Perry's "Top 10" Excuses for His Disastrous Debate
One day after he experienced arguably the most humiliating gaffe of his political career, Gov. Rick Perry poked fun at himself on The Late Show with David Letterman by delivering the night's "Top 10" list.
Letterman couldn't help referring to his guest in his monologue, saying he had a trio of concerns about Perry, including his conservative politics, his debating skills, and "three... crap. What was three?"
Perry entered the stage looking visibly giddy before saluting the audience. He delivered the "Top 10 Rick Perry Excuses" for failing to remember the third federal agency he would abolish during ...

it was really good. I have never seen Perry so loose! Honestly after performing so badly, making fun of himself is all he can do.

Seriously-I have a real problem with our Governor still in office going before a New York audience to capitalize on their general dislike of Texans. I don't know what kind of psychological gymnastics he is going through to justify continuing to humiliate himself and embarrass Texas on the national stage but I hope he has at least a few genuine friends who care enough about him as a human being who will talk honestly to him about how to make a stage exit in a dignified way. I'm afraid he is surrounded by a crew who are so motivated by their connection to power and dreams of hitting the big time that like many powerful people in trouble he is not getting honest advice. Does anyone think this is going to change for the better?

sssdddd
Well Perry has revealed with item 6 that he is the queer cowboy.
If his senior moment were not bad enough he unveiled his homosexual tendancies with the line on Letterman.
"You try concentrating with Mitt Romney smiling at you. That is one handsome dude!"
So if you want a conservative, you had better not select Perry. He is a fake conservative.

This is the only thing I've seen Perry do that I actually liked. Maybe he should have made a career in stand-up comedy instead of....well, you know. ;-)
