This Is The Moment Rick Perry's Presidential Chances Flash Crashed
1 minute 40 seconds into this clip is where Rick Perry's presidential chances flash crash. Literally. As the attached InTrade chart shows, the Perry presidential contract imploded from a prevailing level of about 9 by 60% to 3 in the span of milliseconds, and has since dead cat bounced to about a 50% decline. Who would have thought that the vacuum tubes have now taken over presidential odds as well? As for Perry's presidential chances, this being America, where the population gets precisely the president it deserves, we would not be at all surprised if this epic moment of self-humiliation did not just cement Perry's election chances. In other news, ISDA has just declared all CDS written on Perry to be untriggered as his political suicide was completely voluntary.
And the actual Flash Crash. Source: Intrade

lol...i'm sure that's where he'd rather be right now...nice work william! (as always)
Effin hilarious! I have a thought ? Berlusconi / Merkel , on a Teeter/ Totter!
Which one of the guys is the one that says: "Dude, you nailed it!"
Very nice illustration though!
Jesus banzai you really sent me out of the chair laughing over that one.
Bill you owe me a clean pair of chaps. Pissed myself. Best laugh of the week No 1 you are, warped yes but funny as all get-up
That wasn't outside the La Te Da Club, was it?
http://www.scribd.com/doc/62541872/Rick-Perry-Spent-78-at-La-Te-Da-Drag-Queen-Show-in-Florida-in-2009
Spewing coffee everywhere!!!
You owe me a new lap top ;-)
From now on, questions aimed at Mr. Perry will be drastically simplified.
- Mr. Perry, where are you physically standing right now?
- Mr. Perry, do you believe it is currently nighttime?
- Mr. Perry, will the month of March occur in 2012?
"Uh, I'm standin'? Shucks, I thought I was nappin'.....well of course I believe in nighttime! And nighttime should be cut from the budget of uh, that one regulatin' body that does it. We need more daytime because that's when people work-daytime, and we need to put more people to work!
Will March occur in 2012? Heck no! That month ain't gonna happen after the Mayan calender blows up! And that's why we got to find Hugo Chavez and hog tie him up! Him and his Mayan Calender!
One more thing, uhm, uh, what was I gonna say, oh yeah, this whole Iran thing is drivin' me nuts! We should have the UN title their country, "Isitdownandshutup" That will teach 'em! I mean, we can't have Chavez and that guy who is the King of Iran runnin' around the Midddle East blowing things up with their crazy calenders and what not! It's not safe!"
LMAO... made me laugh... and I'm a Vulcan!
Rick is just another villiage idiot from Texas--what a brain fart!
As much as I love Ron Paul, and will vote for him in my state's primary, his ideas scare the sheeple too much. How can we make Ron more consumer friendly? He needs a top notch PR firm to smooth the edges out and clarify his message. The masses on food stamps will never vote for anyone who's platform is to truly and drastically cut government spending and eliminate the Fed. How can we get the sheeple to see beyond their shortsighted and short term pleasure seeking motivation??
Uhm....with free beer?
Budweiser, we need you to donate to Ron Paul, stat!
You're Beautiful!
That was a great GW Bush impersonation!
Giant douche
Turd sandwich
Who you voting for?
I'll take the sandwich. It sounds like it could be edible.
Douche could be salad dressing...
I like how Perry turned to Ron Paul to help him. Even Romney appears to listen more intently when Ron Paul speaks. Says a lot about the psychology.
Vote!
http://thelastword.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/11/09/8726049-which-candidat...
Ron Paul has exploded on intrade : @7.5 !!! was barely 2.5 a couple of days ago. Like Gold , the price suppresion schemes meet reality ??
...well, if we understand the past we can see the long line of evil idiots that have been given the title of potus...so...it looks like this perry persona grata is well qualified to lead a nation of lemmings...do we actually believe this madness will blossom into the red roses of utopian nirvana?
(by the way...i think it was just a fat finger causing this puppet to lose his strings)
This will not matter one bit to the life-begins-at-arousal-becuase-that-is-what-jesus said crowd.
You make Perry sound like a smooth talker.
You mean this "life-begins-at-arousal-becuase-that-is-what-jesus said crowd"?

I believe the third one was the department of dumbfuckery.
