Texas Governor Rick Perry, played by SNL's Bill Hader, paid a visit to 'Weekend Update' to explain his recent strange behavior in New Hampshire that some have speculated was driven by drinking too much alcohol.
Republican presidential candidate Governor Rick Perry gave a remarkable speech in New Hampshire last week that set in motion broad speculation that Perry, who is losing badly in every nationally-recognized poll, was intoxicated. Perry contended the speech was more reflective of the fact that he "felt great" during it, according to the Washington Post, where full video of Perry's speech was included.

He wasn’t drunk. He was just channeling Howard Dean.
That’s the ticket.
Can’t some prescription meds make appear drunk?
“The pepperoni’s were Ambien and the tomato sauce was beer”. LOL!!
IF he wasn’t snookered then what was it?
“IF he wasn’t snookered then what was it?”
It was just a guy trying to give a different kind of speech where everything isn’t so serious like most of his campaign has been, tring a little to hard to be funny, then having the media splice together out-takes to make him look goofy and play it over and over.
It that simple.
Perry, who is losing badly in every nationally-recognized poll,
It is Christmas Day? That is the best gift possible to the American people.
It was a couple of minutes of snips from a 25 minute speech with a little creative doctoring (speeding up the video in parts, etc). If you watch the full thing, it is obvious he wasn’t drunk. Amazing what some idiot on YouTube can start with some free video editing software.
Anti-Perry trolls are easily duped. That’s the peril of shallow thinkers and blind haters.
What a riduculous comment for a candidate to make....Well at least he identifies he's not up for the job. But then he never really wanted it as we know...but the pay to play was irresistable.
“Can’t some prescription meds make appear drunk?”
Yes if you take them with whiskey.
Here is the video:

The man is clearly loaded. If he wasn’t then he is just plain nuts.
That was his normal everyday self. See, the Perrybots can have it both ways.
What a riduculous comment for a candidate to make....
How ridiculous that you think it was Rick Perry, not Bill Hader, an actor on SNL who said that. I guess you think Sarah Palin really said, "I can see Alaska from my Front Porch", instead of Tina Fey in an SNL skit.
It was brave of Gov. Perry to appear on SNL to take on his critics. Unfortunately I don’t think he did himself any favors.
Pretty funny LoL
Talk-show host Howie Carr in Boston's WRKO suggested he was on prescription drugs with no comment by Sandy his cohort who usually steps up to caution Howie such as when "Patches" Kennedy is accused by Howie of using prescription drugs. The NE is primarily for Romney even though Howie would deny it. Mr. Carr also dove into the allegations on Cain having not listened to any media discoveries of the day on the Iowa Evangeltican Christian talk host who had aired the allegations about his female staff to get his own media attention.
So lets continue to tear down the candidates on the Right instead of focusing on Obama and this corrupt White House.Let's continue to support the Left in all the recent accusations built upon soundbites..and Obama will have an easy win in 2012.
This all falls into the irresponsibility of reporting by the media to build up their ratings and run with rumors as it calls under commentary--as it is natural for many to believe the worst in people.
Okay does anyone have a link to the full undoctored version?
I have no idea what was driving Perry's odd behavior & style that night.
However, I have seen diabetics with poorly regulated blood sugar behave as if they were intoxicated.
Rick Perry was not drunk and gave a good speech. Someone edited the speech to give a very false impression. Suggesting anything else is a lie. I expect no less from the liberal side, but what bothers me most is that many Conseveratives also think it is okay to lie. They repeat untrue stories, make snide drive by comments, and post like school yard bullies. Even Conservative sites like National Review had the edited version up for days, and Rich Lowery called the speech strange. Consevatives are fighting each other and letting President Obama win the day.
