He can’t even pronounce simple words correctly.
The idiot doesn’t even know how many states there are.
Talk about having a brain fart. This dude just runs off the rails and has no idea what he’s talking about. Breathalyzer? Seriously?
When he matches wits with a kid, he comes up short.
Whatever you do, don’t ask him about his faith. He doesn’t seem to know what he believes.
Forget naming government departments he would cut. He can’t even name his own friends.
And he seems to have a dismissive attitude toward women in the workplace.
What an oaf.
By the way, I caught Shep Smith mocking Rick Perry’s debate gaffe on Fox a bit earlier. Leave aside the fact that Smith committed gross journalistic malpractice in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. He’s paid, really, to do one thing: Be good on TV. Read words on a screen, ask a few questions someone else writes for him. That’s his only job.
Being good on TV, Shep’s only job. Language warning.
Just read the words on the screen, Shep. That’s all you have to do.
You’re being so unfair to Shep Smith, Bryan. His other job is to look like Russ Tamblyn, and he does that pretty well.
I thought his schtick was seat warmup act for Bill.
Yep, it was a boffo and a pretty funny one at that. Here’s the interesting thing that I think everyone has missed and that’s how not only he handled it, but the other candidates standing beside him. Talk about distinguishing himself from Obama.
Right off the bat, both Paul and Romney immediately gave him a hand which said much for them. In the moment, Perry was able to laugh at himself and acknowledge his own shortcoming. More importantly he immediately made himself available for the media flogging – not his staff. Then, he put himself out there this morning to any and every network that wanted to interview him. The ones I watched were pretty good considering the number of reporters that were declaring him toast to his face. He’s also posted a Twitter feed to have fun with the gaffe which has scored 200,000 hits this morning on ‘What part of the federal government would you like to forget about the most?’. In short, he’s handling it pretty well.
Contrast that to Obama who has greeted world leaders by the wrong name, had the Dali Lama use the side door, and claimed to have hosted a deceased Medal of Honor winner at the White House. He holds the 2009, 10, and 11 “Blame Game” world title, knocking down strawmen when he can’t find a way to bring up Bush. He’s not a team player, even with his own team. Even his allies consider him thin skinned, petulant and combative. He never acknowledges his mistakes or gaffes and it’s rumored that he frequently reams the White House staff for them. (Daley is leaving for a very good reason). We won’t even stoop to making fun of his campaign’s most recent social outreach efforts and how far they have backfired – last week the White House issued a statement on whether aliens have visited Earth and the statement lacked any kind of humor.
if you want someone who can read a teleprompter and thinks they’re God, well we’ve already got that…. the rest of us are looking for a human being who has lived in the real world.
And by the way – what was up with the moderator – she could only be described as a shrew.
I would vote for any of Perry, Cain, Gingrich, Bachmann in the general election, but I will not vote for Romney. If it takes 4 more years of the doofus for things to get bad enough for this country to elect an actual conservative, then so be it.
