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. |

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. |

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...

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

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. |

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 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!" ![]() |
