Rick Perry's troubles weren't limited to the debate floor on Tuesday night.
After the Washington Post/Bloomberg forum, the Texas governor made an appearance at a Dartmouth College fraternity house, where he appeared to mix up the dates of the Revolutionary War.
The gaffe occurred when Perry was asked about states' rights during a question-and-answer session at Dartmouth's Beta Theta Pi fraternity.
"Our Founding Fathers never meant for Washington, D.C. to be the fount of all wisdom," Perry said, per ABC's Arlette Saenz. "As a matter of fact they were very much afraid if that because they'd just had this experience with this far-away government that had centralized thought process and planning and what have you, and then it was actually the reason that we fought the revolution in the 16th century was to get away from that kind of onerous crown if you will."

*** What happened? Did they fall of his face or something? ***
He was wearing fake eyebrows, and he does this “I’m looking all pensive, and drawing on my sage wisdom” thing, and he puts his hand up to his brow bone when he does that, and he rubs his brows..
He rubbed the ends of his eyebrow off, revealing, the real eyebrow, and the caterpillar eyebrow was above his eyebrow on one end, and hanging down to his eyelid on the other end.

That’s funny.
I’ll bet he was feeling pretty brow-beaten by the end of the debate.
I agree we should give Perry a pass on this, and anyone who disagrees doesn’t have a heart! :)
Oooh, that one would've been a hit on my state board this morning.
By the way fake eyebrows for men are apparently called guybrows..I did not know that.
