I believe that what we saw from Rick Perry in the last Republican debate was much worse than a senior moment. I think that his inability to remember all three of the government departments that he wants to totally eliminate - the Department of Commerce, the Department of Education and .....
Oh, yeah - the Department of Energy ends up to be the missing one that he would doom to extinction.
Wouldn't you think that his mind would be full of the evil policies that these malicious government agencies do that cause him to want to get rid of them? In the case of the Department of Energy, wouldn't you think that somewhere in his mind, if he really know what energy policies the Department of Energy promoted that caused him such angst, that the word energy would have popped into his head, causing him to remember the department's name?
I think that Rick Perry has little investment in what he was saying, and that it was merely policy that had been fed to him before the debate. This is why he couldn't recall the name - lack of knowledge, lack of investment, lack of real caring.
