Rick Perry New Hampshire Video Fail

[aandreya]

he looks a bit retardet.

[awoolgow]

Can we just agree it's Romney vs Obama!

[dukenthaylor]

He is taking this GW Bush impression WAAAY too far!

[XICANOXOC]

LMAO

[VanessaTexasGal]

Doesn't he look a bit like that famous evangelical who did meth?

[billuvill]

I am not a republican, will probably never vote for a republican, but don't see what Rick did wrong. I still don't understand what was the big deal with Dean's scream? Maybe because I am not an American and don't care how many wives/girlfriends/boyfriends a candidate has or if he finds a bottle of syrup amusing.

[Trips1103]

Ok ... by this video alone I can't see how this guy is "unbalanced". I haven't watched other videos of him yet. I've only viewed written material, news, etc. It's worth checking out a few other videos for, but on this along you're stringing him up for nothing. Be real.

[BigJohnWoody]

It's funny that while acting like this, he becomes instantly more likeable (and infinitely less electable).

[Augmata]

I'm really starting to like that guy. Never thought I would say that.

[unamaxify]

maybe the guy just really likes his sirup

[coltor9]

I wonder if he was giggling like that when the reporters uncovered his Ni99erhead Ranch?

[ApatheticOmniscience]

I've seen worse. This isn't interesting... 

[reezdog]

TYT you guys are crazy. I get like that with Ketchup flavored chips. Common give the guy a break!

[thoughtchallenge]

More likely Xanax...I've seen people take that and act really goofy, especially the first time...maybe he got a prescription.

[RLG85019]

I would vote for him if he admits he smokes weed

[ryansmithc]

@RLG85019

Haha same. He probably smoked a joint and finished that whole bottle afterwards.

[dukenthaylor]

@RLG85019 and ate the brownies through his mother's umbilical! XD

[DillonDee1]

As bad as Perry is, he's still better than Romney or Cain

[gotitans999]

@DillonDee1 And there are 100 other candidates running for President that you don't know about because you are a sheep who watches these networks. But one you might have heard of is amongst the best - Ron Paul.

[DillonDee1]

@gotitans99 --

Yes & I was a delegate for Ron Paul at our Texas Republican Convention in the last election

And the Corporate interests wouldnt even let him speak for 2 minutes

[Cuddlebunzzzz]

@gotitans999 you Ron Paul bots don' t really have room to call others sheep now, considering how you all blindly and unquestioningly support every single thing he does or says. the fact that all of you love to call others "sheep" and regurgitate his rhetoric proves that you're all stuck in a hive mentality, just like the rest of us.

[gotitans999]

@Cuddlebunzzzz You're right - obviously you know me, watch me 24/7 and know that I blindly accept his ideology without critically thinking about it. Obviously, I agree with him 100% and have zero discrepancies.

[Cuddlebunzzzz]

@gotitans999 so you like to make assumptions about others but can't handle it when someone does the same to you eh?

[ArtypNk]

Damn, Michael is sporting a nice beard.

[chrlpolk]

I think his behavior was appropriate for a public maple syrup presenting ceremony. How would YOU react when being presented, in grand ceremony, with a bottle of maple syrup? Of course he's gonna act a little sappy (lol)

[GManGT]

all that Texas red meat he's been eating rotted his brain.

[AbonZel3]

I don't like Perry, but I don't understand this. It was goofy, weird, and I like to laugh at it, but a problem? Can someone explain to me why I should care about this? I don't understand why this should sink him. I understand why it might sink him, because we blow stupid things out of proportion, but what is the actual problem here?

[ArtypNk]

@AbonZel3

Possible president of the county being high as fuck. High or drugged up people can do some wicked man shit "as a goof". Next thing you know, he wakes up with a head ache and there are troops rolling to Iran.

[pinkycheeks]

@AbonZel3 i think it was because up until this point, perry has presented himself as an astute, composed, gentlemen-like candidate. it was very strange to see him act so unhinged in front of potential voters. i don't think there is an actual problem, it's not like he said anything bad or offended anybody so as to derail his campaign.

