This administration is such a joke. 

Mr. Perry, who once called for the elimination of the Energy Department, will begin the confirmation process Thursday with a hearing before the Senate Energy Committee. If approved by the Senate, he will take over from a secretary, Ernest J. Moniz, who was chairman of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology physics department and directed the linear accelerator at M.I.T.?s Laboratory for Nuclear Science. Before Mr. Moniz, the job belonged to Steven Chu, a physicist who won a Nobel Prize.


this is the funniest part of the article- he wanted to eliminate the agency- he said today, that he didn't know what it did when he said that. Typical Perryism.

Kinda' scary isn't it? I doubt he will ever know. 

HA! I'm hoping people will forget he's from Texas!! 

Wouldn't know a quark from a snowflake. 

He'd probably write the difference on his hand! 

Ooops another bogus story the liberals fell for

"Reporters apologized for spreading a bogus New York Times hit piece on Rick Perry Thursday, after new facts came to light that completely undermined the central assertion of the story.

?I?m about to delete this tweet, which spread the rumor about Perry not knowing what energy sec does,? New York Magazine writer Jesse Singal tweeted, referring to an earlier tweet sharing the story. ?I think it?s false.?


link title 

It's not bogus...he wanted to eliminate it. That's a fact.

Now, after some actual study, he realizes what it does. LOL...I mean, how can you deny that?

Perry is Bush reincarnated...lol....he SO looks the part.

Then he opens his mouth, and well....... 

Bogus that he didn't know what the Energy Sec. does. Liberal media trying its best to discredit all Trump nominees.

Liberals too stupid and naïve only read headlines and spread false information. 

I don't think he really knew what the position does.......why would he want to first eliminate it, then after reconsidering, now thinks it should stick around.

To me, that's not knowing what the position is about, plain and simple. 

..and I'm sure it just isn't liberals snickering at this........get real. 

Silence from Fuzzball.

I guess he figured out he bit on another fake news story.

The dude's mouth is full of hooks from these fake news stories.

Have you ever run across someone so jealous of Americans? 

Nope. 

Looking forward to four years of moronic things to make fun of.

Onward! 

Bought a new mirror, did ya? 

Ooops another bogus story the liberals fell for



Nope, it wasn't bogus or false.

That clip of Perry during the debate about the Department of Entergy was ROTFLOL material. 

LOL......... another fool with a hook in his mouth. 

Nope.

I can't even imagine how inadequate a person must feel when they aren't and can't be Americans, yet live here. 

Emp - what is that in response to? 

Rick Perry had no idea what Department of Energy does



Rick Perry had no idea. About anything. Ever. Face facts. 

I can't even imagine how inadequate a person must feel when they aren't and can't be Americans, yet live here.


Once a condescending prick, always a condescending prick. F@#$ you. 

Americans First ALWAYS. 

Emp - what is that in response to??

It's his inner 13 year old girl passive aggressive anger directed at me, since I'm Canadian born. 

Removed, warning, 

I hid fuzzball's comments and it's much nicer now. Everyone should try it. 

come on, guys- when he was in the republican primaries, everyone laughed at him, pubs and dems! He's an embarrassment to Texas- you don't have to defend him, now!!! 

Are you referring to trump, or perry?

It's amazing how many people defaulted to trump when they had no other option. Duped by the infowars alt reicht and Putin. Sad! 

Perry even forgot the name of the agency he wanted to eliminate, which he now wants to head, during the debates. Classic duh moment for Perry, in front of the entire country. SAD and STUPID 

Corpseman. 

Is he still going to push for secession?


 

Rick Perry didn't know what a governor does either, so, makes sense. 

Oh, but he's so cute, has a great southern accent and great hair! Isn't that enough? We haven't been choosing our officials for legitimate experience or ability for a while, you know, first black president, first woman president...oh wait!? 

Hillary 2016......... LOL

Well, it looks like the DoEnergy is here to stay with Trump.

It seemed a quite popular department to eliminate recently with both the republicans and many on this board.

It seems to have a small revival with the right.
