The presidential field for 2016 has become so crowded Jon Stewart decided to refer to it as “19 and counting” — but one new candidate had him excited.
“Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, Rick Perry is running for President!” the host of “The Daily Show” said, before degenerating into a series of animal noises.
Stewart took a look at Perry’s first video spot, filled with soaring music and cinematic portrayals of the former governor.
One line of Perry’s stood out: “We must do right, and risk the consequences.”
“Risk the consequences,” Stewart said, laughing, “may be the most accurate campaign slogan I’ve ever heard.”
“Rick Perry: Risk the consequences,” he added. “It’s the same slogan you use to advocate unprotected sex.”