[MMA]

@AbonZel3 I completely agree with your sentiment. They are blowing this out of proportion and overanalyzing it. So he's being a bit goofy--big deal. People claim that they don't want "robotic" candidates, but when a candidate behaves somewhat spontaneously, they get mocked. Howard Dean's "Dean Scream" is another example. No one would've given a damn about it if the news media hadn't sensationalized it.

[0ChuckNorrisIsGod]

Idk why but i feel sympathy for this guy

[lordfredplus]

Fuck rick p

[bonco09]

u know when u "click in" for a moment and start think out of the box, about how u are, how u are seen by others? I think Perry did that while he was watching a jim carrey movie and are try to act like him there. :) those republican candidates are fuckt up, i can not belevie that half of u.s keep on voting fore those.....

[bahamiangreek101]

LOL!

[mhc12k]

Rick likes that Cali Kush

[TheGrayWolf96]

I could see myself acting like Rick Perry. Personally, I would never vote for him, but it sounds like Cenk is just being a jerk. This is not criticism; it's just mean. Sorry I had to say that.

[BlackMambakins]

This is a win win americans see what a moron perry is andkick him off the campaine trail and TEXANS see his dumb ass and dont vote for him again. As a Texan I see this as a win win.

[alteredbeasts]

@BlackMambakins I 100% agree as a fellow Texan.

[Laughingblades]

Rick Perry is high... ON JESUS...

Why u hatin on a good Christian like Perry?

Oh Lord, please bless our special operators.

[vince225566]

I'm surprised he didn't take his clothes off and do the crab walk while singing Rick Astley's "Never gonna give you up".

[DriveThruOnly]

this was my hope all along for the republican candidates - that they would eventually weed themselves out of the race with their own stupidity.

[TheUrbanSquirrel]

He's not high, Cenk. He's gay. He's just slipped into his natural skin there, instead of wearing his death-penalizing, gun-loving, Texas cowboy persona. When you listen to the entire speech, he's not not slurring or stumbling or spacey. If you'd never seen him at the debates (where he plays tough guy, badly), you'd think he's just some gay comedian hired to warm up this audience.

[thelunatiksgrl]

LOL!!!

[shadowgloria]

Just kind of seems to me that Perry was trying to have fun with the situation. He was laughing, joking, having a good time, but he probably doesn't know the correct way to do so. I think he might be a bit socially awkward or something, but I doubt he was high on anything. Still, I do hope this cuts him out of the running. I'd much rather see someone completely fucking nuts win the primaries (i.e. Bachmann) so that the Reps have no chance at winning the generals. This is still too much, though.

[angelusp777]

Cenk

[chocolatedonut31]

Umm, non-issue? I live in the Adirondacks, where a ton of syrup is made, and everyone does that with syrup... That's how you see how thick it is...

[DarkEmergence]

I was thinking less Howard Dean in Iowa and more Brendan Fraser at the Golden Globes.

[crudnup]

he looked normal to me, he probably tilting the bottle to see how think the syrup is, it looked really runny compared to the usually gloopy syrup

[highbury10]

My goodness, Cenk has become really Partisan!!! It is disgusting. What is wrong with what Perry did? Is that a story? End of this!

[EskiltheWanderer]

Dude, he's totally freaking high. The way he laughed and covered his mouth... I'm in severe doubt that he wasn't having a great, great time, if you catch my drift.

[yes4me]

Great guy... I want him for the republican nominee as he is less likely to get pass anything than Obama.

[dmcarefuldriver]

ironically he supports an increase to the war on drugs

[undertakerimpact]

maybe something wierd happend to him where he switched bodies with his son like in freaky friday o.O

[carsonj85]

The smile was enough to make him look creepy.

[zappp111]

Totally wasted, closet gay.

[kakemonster83]

@zappp111 No way. He looks like hapiness is the least used ability in him. He seems almost out of controll of feelings in the moment like a girl or a demented person with no ability to control. Its ll weird though.

[ForceRecon198]

I dunno man, is it wrong for a man to want some damn maple syrup? I'd be happy too. I love good pancakes. Either that's the case, or Rick Perry saw it and thought it was a bottle of fancy whiskey because that shot across my mind as I watched the clip.

[bulbinking]

Maybe he really really REALLY likes maple syrup...