I disagree. I think Perry just showed how capable he is in following orders.
the problem is Obama is such a useful idiot the democrats will easily win, once Paul splits the anti-obama vote a la Perot.
The whole Cain deal is to take Paul off the radar going into the convention. They can't have a Romney - Paul run-off. Its republican control suicide.
i love how's he laughing the whole time and smiling. he didn't realize the joke was on him!!!!
he absolutly doesnt give a shit - just killing time till party time
I can't leave out Herman, and his own little Perry moment....... http://youtu.be/PvDtAoICoaE Is this guy really leading the poles?
Bronislaw Komorowski leads the Poles.
Well, not sure if all Polish people like him, but in the polls he is leading for some reason - no idea why. What was that WB bumper sticker - "slap that bootie - 2012' or something like that?
Stripper poles?
?
+1 for the Perry impersonation!
/
Wow.............all hat and no cattle
Great comment!
When the USA finally goes metric, that might save Perry. Wearing a Ten Liter Hat ought to just about cover whatever he might have to put under it.
Go RP (Ron Paul that is)!
Perry has Bush's wireless earpiece and rove can't remember what lame brain is thinking. Do you have to be fucking mentally retarded to be a republican?
Because Mr. Paul isn't, and we all know he isn't a republican. So why does he wear the name plate?
Are they all lacking any convictions except for the ones they paid to have expunged from their police records?
Ron Paul is a Republican. All you've got to do is fill out a form and mail it in. He's done that already.
His IQ is probably below 100, he never had any chance.
More like room temperature.
In an igloo.
OT - This has been one hell of a news day!
Wasn't it Perry's campaign, through surrogates, the ones trying to knock out Cain this past week? The guy should of been out fixing his fences first before trying to tell everyone about his neighbor's fence problem. The guy's a dumb-ass. Remember "Dandy" Don Meredith's famous song he sang once the game was out of reach? "TURN OUT THE LIGHTS THE PARTY'S OVER..."
"As for Perry's presidential chances, this being America, where the population gets precisely the president it deserves, "
I don't think so. Put it this way, if somebody (RNC, DNC) tells you to choose between Tweedledum and Tweedledee, that is the illusion of choice, not the reality.
Oh, but you can write in somebody else? Who? How can you spread the word?
OT - This has been one hell of a news day!
Romney will be the next President. Perry and Cain are truly embarassing. In their own weird way, these debates are actually informative. Cain's response to Maria's initial question about Italy and European debt was just a hair short of Perry's eloquence. Yikes. The dumbing down of America was never more apparent.
Romney needs to go over 50% in the polls to shut the door. He's hovering at 25% - the voters are not convinced. Also, they've tested Bachman, Perry, and now Cain. Each got about a month of trial and then crashed and burned. Now Gingrich is up. I expect once Newt blows up in December/January the voters will turn to Ron Paul en masse.
Awwwkward.
Anyone watching CSI?? They found Ricks brain lying in the street inside a tire!
I was certain at that point he had been drinking a bit in the pre-game, but THENnnnnnn the 3rd Double kicked in!
Buh-bye!
RIP R.P.
All said and done, Obama thinks there are 58 states in the Union! The " Federal Reserve Board " , is the last thing his oval dome , is thinking about!
Perry berserker!!!
That's his f'n metal face!
Oh, well. 95% of Americans couldn't even name three departments. Come on home, Rick. There's enough for you to screw-up right here.
It's time to eliminate some of these chairs and get down to Newt and Mitt punching it out. And for God's sake, whomever wins needs to have Huntsman and Paul on their team!!
Perry couldn't remember his own plan. It's like forgetting where you live.
If you want to know WHO Rick Perry is, Read Matt Taibbi's piece.

In Canada, a federal election is required to be a minimum of 36 days, but there is a spending limit, that usually brings it in way under 2 months.
You guys are unbelievably excessive. Excited States indeed.

Respectfully, we don't take " Dog Sleds" , to the out house to vote. I get your point though.
nor do they take ric shaws yen, i don't get your point though
I'm 100% grade A USA BEEF! Canada has some navigation issues? Yes. Smart ass! OOPs must be that pipeline and the break below Parity? I just pulled the chart. Time to stock up on Moose Shit!

Stick a fork in that buffoon.
Bush has an inbred cousin. You're not going to get a bailout from your fellow Texan that you are over taxing.
he's an idiot. perfect for america.
