Rick Perry Correctly Names The Three Departments He Would Cut, Crowd Cheers Wildly



Texas Governor Rick Perry earned the biggest round of applause during Sunday morning’s NBC News/Facebook debate, when he correctly named the three federal departments he would do away with if elected President (some people may remember his flub in a November debate).

I like the way he holds up three fingers as a victory salute.

He's a funny guy. Not so funny as a presidential candidate, but I hope he stays in long enough to keep the lulz going.

Neither do the drones who mindlessly cheered when he said it.

Fortunately, it's a moot point because his campaign is dead in the water.
