Ehh. Not much of a gaffe. But there's a hundred other things that proves him incapable of becoming president.

I think it's more of a story at this point when Perry gets something right.

In the news today, Rick Perry successfully ordered a Grand Slam at Denny's. He almost lost it when deciding if he wanted bacon or sausage, but after consulting his advisers, he decisively chose bacon.

He then continued, "I hope that the people of the great state of New...Mexico give me more votes in that vote thingie. You know, the one where they count those pieces of paper. Reflections"

Idiot! The caucuses are in Eurasia, not New Hampshire.

This is as big of a gaffe as "57 states". Perry's made so many actual boners that there's no need to greenlight boring stuff like this.

Eventually, you know someone long enough to figure out he wouldn't be fun to drink beer with.

Group: Texas jobs fund missing job creation goals

By WILL WEISSERT, Associated Press - Nov 9, 2011

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - A government watchdog group in Texas said Wednesday that a job creation program touted often by Gov. Rick Perry as he seeks the Republican presidential nomination has delivered on barely a third of the jobs it promised to bring to the state by the end of last year. [...] The Texas Enterprise Fund has handed out $440 million in public money in the form of economic development grants to private companies since its creation in 2003 in an effort to bring jobs to Texas. [...] Lexicon Genetics received $35 million in 2005 and pledged to create 1,662 jobs by the end of this year, but its workforce of more than 600 has fallen to 290 today - with 70 of them based in New Jersey, not Texas.

But the firm renegotiated in 2008 to push back the job deadline to at least 2016 and paid $16,000 in penalties.

Lexicon's top investors in 2005 - Bob McNair, William McMinn and Gordon Cain - were all large donors to Perry's gubernatorial campaign that year.

If this guy stays in the campaign much longer, we're gonna need an "OOPS" tag.

Earlier, Romney also ordered bacon, but subsequently changed his to order to sausage when the poll numbers were tabulated.

Meh, this is pretty minor as far as Perry fark-ups go.

Census Reveals Rising Poverty Rates Across Texas:

"In 2010, 4.4 million Texans - including 1.7 million children - lived below the poverty line, according to estimates by U.S. Census Bureau released Tuesday. That's 18 percent of the total population and 26 percent of children in Texas. To be considered poor, a family of four must have had a household income less than $22,500 in 2010. The rising poverty levels since the national recession hit in 2007 have affected more than 200 of Texas' 254 counties."

Last night, the Texas Workforce Commission approved an extension for peoples' unemployment benefits because unemployment has now risen above 8.5 percent.

Yeah, about that...technically true (lacking context) is the best kind of true, right?

Oh, and the Centre for Immigration Studies says that 81% of the jobs created between 2007 and 2011 went to immigrants, half of them illegals.

Not so great, actually, unless you work for one of Perry's cronies. And the leads we do have come at the expense of basic environmental regulation (as in "put leaky gas drills across the street from playgrounds") and education (as in "let's cut our already overextended teaching force in half, most of these kids are gonna be ditch diggers anyway).

But if you're in the superyacht business then yeah, Texas is OPEN FOR BUSINESS LOLOLOLOL!

Perry's been the worst governor Texas has had in decades. And that's saying something.

Lochsteppe: I predict that another one will quickly take its place. If only there were some way out.

I'm praying for rain,
And I'm praying for tidal waves.

Just think, if politics worked like it did a little over a century ago (everything run by the party machine and candidates did not campaign to purposely made to look like they weren't running for office and it was a grassroots call for their service) Rick Perry would likely be the frontrunner by a mile.

Perry's campain is one of the strongest out there, the problem is it is backing one of the weakest candidates.

RON PAUL and Jon Huntsman, unAmericans that they are, ordered lunch instead.

Jeff Gordon sang Take Me Out to the Ballgame at Wrigley Field and said he was happy to be at "Wrigley Stadium." I'm not even a Cubs fan and I facepalmed after that one.

he's more likely to order a Moons Over my Hammy at IHOP.

What an idiot. If he thinks caucus = primary he'd probably be dumb enough to say that the UK is England.

Clearly he is not presidential material.