It's from all the per-chlorates from the military bases in the Texas water. Yeah, the EPA needs to be rebuilt so Big Oil, or BIG GAS, can ruin all of our water in the USA, with FRACKING, frackin' idiot. I wonder if per-chlorates increase risks for Alzheimer's. Are there Alzheimer's clusters in south central Texas?
Alright Tyler. Lets trade. That eur/chf spike has me interested! Good thing I'm long
Enough political Bantering. We got it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn_8CKu9toc
Dick Perry just herped his derp.
'this moment'. LMAO. The fact this guy is running for President of our country at all, is so sad.
Why don't we give heroin to a heroin addict so he can get sober. The ONLY person who speaks the truth is Ron Paul. Anyone who doesn't see that is a waste of a life.
So fucking stupid.
Rick Perry is like a student who cheats on a test. Yes you get the answer right on the paper but when the teacher asks you the question again you have no fucking clue what you're talking about. Stop copying Ron Paul's plan mofo
And Herman Cain saying SOUND MONEY is needed? Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who's EVER mentioned that as a position. Now a former Fed Reserve banker is saying sound money? Next he's going to say gold is money.
Still preferable to the idiot in the WH. Just sayin......
Vote in Perry + bet against America = WINNING!
Romney is just another Obama - will promise anything to get his hands on that power. Just another lying asshole.
Clearly just more phony baloney.
I'll second that motion. +1 Ron Paul is not the answer though!
Care to elaborate?
It does not matter who gets voted in by the electoral college..
when they get to the office they become puppets, plain and simple..
and if they dont play ball.. then the secret service will just stand down, again.
problem solved.
The secret service will never stand down again. They would lose too much cred.
I remember some underground comic strip from the 70's. It depicted an old-style whistle-stop back of the train appearance from the presidential candidate. The candidate appears to be what circus performers used to refer to as a "geek" (you can look it up). The last panel punch line, as the handlers bundle the candidate back into the train, was "Gee, I hope no one saw him bite the head off that chicken".
In a comic strip, it was funny. Here, it was just painful.
Nah, the Fed will just sell puts to create a floor.
Am I the only one who thinks this class of idiots is special? Perry is Bush III. Cain is alive and well. My spin on those who bring poorly timed sexual harassment allegations. It's the timing that pisses me off. http://thecivillibertarian.blogspot.com/2011/11/sexual-harrassment-sharo...
On the other hand, DAMMIT, the man clearly has a medical problem! He needs help!
Ron Paul is every persons / person. He is considerate, caring, compassionate, resolute!!!
Ron Paul is a { Humanitarian}, Not a President! Wonderful person, Horrible negotiator!
Rick Perry makes Sarah Palin look like a Rhodes Scholar. How did this moron ever get elected? Oh yeah, I forgot, he's from Texass.
That's an insult to Michelle Bachmann.
Now we know where the "Nothing" from the movie The Never Ending Story came from.
These goons cherry pick what Dr. Paul has been saying for 30 years.
I tried watching it a second time and I just couldn't do it. It's too painful. If he doesn't throw in the towel tomorrow then he's a bigger moron than he looks to be in this clip.