[CarolineATRC]

Rick looks very like Ted Haggard in this clip

[tarik23boss]

Am i the only one who DIDN'T think what he did with the maple syrup was weird??? The clip yesterday they showed of him giving his speech OK that was weird but come he didn't do anything weird with the maple syrup he just held it up and smiled

[GuyJolly]

I want some of what Perry is using...

[HARMLESSPictures]

Charlie Sheen for President!

[badjac10]

press 5 for huhahuhahu

[squirrelflight]

I love the Paranormal Activity ad in the corner...

[itchykami]

Honestly, I'd argue that he could have simply had a -lot- of cough syrup. Maybe he had a cold and was all 'I'ma nip this in the bud' and now he's hallucinating on stage.

[ForceRecon198]

@itchykami Hehehe, a lot of -cough-syrup-cough cough-

#epicplayonwords?

[GSSAGE7]

If he's high on life, I want to know where I can get some of that life.

[Udinbak]

most likely cocaine, or possibly powdered mdma, up his left nostril - 1:15 - see: sniff & eyetwitch combo.

[jxsilicon9]

I didn't know New Hampshire was known for maple syrup.

[wordlyfe]

Its fun to watch these guys implode.  Cain and Perry in the same week. This makes room for Ron Paul to go against Romney.

[dropilol]

Mental breakdown....

[andron333]

This was a weak defamatory smear by young turks. There are plenty of reasons to bash this man based on his ridiculous policies, but this was uncalled for. Young turks lost credibility by projecting their opinion that he was high without any evidence to support their claim.

[ohbuddyiliketowatch]

@andron333 lol

[pauloblob]

HIgh as a Kite!!!!

[Concequence]

He's high on something, and I'm betting it ain't that legal. I'm guessing LSD..

[nowwithmorekick]

Ron Paul has the coveted pot head vote.Rick Perry has the coveted "huffing" vote.

[leeroynaggins]

I think he should be President.

Wouldn't it be fun!!

[Acrimonator]

Some one on his staff found him a little aggressive and put MDMA in his drink...

[HyrbidHermit]

Reminds me of Enos from Dukes of Hazzard. "Shazam!"

[JustinC721]

Perry Sheen 2012

[bluesboy25000]

@JustinC721 That's a Winning ticket if I ever did see one

[theaceofspades39]

he's probably just nervous in all of the attention come on TYT this isn't even a story

[0prahTV]

wtf! who cares? the dude's just having fun. tyt is splitting hairs.

[EvilFerret55]

I have to disagree with bcbowar50,

He had a 0% chance of me voting for him, but if he smokes weed, he has a 3% chance of me voting for him now.

Of course, that's IF, and only IF, Ron Paul DOESNT win the Nomination.

[Umberto2]

reminds me a little of Ted Haggard if you know what i'm sayin'

[crackerkiller89]

@Umberto2 Im glad im not the only one who saw that little bit of flamboyancy.

[bunkmasterflex]

@crackerkiller89 I saw it. Oh you got this syrup as a gift, that's the nicest thing anybodies ever done.

[Cyanidesin]

He looked either high or he was being really sarcastic about receiving the gift. I'd get high too in someone like Herman Cain might actually upset my run for presidency.

[newfagscanttrif0rce]

WTF? I just watched that clip waiting for something to happen. Nothing happened. Sometimes this 'news' show just attacks Republicans just for the sake of it. Very poor showing.

[JuanVoyce]

How can I say this without sounding accusatory--DRUG FIEND!!

[ilikrandomness]

I may have just gotten a contact high from that

[EpiclsME]

Wow...it wasn't even that big of a deal. I had to watch the video twice to realize that his reaction was a bit peculiar.

[hd92122]

Canadian maple syrup does it better. #fact

[nmr20067]

Rick-the Texas dream act-Perry.

[Uristdorf]

He was smiling? Is this really a big deal?

[gsanchezojeda]

@Uristdorf

Did you watch the video imbecile? Are you really that stupid?

[Uristdorf]

@gsanchezojeda He's running for president. He's trying to put on a likeable face. Plus there are people who smile and gape when they get nervous, or when they're trying to fake emotion. You don't have to like him to point out the fact that this is not something new or weird.

