Whoever wrote Rick Perry’s latest fundraising email should just keep all the money that comes in

November 10, 2011 By Kathy Shaidle

Last night, Rick Perry had a brain freeze when asked which federal departments he would eliminate as president.

After the show, he joked, “I’m glad I had my boots on, cuz I really stepped in it.”

A few hours later, according to a commenter at HotAir, his campaign sent out an email that read in part:

And, if you could, throw in a $5 contribution for every agency you would like to forget. We hope you have a long list. And we promise we will write down every last idea. So we don’t forget.

Still standing in our Boots,

Team Perry

I’m in awe.

Can we just elect the guy who wrote the email?
