Rick: the Holy EPA, that's it!

Really, was that the third?

Rick: Um, no.

Very funny!

I think Rick Perry is a tool, and don't think he'd be a good president, but his brain freeze is not something I hold against him too much. It's amusing, and I even feel a little bad for the guy. But he knew all along what that third agency was that he would cut. He just couldn't call the fact forward at that moment in time, and the harder he tried, the more it was blocked. It happens to everyone, especially as they age. In the role of president, he would have the facts at his fingertips and would have aides nearby to remind him, so it wouldn't impact him on the job. It's the kind of problem that would only show up in a debate, and debating in a forum like that is not something a president needs to do while on the job.

I imagine there are plenty of reasons to criticize him, but this isn't one of them.

If your post is meant purely in humor, with no political motives, then I apologize for being a wet blanket.

You can criticize him for his ideas, for his personality, or for his ... uhhhh...oops

It won't lose him the election, but it is funny. He probably will do better than Cain and Newt, but not uhhh...

Seriously, he should have done a Palin, and written it on his hand, or his arm, or his uhhhhh...

Of course I meant this thread in humor.
But it's hard, if not impossible to say there is no politics in it.
I'm sure Obama will get his turn later.

OTOH, Perry did show he does have a quick wit and
sense of humor during the GOP debate on 11/12/11
The text is below, but it's better to watch the video in the link

The Hill
Joshua Altman
11/12/11

Quote:

During Saturday night's foreign policy debate, Gov. Rick Perry (R-Texas)
made light of his now famous misstep in the last Republican debate.
He praised Scott Pelley, the debate moderator, when he asked a question
about the Department of Energy, the agency Perry forgot earlier this week.
“Glad you remembered it,” Perry said when asked what he would with
nuclear material if the department was eliminated.
"I've had some time to think about it, sir," Pelley said.
"Me too," Perry shot back to applause from the crowd.

Tony, relax, enjoy the humor. The originator of your user title also sang (kind of) "sex and drugs and uhhhh"

infinite monkey · 11-18-2011, 09:09 AM

Well, it IS humor because it IS funny.

I mean, come on, if I make fun of Taylor Swift for missing half the notes when she sings live, does your logic then extend to: I don't think Taylor is talented, and I don't think she can carry a tune in a bucket, but her missing half the words to her last song, well I don't hold that against her.

It could happen to anyone WHO IS MAKING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS PORTRAYING HERSELF AS THE LATEST GREATEST TALENT.

With G-dub, people saying "Oh, so he can't make a complete grammatically correct sentence, that has nothing to do with being president!" Oh, it doesn't? I don't know about you, but I like the most powerful person on the planet to have half a brain. But's that's just me.

Just seemed a weird thing to poo-poo, that's all.

Political schadenfreude, it's the modern pastime.

Spexxvet · 11-18-2011, 09:28 AM

It would have been funny if it had been an actor, athelete, or a uhhhh..

Stop it, you're killing me here!

I laughed! I cried! I...uhhhhhhhhhhh.

Well, first of all it seems unfair, because he's not being judged on the substance of the issues.

And second, it's something that's probably happened to all of us, especially when we are under intense scrutiny,

And third,
third, uhh. Third. oops.

I'm not judging his veracity as the possible leader of the free world. (That I do in earnest, on 'issues', on his...uhhhhh.)

I'm judging his stupid moment.

If I'd done it I'd laugh too. However, I would have said "What the FUCK? Brain drain! It was just on the tip of my tongue! What a dumbass I am!"

infinite monkey · 11-18-2011, 09:31 AM

Do we get to make fun of Ann Coulter for saying that THEIR (the conservative) blacks are more impressive than OUR (the liberal) blacks! Oh can we huh, can we can we can we huh?

I'll make fun of her Adam's Apple, her rode hard put away wet look, and her....uhhhhhhhhhhh.

Undertoad · 11-18-2011, 09:34 AM

Conservatives find Ann Coulter "funny" for the same reason you find this "funny".