Every parent wishes to buy new clothes for the baby and they try to spend more for baby wear. You should choose baby clothes depending on the age of your baby and the utility. Babies always grow and spending a lot of money for small babies is not advisable. You may have a few clothes that are trendy and beautiful, but convenience must be the first criteria of consideration when you choose baby clothes. At any point of time, you should not compromise quality for price when you are shopping for baby goods. The clothes you choose may not be trendy, but they must be comfortable for the baby to wear. You must start baby wear shopping earlier even before your baby attains that growth. This will help you plan ahead and shop leisurely for your baby. You can use the internet to find online stores selling baby clothes. These websites introduce you to several discounts and you can avail them during season times. Instead of buying clothes that fit perfectly for your baby, you can look for a larger size. Your baby will soon grow and the perfect sized outfit may become small within a few months. When you buy larger sizes, make sure that they are not too large. Socks are very essential for your babies and you need to keep your babies warm. You can buy single piece outfits that can be worn easily. As new born babies sleep most of the times, you can find pajamas for them. You have to choose baby clothes depending on the age of the baby at the time of wearing the dress. You can start summer shopping during winter, but remember the age of the baby when summer sets in. Buying summer clothing with the size of your baby during winter will never work out for you. When summer arises, your baby may outgrow the size, leading you to buy more. While choosing clothes for babies, choose clothes that have back or front openings. If you have to wear the dress over the head, you will have to face crying babies. Instead of buttons, go for Velcro fastenings that don't irritate your babies. You should buy baby clothes made of a comfortable, breathing fabric. Buying dresses with more embellishments is not suitable when you buy them for your babies. Always remember that your baby looks cute in whatever he or she wears. There is no need to buy cozy and delicate fabric because your baby will not be comfortable with such clothes. More than looks, you have to concentrate on buying clothes that are more suitable for you baby. However, you can buy fancy and trendy clothes for dressing up your babies when you go out. Many people are now interested in buying organic baby clothes. These clothes are made of organic materials and they don't contain any chemicals. Even though these types of clothes are generally costlier, you can find great deals when you buy such clothes from discount sales. The sensitive skin of your baby must be protected from chemicals and dyes commonly found in normal baby wear. About Author Linda Turnbull is keen about educating parents about . Buying suitable is an important responsibility for every parent in order to keep the babies comfortable. This article is free for republishing Published at
I'm so glad Nigeria has the internet now.
Do you have any purple furry jackets, like rabbit skin or something, with matching oversized gangster hat, in purple fur?
It is for a tall, quite slender fellow, with a quite dark complection, but it is a gift, so send me a size chart please.
He also has a rather portly wife who i'm sure would be delighted with a matching outfit.
Hopefully the jackets would be made from Green Rabbits, (You know, they eat hay or something, or they live in the Solar energies) and then you dye them with berries right? Please send a catalogue, ASAP.
You sound confused. The poster above clearly stated, in broken incomprehensible English:
"Buying suitable is an important responsibility for every parent in order to keep the babies comfortable."
Now if that doesn't tell you everything you need to know nobody can help you.
Dude, where's my car?
I would be long GBP about now. The lessor of two evils. look @ the tier 2 trades as well.
Please note that the MSM are not running web poll's after this debate because Ron Paul keep's Creeeming! the competition.
, Even Limbaugh is in fear of Paul and joining the Perry, Romney circle jerk, now the black fed insert is outed as a Perv,the portly
Gingrich is a tree hugging carbon taxer, who is left?
they are all Left or Wall streety, Ron Paul will be the next president.
As in all things, The REAL NUMBERS do not lie.
Where is the Teleprompter when you really need one? I bet Obama got as white as Perry.
rats, and he was so close to being the pawn of the elite!
bee be ble beeleee beeeeeeleeep thats alll folks!
best remark of the night!
What is there to elect!
While the economy crumbles, the poor increase , more jobs or lost and where the voice of the 99% is stifled by the goons owner by the 1%.
Guess they want a war where they will send you to forget your miseries and hopefully you will die saving them grief.
DERP
Perry went to Bilderberg, right? If that doesn't expose the plan, I don't know what does.
All they need is Palin as VP. Game, set, match.
err: game, match, set. Excuse the "Perry" moment in prior post.
Um, no, the expression is "game, set, and match". Ignoring deuce and tied sets, it's four winning rallies to win a game, six games to win a set, and three sets for men (2 for women) to win the match.
Capiche?
I'm catching a replay. Dennis ( Neal and Bob) is on Gretta? WTF! That moron couldn't sell taco's in ( El 'Paso} He is full of shit!
So what's the takeaway here? Perry did not put in the effort to study his lines and is therefore an unacceptable candidate for President (the only acceptable president is one who - when doing without teleprompters - can memorize the script and have no "mindblanks"?) Americans, at least as framed by the MSM, want people that can recite the correct words at the correct time, with zero margin for error. This produces Manchurian Candidates, not real leaders. And you are here.
Adios Mofo.
Romney will be hardest for 3rd party to beat. I fear a spoiler causing Obomination to win.
Romney's health care plan was atrocious but you'd never know it by his wiki profile. The msm will make him the darling in praparation for the spoiler.
A Newt/Paul admin would be interesting. Both seem to be students of history. And while 'looking forward' is the lemming's first instinct, looking back can provide some 'scary'-similar parallels.
Did anyone mention gbp/aud? I'll add on the next dip.
