It was hilarious reading the threads where people insisted Perry claimed there were only 8 justices. The transcript clearly indicates he wasn’t asked how many justices were on the court, and is consistant with the idea that he was criticizing the 8-member majority that voted against prayer in schools.
And the whole attack on him for not being able to pronounce Sotomayor’s name is hilarious, when you realise that it’s mispronounced repeatedly on news broadcasts, and they often spell it out phonetically in the newspaper because of the difficulty of determining the pronounciation.
They’d rather “believe” Gov. Perry doesn’t know there are 9 Justices on the SC than look at that transcript and admit the truth.
Sad. Sad. Sad.
Perry’s comment on Newt’s “Made up Palestinian people” (before launching into a critique over the administration’s destructive national policy in the Middle East and his total evisceration of Obama about giving our enemies the drone) was a not so subtle dig about how the MSM regularly takes candidates’ comments and blows them out of proportion.
