I really wish Perry and his people would stop trying to make a joke about his flub. It had it’s minute of fame and is getting old now.

That is Perry’s sense of humor coming out. The others are whiny and blame everyone else for their screw ups. Perry takes it to himself. As Sheriff Arpaio says, he’s only human not some type of robot.

Your point is well taken. The gaffe is old news and has no bearing on Perry’s ability to lead and govern.

They probably are just trying to show that Perry is at ease with himself and can laugh along with everyone else. There is a certain endearing quality to this ad. He really comes across as a likable, down to earth guy.

You know, MM...I'd go right along with you, except nobody else has let it go, yet.

It's still an object of ridicule by the Perry-haters, et al.

Handling it this way diffuses it.

It’s only running tonight in Iowa to bracket his appearance on Leno.

People talk about his sense of humor every time he makes a mistake, whether it's the three departments or botching the voting age, but I don't think it's good to keep bringing it up either, because most people are not laughing with Perry, they are laughing at Perry.

I am glad he doesn’t cower in embarrassment and hits it head on. Sort of takes the sting from the likes of MSNBC et al.
