In a moment that harkened back to his infamous mental lapse during a November debate, Rick Perry blundered once again when an interviewer asked which federal departments he would abolish.
“Three right off the bat, you know, commerce, interior and energy are three that you think,” said Perry in an interview this morning with Bill Edwards on WTKS Radio in Savannah, GA.
The problem: he replaced the Department of Education, one of the most frequent targets of his criticism, with the Department of Interior.
A Perry spokesman dismissed the notion that the candidate suffered another pratfall, saying that it’s no surprise that the “governor is talking about another federal agency that needs to be looked at and cut.”
