Rick Perry: 'A Broken Clock Is Right Once A Day'

God, I knew he was dumb, but i had idea he was dumber than Shrub.


Perry was on Fox News after Trump said during an news conference that the former governor was getting out of the GOP race.

Perry began by misusing a cliche.

"A broken clock is right once a day," Perry said.

He went on to say he was not dropping out of the race

He needs to write out on his palm: Remember, Add 1! so he can look at it and remind himself.

But then he would be talking about how our fivefathers crenined our Constithreetional rights or something.

He's correcting Trump and saying he's NOT getting out of the race. So if Trump is the "broken clock," what is he being right about?
