Well, there goes another one. Rick Perry, has left the 2012 campaign trail.
Perry came into the race like a whirlwind. And why wouldn’t he? After a few years of “change” that has left many Americans disillusioned, here was a Texas governor with great employment stats who literally looked and sounded exactly like Josh Brolin imitating George W. Bush. However, once Perry started appearing at debates, the gaffes started piling up and people were left thinking more of Will Ferrell than Brolin.
Yes, Rick Perry had some pretty tremendous gaffes. However, like fellow former candidate Herman Cain, there was just something likable about Perry’s mistakes. I mean, how could you hate Will Ferrell? As I said during a write up of one of these gaffes, Perry really put proof to the old chestnut about “a guy you could have a beer with.”
The only problem was that America looked at Perry and realized they had absolutely zero desire for their bumbling drinking buddy to get anywhere near the White House.
However, now that his campaign is over, perhaps we should sit back, relax, pop one of those beers open if we’ve got ’em, and celebrate the six oopsiest moments of Rick Perry’s campaign.
