The panelists on Fox News’s The Five couldn’t decide what drug Rick Perry was on when he gave his widely publicized off-kilter speech in New Hampshire. “That reminded me when I take an Ambien on a plane and have a scotch,” Greg Gutfeld exclaimed, suggesting Perry had some drinks to loosen up as Joe Scarborough had suggested. “The difference between the right and the left is the left says crazy stuff when they’re sober. I’d rather have a drunk Perry than a sober Obama.”

“That looked more like shrooms!” Bob Beckel chimed in. Dana Perino defended the Texas Governor, saying he just got a little excited.

“It’s possible he was overcompensating and trying not to be stiff,” Perino argued. “He was having a good time with the audience.”

“One rule of the presidential politics that always used to scare me whenever a candidate gives a speech to a crowd that’s with him,” explained Beckel. “When you go to your friends and you give speeches, you have a tendency to get out and say things you wouldn’t normally say.”

Eric Bolling was visibly irritated by the speculation that Perry was under the influence of some drug, saying that too much was being made of his demeanor.

“You guys don’t like him when he’s quiet, you don’t like him when he’s happy,” Bolling scolded. “He went out and — look, there is no indication he was — there was no proof he was drinking, had drugs! Did anyone take apart what he said?”

“He looked unstable!” Andrea Tantaros added.

The FIVE know unstable, and if they say your unstable you are. Romney just has to shut up and he wins nomination by a landslide.

Why is everybody judging the Republican candidates based on the things they say and do? Shouldn’t they be judged according to religion, social status, and skin color?

“The difference between the right and the left is the left says crazy stuff when they’re sober. I’d rather have a drunk Perry than a sober Obama.”

LAME. This had nothing to do with Obama. I guess it’s so hard to defend the crazy republicans sometimes that you have to change the subject to someone else.

Hold on a second.

Boils can’t stand mocking Parry for LOOKING LIKE a DERANGED MORON of HIS OWN DOING, but he is allowed his racists crap with a slap on the wrist.

Being a lush is not disqualifying in the Republican primary.

It’s like clockwork. Step 1) Change the subject. Step 2) Talk about Obama in unsubstantiated deranged rhetoric.

The truth is a bitter pill to swallow. A few folks on the right need some water…

First of all, the spacebar is your friend.

Second, it was Ron Paul who said all of the drugs that you listed should be legal in one of the first debates.

I can’t stand Bolling. Something about the boy (not man) makes my hair stand on end. I think one day a big scandal will erupt about him; something really awful and non consensual.

He’s the sort of egomaniac that hates women, drives a ridiculous sports car to compensate for his small manhood, constantly has racial anger eruptions and devolved into fits of anger perhaps violent. He’s a first rate creep and fits in well at Fox. I’m sure he’s creeped out every blonde there over his tenure.

Honestly I hope Perry was on something,tipsy or something because anybody acting like that and not drunk,high etc shouldn’t be in charge of anything.Truth be told,we’d be better off having someone who imbibed a bit in the white house,someone who did what regular people did and more importantly could identify with what naormal people did,what is and wa in thier lives and mistakes they had made or are making.

But it won’t be Perry.Never was going to be.And like the attention focused on Cain,the attention focused on Perry is a waste of time and effort,a distraction from what matters.

As for The Five,man this show is love hate for me.I’m a fan of Red eye and like Greg.This show has some Red Eye vibe but then they threw in Eric Bolling,The Donny Deutsch of Fox News (you don’t know why he is there,what he has done,but you know you hate him),Bob Beckel,the token lefty but it being FNC they pick a lefty who is certifiable,and usually a couple of right wing women,generally attractive enough to distract you,like Dana Perino and Kim G (you spell it for me),who I like but some times are vapid.I’m not sure that’s how I want to spend the early evening.

My guess the two on that panel with the best eye of spotting someone who is impaired are gutfeld and Beckel. I started out not caring for gutfeld but the more I see him I like him and his acerbic wit.
