Is This the Weirdest Rick Perry Speech Ever?

—By Tim Murphy

Jon Ward flags this video of Texas Governor Rick Perry speaking at an event in New Hampshire on Friday, and politely calls it "unusually expressive." I will go a few steps further and say it is the strangest Rick Perry video I have ever seen (which is a pretty long list). Just watch:

Have you ever seen anyone so happy to receive a jug of maple syrup? Ward, who was in attendance, says the clip was not fully representative of the speech, but notes that the entire presentation was weird enough to prompt a tea party leader to tell him, "I think Obama would chew him up." The most recent Des Moines Register survey has the Texas governor polling at just 7 percent in Iowa (tied with Newt Gingrich), a state he led just two months ago. Speeches like this, which look more like an appeal to Alec Baldwin to make another guest appearance on SNL, likely aren't going to do much to stop his free-fall.

1. Saw that earlier this morning. Pretty odd, to say the least.

:eyes:

[Gman]

2. He looks like an even bigger idiot when he tries very hard to be funny and cool

when he's not.

[lumpy]

3. Dubya was a better comedian.

4. I think the comparisons to Dubya are what did him in. If it's possible, he's a dumber version. (nt)

5. Lyle from Blazing Saddles

Perry must have had a comedic acting career he's kept hidden in his past.

6. WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!

this guy a clone of G W Bush the sad thing is people will vote for this FOOL!!!

[sammytko]

7. He sounds and acts like he's on something

Weird nervous tic or trying to do the Reagan head bob, bush shoulder shrug with some Nixon eyebrow thrown in. He doesn't know who he is. Kind of scary.

[ThoughtCriminal]

8. I'm sure he can get way weirder than this

One of these days he'll do a speech consisting entirely of dog whistles for doomsday religious right fundamentalists and racists.

9. It's like bad lip reading, except it's real...

10. Kick & Recommend

[Skittles]

11. I'll say it again, j_d

Rick Perry just may be dumber than Dubya - yes INDEED

[Ilsa]

12. Yeah, there is something wrong with him. He seems so fake-y in thatvideo,

or like he's on something. I halfway expected him to burst into song during that.

[Tx4obama]

13. Alcohol or drugs, or both. n/t

[polichick]

14. Can't wait to see what Colbert and Stewart do with it! Poor Dick...

I almost feel sorry for him.

15. The New GOP ....

Nothing will ever surprise me with this group.

They are all trying to out do each other and it's sad and funny at the same time.
