What else could he do?
Good luck.
He should do what Cain does and say he was only joking and that people need a sense of humor.
In the words of Mary Cooper: “Honey, that’s ain’t gonna work, but you keep trying!”

Oops!
Even Mitt blew it on how long he’d been married.
Romney: “Im a man of steadiness and constancy, he said. Ive married to the same woman for 25 excuse me, I will get in trouble, for 42 years.
And everyone laughed.
As if humor was something new to Perry.
Why, the man’s a walking joke.
I changed from Perry to Cain because Perry couldn't explain the reasons behind some of his policies well enough to convince me that they were soundly-reasoned -- not because he might have a moment of forgetfulness.

He’s like the joke that you mess up the punchline to, and stumble and try and say it again and again (”What was that? What was that, again? Hold on, it’s coming to me! Oh, I forgot, nevermind, but it was really good!”), until it’s not funny. Then you say “Oops.”
Love it!
“Perry couldn’t explain the reasons behind some of his policies well enough to convince me that they were soundly-reasoned — not because he might have a moment of forgetfulness.”
They’re not soundly reasoned because he’s a moron. As they say, “politics is show business for ugly people.” Silly Perry forgets his lines.
Right and Cain never misspeaks. How many things has he said that he has had to walk back so far. Todays was Princess Pelosi.
Media narrative so far: Perry is a closet alcoholic, Cain is a womanizer, Bachmann is a nut, Palin is a trigger-happy reality tv star, and Paul is a radical. The question is which candidate are they going to target next? Romney, Gingrich, or are they going to revisit those other ones?
There’s a difference between “misspeaking” and totally forgetting what the hell you’re talking about - big difference.
At this point, IMHO, his best option is to suspend his presidential campaigning, but keep his name on the ballot; he’d be an asset to balance the ticket depending on who gets the nomination.
Too late. Just like Gerald Ford with his airplane stumble, Perry will be lacerated by the media, especially the self-styled late night comedian political opinion makers. Truth makes no difference to these people. They have power and they know how to use it to further their political goals.
