Perry is a drunk, happens to a lot of boys living with alpha females. Poor thing.

Then you're not a very good judge of what being drunk is like. He's certainly not drunk. His enunciation is great; he doesn't over-enunciate as someone who is inebriated and trying to cover it up attempts to do. His gestures are appropriate for what he's saying. He speaks cogently and coherently. His physical coordination isn't impaired at all. His eye tracking and head movement are all in synch. Compared to other clips I've seen of him, he comes across as relaxed, enjoying the occasion, and at ease in speaking to this group. Nothing bizarre about it at all. Your comments, though, seem quite a bit like some of those You-Tube comments.

And, no, I'm not a Rick Perry supporter. I never have been. I'm most partial to Herman Cain and Sarah Palin.
