Perry: Open Mouth, Insert Cowboy Boot, Wave Buh-bye
They say everything is bigger in Texas; I guess self-implosions are no exception. The scariest part about watching Rick Perry’s brutal brain freeze on stage during last night’s debate – aside, you know, from him not being able to name the three Cabinet agencies his flat tax and streamlined government would eliminate – is that he was supposed to be the straight-shooting, no-nonsense candidate that would rescue conservative Republicans from having to hold their noses and vote for Mitt Romney.
This one should torch any lingering notions that Perry, already sinking fast in polls, isn’t complete Texas Toast. The meltdown starts around the one-minute mark, in what Business Insider headlines as “The Moment That Officially Killed His Campaign – For Good.”
“Oops,” indeed. The recovery comes about 15 minutes too late, when Perry uncorks the third agency as the Department of Energy.