Is there really any reason to get insulting? Apparently you feel that there is. Please die in a coma.

[Stingerbillion]

Maybe he had mental break down, who knows....

[Stingerbillion]

No media showed this except you guys. Everyone else are obsessed over Herman Cunt's 12 years old sexual harrassment.

Thanks TYT.

[Kariakas]

WTF is up with a poll before the video.

I like what TYT does but I agree that this is much to do about little. I also do not like Perry but this is not why. He's just acting over enthusiastically and that possibly part of his strategy for public appearances. It's similar to a fundamentalist or TV preacher.

[sinbysin666]

Was there more to it? Yeah, sure he acted a little weird, but I wouldn't call him unbalanced because of that. When you're in the spotlight in front of a lot of people, it's easy for these kinds of things to happen, if you're unfocused, or have something unrelated on your mind. Or simply, put too much thought into what you're gonna do on stage. But... I don't know.

[enmiliar]

@sinbysin666 Yeah. There was more of it. And weirder, during the actual speech.

[sinbysin666]

@enmiliar yeah, I saw it right after I left the comment. Bizarre.

[crackerkiller89]

@sinbysin666 Youre thinking of this in terms of an amateur being on stage. He has been Governor of Texas for TEN years. Im sure he doesnt get nervous in public settings anymore. Besides, if this was true, why was he completely normal during the debates? I think Cenk was right with his original speculation that he is high.

[sinbysin666]

@crackerkiller89 I find it highly unlikely that he took a hit before the speech.

[Hairysteed]

That's it?! I was expecting way more!

[quicktoes13]

Rick Perry acts and talks like the Adam West character in Family Guy ... good stuff :p

[MrWarrenLO]

So the last measure of the check and balance system for the death penalty in Texas is unbalanced.

[Avenue72nd]

Anyone remembers the movie What's Eeating Gilbert Grape? Leonardo Dicaprio played a boy with retardation.. I swear, Perry acted just like the character with the hands and smile...

[201stars]

was it even that serious the clip was only like 30 seconds long

[sharmark]

Hahaha.... for you guys who are defending Perry on the basis of this clip watch some other clips from the same speech. It was a truly bizarre spectacle.

[tylowylo12321]

this actually made me like rick perry a little... before i didnt at all

[RebornLegacy]

I think Rick Perry is a gay alien. 

[ForceRecon198]

@RebornLegacy Rick Perry= Roger from American Dad? XD

[NanoHorizon]

@RebornLegacy No that's definitely Jack Nickelson disguised as a very stupid human.

[cwongchung]

@RebornLegacy a.. gaylien?

[Jdrizzz]

I don't like Rick Perry, but this is just a massively poor attempt at defamation. Do some real journalism, and stop with this absolute shit!

[redbonegal]

Rick Perry is a pothead!!

[num1not2]

This is possibly the weakest argument ever, you have to be a little more mature Cenk. Its sad i have to say this, but you have to convince me again that you are not bias.

[tylowylo12321]

@num1not2 he is CLEARLY biased. but everyone is...

[Hairysteed]

@num1not2 TYT is admittedly biased but they're still way more honest than Faux News.

[ThePinkDaises]

Did Michael lose weight?

[hawie55]

Rofl i hate the guy.. but i dont see anything over the norm really? some ppl are just overly goofy at home lol and he let some of that goofy out it looks like.

maybe i have to watch the whole vid theres probably that for 25mins then it will be something i guess.

[633390]

i really don't she what the big deal is

[rbauer1632]

Will he be able to bow out gracefully?

[edgwaterprog]

A sorry sight when the great fall.

[Stablemable2]

The Bugaloos flying high.

[TheIllegalPotato]

He saw that dark brown liquid in a glass bottle and got excited...then he found out it was syrup...

[dhebert111]

If your responsible for the murder of innocent men on death row, you`d probably be high all the time too.

[kerry31088]

Maybe it's sleep deprivation, cause after I had my 2nd son I was gone for about a month man. Two small kids no sleep lol

[derberg19486]

DRUG TEST him he is a government employee who showed signs of being high.

[brandnutopian]

Barbiturates and booze, that's my guess.

