Texas Governor Rick Perry has a major brain fart at Wednesday night’s CNBC debate:
“I will tell you, it is three agencies of government when I get there that are gone. Commerce, Education, and the—what’s the third one there? Let’s see.”
Then his opponents tried to help him remember.
A few choice reactions to Perry’s lapse
Larry Sabato: “To my memory, Perry’s forgetfulness is the most devastating moment of any modern primary debate.”
Rich Lowry: “That might be the most uncomfortable moment I’ve ever witnessed in presidential politics.”
Mona Charen: “That was the greatest flame-out I’ve ever witnessed in a debate.”
