Rick Perry’s doing his best to turn his excurciating “oops” moment last night to his advantage. Alex said it was the end of his campaign, but Perry certainly doesn’t see it that way. On NBC’s Today show, he quipped:
And his campaign has just sent this email out to his supporters:‘There are so many agencies out there, that I’m like many Americans and we would like to forget that the Department of Energy is one of those.’
It’s a commendable, if likely futile, attempt.
