really good at horsing around about liberal politics. |

Ladies and Gentlemen, the moment you've all waited for: Rick Perry and the Parachutes, performing all their greatest hits!
(Rick and band come out amidst smoke machines and darkness. Lights go up. Drums start in...) Rick: Hello ATLANTA! Are you ready to rock? Let's go! A ONE, and a TWO, and a....uhhhhh. ![]() I slay me. |

Andrea Mitchell just interviewed Rep Barney Frank, about a House Bill
that blocks standards for school lunch programs... something about pizza is now a vegetable. Franks reply was that Republicans took three Bill and combined them, and then would not allow Amendments to their final Bill. He started naming the three Bills and got two of them, but then said: "I'm having a Perry moment" For another entry in the urban dictionary. |

A latest Perry commercial took an Obama comment completely out of context to claim Obama was disparaging American workers at an Asian trade conference. NBC News rather bluntly (I was surprised how blunt NBC was) accused Perry of misrepresenting facts. Then played the Obama quote in proper context. NBC then said rather bluntly that what Perry claimed and what Obama actually said were different.
NBC was doing what Peter Jennings of ABC so often did. Which is why George Jr Republicans so routinely attacked Peter Jennings. |

I must admit, I did feel a little sorry for him in that moment. I do think that someone putting themselves forward for the most powerful, and therefore most high pressured job in the world, should be able to handle the pressure of a televised debate a little better though.
Having had a brain fart moment, he could have done much better on damage control.

Rick Perry not remembering the third agency to cut is funny because we all like seeing people make fools of themselves on TV. It's not really a political attack, or has little legitimacy as one. It happens to everyone. It blows my mind that there has been so little actual analysis of the POSITION beyond him forgetting it. The fact that he wants to AXE the department of EDUCATION should have you worried.

Probably because so many people thought he was going to ASK the Department of Education something.
"Let me axe you this: does the Department of Education rilly fulfeel our nids?" Last edited by infinite monkey; 11-30-2011 at 09:26 AM. Reason: badass grammar |
