WASHINGTON — Rick Perry asserted Friday that President Obama succumbed to a “knee jerk” liberal impulse to use the massacre at a black church in Charleston to push a gun-control agenda.

Calling the attack that left nine worshipers dead an “accident,” the 2016 GOP presidential candidate and former Texas governor also suggested that misuse of therapeutic drugs to treat mental illness might have been a more significant factor than access to firearms.

1. My brain no longer knows how to react to this sort of thing. There is no logic in this world

that allows for processing such a deep level of - what? - idiocy? ignorance? malevolence? hubris?

3. We may have to coin an entirely new word;

none of the old ones seem to fit.

2. Perry is a very, very stupid man..

4. I was hoping for Perry to make it to the Debates before his first Oops moment

That was too much to hope for

5. Well, misuse of therapeutic drugs WITHOUT the gun would have a different ending.
