But then they would have to remember like way more than three things.

This was darn funny!

Letterman last night. Rick poked fun at himself. Gotta give him some credit for this! He's still a tool, though.

Top 10 list of excuses for forgetting the name of the third Cabinet agency he intends to cut if elected president.
10. "Actually, there were three reasons I messed up last night. One was the nerves, and two was the headache, and three ... oops."

9. "I don't know what you¹re talking about - I think things went well."

8. "Hey, I was up late last night watching Dancing with the Stars."

7. "I thought the debate was tonight."

6. "Hey listen. You try concentrating with Mitt Romney smiling at you. That is one handsome dude."

5. "Uh, El Nino?"

4. "I had a five hour energy drink, six hours before the debate."

3. "You know, I really hoped it would get me on my favorite talk show, but instead I ended up here."

2. "I wanted to help take the heat off my buddy Herman Cain."

1. "I just learned Justin Bieber is my father."

By all accounts I am in my right mind and I think it is doing something effective. Such as regulating and controlling the National oil reserve.

What do you see as the alternative once the DoE is eliminated? Does anything replace it? Are the task and duties farmed out to a state level? What is the plan beyond eliminating the DoE?

But they can't do that because they have not thought this through. They got to "eliminate the DoE" and put their pencils down to go out and play. When cornered they will probably throw out their hail mary "Its not in the constitution!"

I wish that politicians would start suggesting policy based on what the results would be instead of what will piss off half the country.

All this could have been so easily avoided. Next time, Rick -- write it on your hand.

Someone would have to write it for him because he can only write with one hand, and the non-writing hand is already filled up with diections for farting and chewing gum at the same time.
 
Not a Perry supporter in the least but I have to say he's handling the aftermath with good humor and style. He was on Letterman and did a Top 10 reasons why he fumbled that was actually pretty good.

Yeah, they could start with the DoE's ridiculous creation of an entire class of Geologist Millionaires living off the fat of my tax dollars. :D

Yeah, they could start with Congress' ridiculous creation of an entire class of millionaire Expert Logicians living off the fat of numerous "free trade" deals. :D

Bwahaha! You have fallen into my trap, Mr. Bond. I should do the "oh please don't throw me in the briar patch" bit.

Yeah, make trade more difficult. My worth goes up with every new regulation they propose. ( CTPAT and Homeland Security created a whole cadre of consultants and freeloaders.)

Restart it with some Regulations on it that make a bit of sense; no more venture capital ploys (with other peoples money) ala Solyndra.
