A little painful to watch and he should have written them on his palms like Palin would have. Can’t wait for Jon Stewart, Bill Maher,..
…If I were moderator:
Which is the third, Rick? Which one? Which one? Dept of Motor Vehicles? Which one? Which one? Which is the third? We can’t proceed with debates until you name the third. Which one? Viewers want to know… Which one? It’s not the EPA. Which one? It’s not Men’s Department. Which one?
That cracks me up.
I’m glad for this. Finally Admiral Stockdale can be let off the hook for the worst debate flub in American political history.
Rick is a useful idiot.
Rick Perry might be the perfect candidate. Republicans forget important things. Ask Ronald Reagan.
Just a lovable gaffe, kinda reminds me of a former president, what was his name again, uh, uh, uh.
You mean that guy with lovable Alzheimers? So cute!
Which part was a surprise? That he’s from Texas, a Republican?
That he actually had the ability to name 2/3 agencies.
Borrowed from another blog:
Ron Paul could have whispered, “Fuck you, Detroit” and Perry would have automatically repeated it.
Olo Baggins FTW
Don’t want to spread rumors but an open box of tampons was spotted in Rick Perry’s car.
Jeeeez. I’m no Perry supporter but I’d like to see any one of you guys stand up in front a couple million people and speak off the cuff. I’ve drawn the occasional blank in front of a couple dozen people! True, if they were allowed to have notes, he should have written it down. Like O’bama does for every little talk he gives. .
Oh, they aren’t allowed teleprompters in the debates?
Maybe, but compare this incident to his incoherent ramblings in New Hampshire last week.
This guy specializes in shooting himself in the foot.
Bullshit! He can’t remember because its not sincere. He’s only jumping on the bandwagon. Ron Paul wouldn’t have forgotten the agencies.
Being president is hard. If you cant stand up and “speak off the cuff” about policies you supposedly believe in, you’ve got no business seeking the office.
I think most of us can relate to what happened to him.
I can also relate to the kicker who shanks what should have been a winning field goal.
The problem is that Perry keeps shanking these debates. Sooner or later you come to the conclusion that you can’t depend on the guy to come through in the clutch and you find somebody else.
Speak off the cuff my ass. They train for these things. They have handlers that grill them in mock debates before they debate. The idiot knew he was going to a debate. Gee my message is about the overwhelming amount of government regulations. It my be a good idea to be able to speak about what I would change if I were president. The guy is another fucking idiot and given the current state of the voting public he has an even change of winning.
My thoughts were “Where is his teleprompter like Barry uses?”
Funny how he has to turn to Ron Paul to help bail him out after he tore into Paul at the Reagan Library debate. Karma.
DUMBER THAN PALIN !!! NOT Presidential Timber !!! More like a STEAMING DUNG HEAP !!! Sayonara, Rick !!!
Keep them coming Rep! My year is looking grim but these debates are a joy for me. Hopefully stupidity doesn’t win or rather the less stupid would. Go whomever that may be *cough-ron paul* cough.
Comedy writers most see pArry as the gift that just keeps on giving.
oh and Animby Obama did just fine in his 2008 campaign debates without a one of those teleprompter that ALL Presidents use for public speeches
Love how it’s Ron Paul who dives in correct him and put his idea over.
That’s pretty funny.
“The DFW is suffering from another orange ozone health warning, where electronic billboards on the highways advise us to limit our outdoor activities. Incredibly, those warnings are all too common here and around Texas.” Just one statement at an EPA hearing this year.
No wonder Ricky want’s the EPA “restructured”. Stay indoors and hope the wind blows the pollution to neighboring states. How does staying indoors keep your air clean and breathable, unless you have some expensive air filtration for your home your shit out of luck.
KERPOW has it exactly correct and Animby continues his downward plunge into Conservative Perfidy.
Compare Parry’s senior moment with Romneys right after: Romney initially misstated how long he had been married for====but Romney “knows” how long he has been married unlike DumbAssTexanRick who couldn’t remember three things so he was able to correct himself. Dolt.
By the way, it is on par with DumbAssTexanRick for FlipFlop Romney to proclaim that he is the most consistent and firm, or whatever he lied, person running for President.
Ha, ha. They are all Dolts and worse are the idiots posting here who won’t admit the simple truth piled up in front of them.
We are all doomed.
I still subscribe to the notion that the Republicans want to throw the election and candidates like Perry are doing nothing to dissuade that idea. Nominate someone the rest of the country can’t seriously vote for so that Obama gets reelected.
Assuming JCD’s prediction that 2013 will be when the real economic shit hits the fan, Obama would then take the fall for it rather than the Republicans.
On the other hand, the Republican party seems to be such a conflicted mess that this may be the best they can come up with.
Whoever gets elected will be an ignorant sack of shit, like this guy, and he will know he has to do what he is told, like Obama.
If I were a USA Politician, why would I ever want my party “in power?”
Hmmmmm.
Adios!…………mofo.
Personally, I would replace these with one.
Economic Adjustment Office
Economic Analysis, Bureau of
Economic Development Administration
Economic Research Service
Economic, Business and Agricultural Affairs
Economics and Statistics Administration
Call it maybe:
Bureau of Lying about Economics
I think somebody has been spiking the punch bowl. Just like they do to all the presidents. Seriously. I think the CIA runs the whole show, but we will never know…
Wow, didn’t think it could be done.
A GOP candidate who makes Sarah Palin not seem so dumb.
The Tea Party screwed the pooch by tossing up joke candidates. Now comes the Gingrich run at Romney.
Good thing for Perry, conservatives _prefer_ their candidates dumb.
Uncle Dave – good point. The prediction is that China will become the world’s leading economy during the next administration, too. Maybe the Repubs don’t want THAT on their resume, either.
Of course, similar things were said about the McCain candidacy and … oh, wait.
You know, there are a lot of smart, non-slimy, non-fundamentalist people in the USA. Seems like a couple of ’em ought to be Republicans!
#34–Animby==isn’t asking for non slimy candidates for political office kinda like asking for peaceful freedom fighters? Hmmm, no punch there. How about: like asking for healthcare providers who take chickens? Lawyers who do pro bono on cases that never get publicity? etc.
But seriously–isn’t that Huntsman? Which is why he is at 1% in national Republican Polls (8% in New Hampshire). I could see him giving Obama a run for nomination had he changed parties when joining his Adminstration. Ha, ha. Imagine THAT!!!!…… If he knew early he wanted to run.
A sterling candidate, except he’s too liberal for the party that nominates him.
Telling.
Use the reply button! Make us proud, show us you can
Speaking of teleprompters…. Perry’s blunders were anticipated for quite a few:
http://www.gocomics.com/tedrall/2011/09/21
Of course this guy wants to get rid of the department of education… No explanation necessary.
President Oops, that’ll be his handle someday (if elected). First Obama, then Oops? Is America being punished for some reason.
So he does know (or can’t name) which three dept.s he’d eliminate. But just so it’s three of them. Any will do, I expect.
Problem is, they’ll just end up being replaced with some others. Like the Dept. of Red China, for a start.
It’s only natural that after president Teleprompter, President Oops gets elected
What else ya got?
More political independence that you’ll ever have.
Well at least he didn’t do anything stupid like confusing the 16th and 18th centuries. Now that would be like, you know, totally embarrassing.
