Texas Gov. Rick Perry seemed a bit, well, giddy during a speech Friday night in New Hampshire
Over the weekend I started seeing notes on Facebook from folks talking about the “interesting” speech Texas Gov. and U.S. presidential candidate Rick Perry delivered Friday night, Oct. 28, in Manchester, N.H. And I got an email from Jack Jett encouraging me to watch video of the speech. So this morning, I did.
Let me just say this: I think Gov. Perry might have had a few sips of an adult beverage before delivering this speech. And I will note that those who believe Perry is a closeted gay man might find some mannerisms in this video that will make them point and yell, “See! I told you so!”
As The Huffington Post points out, the video below is a compilation of only 8 minutes and 23 seconds of a speech that, in its entirety, was about 25 minutes long. And most likely, whoever pieced this video together seems to have been trying to make the governor look less than brilliant. So perhaps it isn’t really fair to judge the speech, or Perry, completely on this video.
But the fact remains, this video is being passed around a lot, and if this is all people have to go on, it’s likely they won’t come away from this with a very high opinion of Rick Perry. He comes off looking silly and childish and, yes, at least a tad bit inebriated.
Watch for yourself below:
Well give him a break, he is having a good time. He is human and I like him.
Nancy – have you been drinking whatever Rick has? This guy is scum! total scum!
Texas has the 16th highest divorce rate in the nation….much higher than New Hampshire’s, but this Texas Bozo wants NH to “protect traditional marriage” by repealing its’ gay marriage law. I love the irony!
Two words: Miss THANG!
did he really touch the pearls?
Perry is a typical GOP homophobic career politician. As Gov of Texas he has taken stimulus money for a variety of projects and then criticizes President Obama’s stimulus package. He continues to borrow money from The Federal Government & still criticizes the Feds for spending the money Texas is borrowing. He complains about Obams’s health plan yet Texas dropped to about 40th in heath care spending. As Gov. Texas went from surplus to approx $27B in debt. He’s been bad enough as Governor, he would be much worse for this country as President.
