Maybe if he puts on a second set of glasses it will make him even smarter. Hmmm, better make that three sets of glasses.

Doesn’t matter, he’ll never be president of anything except killing people.

Maybe WE are all wrong: maybe the president then WAS “Ronald Raven”.

How would any of us really know? I doubt any of us actually MET the guy, like Rick Perry did. And the rest of us are saddled with what we’ve read and heard said, whereas, again: Perry MET the guy - and probably asked him, too: ‘Mister President, decades from now I expect to be running for president, so I need to know how to say your name properly’

‘Well, young fellah, it’s Raven, just like in that book, The Raven and the Writing Desk. You seek, that was all about HOW someone like me is different from a writing desk. So, never forget, you young whippersnapper to honor the old birds who rule the roost of this great country.’

Listened to the tape at half speed. Sounds like he said Ronald Raven to me. But then again at one time, when I was very young I thought that euthanasia had something to do with young people in the far east.

Sorry Ricky, you said RAVEN. You’re done. Stick a fork in those glasses.

I think the sound was really bad, and that could be reason why it sounded like Raven instead Reagan. It was close.

Nope. I heard it with my own two ears. Can’t believe he didn’t see that comin’ with his own four eyes.

If it hasn’t been said already, “Quoth the Raven nevermore”.
Your welcome.

Maybe Perry is showing early signs of Ronald Raven’s disease. Sad, could it be true?

Even if he pronounced Reagan’s last name correctly, he gave different numbers for the length of the US/Mexico border, and stumbled around when defining his length of service as governor. He is the same, not-too-smart bumbler he was in 2012. Time to exit stage right, Gov. Perry.

If Perry becomes President…the AP exam for 2017 will change the name to “Totally not bellicose Ronald Raven”.

Who shot Ronald Raven?
Not I said the flea and the little huckle bee
Not I sad santorum at the also-ranner’s forum
Not I said Trump I was taking a huge gold-plated dump
Not I said Rand Paul nor my little friend Jindal
Not I said Rick Perry, at least I think I --oops-- not very
