i'm extremely strange and of course i am. i think i escaped. on the way home, my son younger at the time, says, "hey dad, you couldn't remember her name, could you?" i said absolutely not. if i had been a texan, i would have said oops. this is a moment. everybody understands and has had. the problem it's perry. there is an anecdote or incident that reinforces a previous stereotype. it really sticks. that is why it is going to stick to him. he hasn't done well in debates and he didn't look as if he was intellectually nimble. it's hard to escape. >> bret: if he wanted attention today, chuck, he got it. he was on every morning talk show. he is doing david letterman tonight and on fox and on greta's show tonight. can he bounce back from this? >> he is doing the only thing he can. to show a sense of humor about it. try and joke. at his own expense. you know, gets credit for that. but let's face it, charles is right.
