Really? Who did they call?cb1000rider wrote:Perry misspeaks a bit more than usual for a politician. I see no in calling him out on a simple mistake. He got the country wrong, but you know what event he's speaking of.
I'd call him out on the facts around what he is speaking about.... He indicated that the Obama administration didn't make a phone call to address the attack on the embassy. Based on the testimony that I've read, that's simply not true... They did it wrong in a bunch of other ways, but indicating that they wouldn't pick up the phone isn't reality.

But he sure has been a good ally on gun issues.Lucky wrote:What's the big deal? I think by now most people know he's not the sharpest tool in the shed.
The same media who will take a swipe at Perry for misstating the name of a country which incubates terrorists, when both the correct and incorrectly named countries do so, and will take a swipe at GW Bush for inventing terms like "strategery," is also the same media that won't give Obama a hard time for wanting to visit all 57 states, or mock ♂Clinton's attempt to redefine the meaning of "is," or Biden's urging us to fire random shotgun blasts out the window to deter burglars, or ♀Clinton's question, "WHAT does it MATTER?"karder wrote:Personally I get tired of the media hammering politicians for every misspoken word. Perry speaks off the cuff, like a real person, so it is easy to comb through his comments and find bobbles in an attempt to make him look dumb. The media made a living doing this to Bush. There is a difference between misspeaking and lying. Our current President reads carefully written statements off teleprompters so he rarely misspeaks, but I don't trust a single word he says to be true.
It sounds like some people are saying, "He's a tool but he's our tool."Lucky wrote:What's the big deal? I think by now most people know he's not the sharpest tool in the shed.
