In the latest GOP "debate" (rote reiteration of their shallow, tired ideological bullshit and blaming Obama for everything on earth) Rick Perry demonstrated once again that he's of sub-average intelligence. It was beyond him to remember which 3 Federal Department he'd (supposedly) targeted for extinction. The corporate media made a big stinking deal out of this, like it was some monumental blunder, death to his campaign. The fact that the third department he would erase from existence is the Energy Department elicited no critique or even comment.
The Energy Department is the Department that builds nuclear weapons. It is also the Department that decommissions them. As the U.S. is constantly processing nuclear weapons, how is it that no one wondered why Perry considered these functions inessential and wasteful? And this with the GOP demanding that Obama build MORE nuclear weapons in the coming decade (a demand that the predictably spineless Obama acceded to).
On the other hand, the fact that Herman Cain sexually harasses and now we learn assaults women just seems to roll off Cain like water off a duck's back. The cowards on CNBC only dared mention it just once, and the mob of GOP fanatics that CNBC chose to use as a studio audience (to create the illusion of popularity for far right wing extremists I guess) lustily booed the question and cheered Cain's sickeningly self-righteous response.
