C&L's Top 50 Videos Of 2011: #7 Rick Perry Forgets Which Agencies He Would Eliminate

No matter what happens to Rick Perry in the GOP primaries, this video will go down in my book as an all-time classic. Can it get much better than a Republican candidate claiming he's going to pare down government and then forgetting which parts he's going to pare down, or in this case, eliminate entirely?

Clearly Rick Perry was not ready for prime time. Anyone want to start a pool on when he drops out of the race? He's spent more than any other candidate in Iowa, and is still in the second-tier, just ahead of Michele Bachmann.
