Rick Perry Releases A Desperate Ad Mocking… Himself!

Pema Levy

You know your campaign is on the rocks when your best tactic is to make fun of yourself.

<...>

The ad begins with a clip from Perry’s disastrous CNBC debate in which he tried to list the three departments he would cut but could only name two. Next, the self-deprecation continues with Perry admitting, “if you want a slick debater, I’m not obviously your guy.” But, he says, if you want a balanced budget amendment, a flat tax, and a part-time Congress, “I’m your man.” The kicker, of course, comes at the end: “I’m Rick Perry and…what’s that line again?”

According to Politico, the new ad will air tonight when Rick Perry goes on Jay Leno, where the embattled candidate will undoubtedly try to win over voters by making fun of himself. The point seems to be: compared to sex scandals and flip-flopping, a few gaffes here and there aren’t so bad. But it’s pretty bad when that’s the best you’ve got.

3. Probably the best he can do now, since he has too many donors to drop out this early.

4. I bet he did this because his advisors told him to

And he went along with it, gritting his teeth all the way, because like Bushy-Boy before him, Perry has lived in a bubble most of his adult life and can't handle jokes at his expense.