I've seen the effects of this cocktail many times and you just don't know a person until you've seen them intoxicated with that combination.

It's like a truth serum and all politicians should be required to orate under this influence. I wonder if I could get enough signatures to put that to popular vote?

[LamentOfInnocence1]

Tom Cruise anyone?

[shahzadkayani74]

Nice channel guys

[lowenklee]

I don't like Perry. But that being said,

What a petty and juvenile punditry we have. No wonder our politicians are such shit.

[KnightofGascogne]

Rick Perry = Cowboy Under Acid

[mwhitten77]

It's probably likely that Rick Perry had a few drinks with friends/colleagues/supporters that afternoon...big deal. Rick Perry wasn't gonna win anything anyway.

[Animan223]

I dont see how this is really wrong. He just looks like he's having a good time, maybe trying to seem less like a politician and more like a normal guy. Granted, he's taking it much too far for normalcy, but i dont think this is anything condemning.

[DimebagsZombie]

R.I.P. Rick Perry Campaign

[mwhitten77]

It's funny how Cenk thinks that Perry is "high as a kite" because he's acting weird for 25 minutes, and that's the way Cenk acts all the time: acting like stuff is really funny when it's not, making strange gestures with his hands, talking in a strange tone of voice...I mean, I hate Rick Perry and all, but still, I don't think Cenk has any room to talk.

[SupaAmi]

@mwhitten77 You're kidding right? Cenk doesn't nearly as bizarre as Rick Perry. Cenk jokes around but he doesn't act HIGH or insane. And let's not forget another important thing: CENK IS GOOFY ALL THE TIME. Rick Perry has never acted that way before, he's a like a completely different person and he DOES act high. Just look at how he holds the maple syrup and looks at it like he's seeing a bottle of maple syrup for the first time. The way Rick Perry acted was embarrassing and inappropriate.

[DracoRincewind]

@mwhitten77 You do realize there is a difference between being a political pundit and being a politician/presidential candidate. What is considered acceptable behavior for each is very different.

[SketchyBack]

Totally looks high.

[adr58]

Koch brothers drugging him so Cain wins? Yes?

[juliaisafilmbuff123]

Maple Syrup is the only thing NH actually produces, go figure. I'm from there, BTW.

[rasnac]

Ithink that guy is having a nervous breakdown.

[invalidacess]

this is why we should pass legislation banning anyone from texas running for president....

[seamoremonster]

Rick Perry....holy shit...but it won't be the first time the US elects a village idiot from Texas for president.

[09smitel]

I'm willing to bet that he either smoked weed or did acid before getting on that stage.

[NiceFaceProductions]

aww Look who got a head start on No Shave November :)>

[mhughet]

This seems way overblown. His reaction was funny but it wasn't that weird. I don't even like Rick Perry btw.

[pashav]

@mhughet no, it was weird alright haha

[maximusjbk]

@mhughet Yeah I agree.

[gsp1175]

@mhughet Agreed. It's strange, but who cares? 

[bcbowar50]

If Rick Perry smokes weed, the chances of me voting for him have gone from .01% to .03%.

[StevieDisopolis]

@bcbowar50 that's ok. It has to be over .08% to be above the legal voting limit :P

[demarcus39209]

Guess he wanted to get the weed smokers vote.

[gazbo66]

First thing I thought was - that dude is off his tits.

[defiythelie]

I think Perry has been doing coke.

[oroizorz]

I'd never vote for the guy, but I don't think there's anything wrong with this... To me it looked like he was just having a good time. Maple syrup is pretty awesome, maybe he was just stoked about that. I dig TYT, but I don't think I'd call Perry imbalanced just because I saw him get a little giddy over some syrup. I can't believe this is getting so much attention. Then again, I thought the Howard Dean thing was blown way out of proportion too.

[KingArthur13th]

@oroizorz Have you seen the other video of him (the high on life video), it's a lot more strange then this.

[77Fortran]

@oroizorz Take some time to watch the rest of his performance. I would find it amazing if you couldn't appreciate that there was something 'off' about him in that speech. Body language!

[MultiSamTaylor]

I've known it for years: Perry is certifiably insane!!!
