Rick Perry, when asked why he said Obama had declared war on religion, had little answer

Keep in mind, George Bush was a bit of a dense Texan too, and he won two terms (depending how you count it). So sad. Perry is so desperate, and all of these eruptions are getting him news, but it's bad news. He's coming off as a major him-bo.  It's also clear that it's not clear what the man actually believes him.  Every time he gets asked about something he said, he has no explanation for it, as if it were all one big talking point written by someone else.  Because it is.  More from Ian Millhiser at ThinkProgress.
