As awful as Perry's "er, er, er, oops" moment seemed, - we must remember another debate star

[NRaleighLiberal]

that was... well, kind of .. elected twice and drove the country (the world?) into the ground.

I am trying really hard to ignore these comedic debates, since history has proven that anything can disastrously happen.

1. That's a lot of blinking...how can we forget?

2. Remember Reagan with his "Driving down the coast with Nancy" diversion?

[yellowcanine]

6. That may have been early Alzheimers.

[HopeHoops]

7. Ya think?

:sarcasm:

[Nye Bevan]

3. You forgot Poland. YOU FORGOT POLAND (nt )

[yellowcanine]

8. Yes. Poor Jerry Ford. Little did we know that things would get worse. Much worse.

Just to be clear, I am talking about Reagan and the two Bushes.

[yellowcanine]

4. It proves he is not a polished, ever so smooth politician! Ignorance is good!

Or something.

5. Oh I know

I think of it everytime I see an idiot like Michelle Bachmann successfully screw up the most basic Civics questions.

When I've stopped laughing at how unbelievably moronic she is I notice the group of equally ignorant people listening raptly to every word that manages to make it's way out of her voicebox and I'm reminded that everyone of them actually will vote for her.

9. I wonder if the media will play it repeatedly like they did to Howard Dean.

[Jackpine Radical]

10. They will if they get the orders to.

And I think Rove will give the orders.

11. Given his tweet about wearing his cowboy boots last night, I am

thinking Perry is going to try the George Bush "huckster, just like you" act that enraptured so many of the idiots in this country.