What's with the bobblehead routine? Is that head-jerking meant to express condescension a la Bush II, or is there some neurodegenerative thing going on?
He just needs Charlie Sheen to get his back on all the 3rd points he might forget.
Let's broaden that out a bit Tyler;
this being Earth, where the population of the whole planet gets precisely the USSA president it deserves, for even allowing this charade to happen, and the mountain-range size pile of steaming shite that always comes from it ...
There, fixed it for you.
Nope no flash crash just dead.
hey...anyone want to sell at 1233...see you tomorrow...you silly people you...
Perry and Bush display the same kind of sympton -- apparent brain damage from excessive pot smoking or coke snorting in college.
THE MAN IS DONE REMIND ME OF ANOTHER BUSH OR PALIN
Hey guys fair suck of the sav. Getting a bit tired doing the retro on you tube for those George Bush gems.
Obama is no jester. Perry for President I say and Sarah as his vice.
Just think of it, a Texas ranger and an Alaskan who understands Russians. Now there is a laugh for 2012.
Slick Rick.
All Perry had to say was the "TSA" and he would have received a standing ovation from anyone who has had to get on a plane in the past decade.
I've never understood why if the private sector can do everything better (which is usually true) - why republicans implemented and continue to support the TSA. Isn't scanning through clothing and feeling people up the personification of "big government"?
SHUT UP! THEY HATE US FOR OUR FREEDOMS!
Or something much scarier than that because you need to be scared.
FDIC loan loss sharing details are a total taxpayer ripoff to big money types and billionaires like Soros, Dell, GS execs. Look up OneWest Bank started by those guys. FDIC sold them a portfolio at up to 50% discount and the FDIC backs up to 90% of losses, not based on what OneWest paid, but the ORIGINAL amount of loans. OneWest makes more money not working out any loans and letting them foreclose and cashing in from the FDIC.

Don't get me wrong, Rick Perry needs to be laughed at, it is just that guys like him actually appeal to a massive amount of people.
There is a sick part of me that would love for him to win the nomination. Maybe he can get Sarah palin to be his VP, and they can make babies.
In all seriousness, this was one hilarious blunder. It is intersting to be able to catch the exact moment when a predential canddiate implodes like this.
The funny part was Ron Paul grinning. He almost looked relieved.
www.golddeputy.com
HAHAHAHAHA...didn't Perry's campaign just say the other day that he was not going to participate in many more debates?!?!?! That is just too precious! I guess he won't be participating in any more debates when he bows out this week. And there is that other guy on the stage who is practically invisible...Santorum. They need to give him his own lectern in another building so he can talk endlessly to it and his fan...and his god.
floyd
And in the race to the bottom, it's,it's,it's Perry by a length.
I am shocked!
So it is not enough to be a paid-for pretty boy to become a US presidential candidate?
Perry is still a viable candidate, he assures us that the Annual Easter Egg Hunt at the White House will go off without a hitch and he's studying and working hard to prepare...
OMG! Epic fail!
It was a very human moment ! I saw more candor in Perry's mental fart than I've seen in three years from the Teleprompter President ! Monedas 2011 Comedy Jihad Zero Tolerance Tour
Since Obama doesn't have to debate this time around (Did he debate in 2008 or ever ?) he should be invited to join the Republican debate so the country can see him in action ! How about a one on one with Herman Cain ? Obama's a chicken plus his handlers would nix that in a heart beat ! These Pubs would eat him alive ! Monedas 2011 Comedy Jihad Hot Kitchen Debates
even though i support the one and only ron paul it was very painful to watch rick perry flail just as he was regaining balance in his campaign. a lot of baggage but the newtster is one heckuva debater.he strikes a good balance between knowledge, charisma and aggression with the moderator(s).
gawf ... Just watched this clip in HD on ABC Australia News24 channel ... you're globalist news now Ricky!
I like Ron Paul and all the Republican candidates ! Ron Paul, the gentleman he is, would not want a man to be crucified for a refreshingly human moment in this plastic world ! Jon Corzine was never treated so harshly ! Monedas 2011 Comedy Jihad Gotcha Politics makes us all look bad ! PS Wasn't Ron Paul trying to help Perry jog his memory ? What a sweetheart of a man ! There's your story....MSM !
Well too bad, perry had the right ideas that he never seemed to follow up on: Social Security was a Ponzi scheme, the Fed needed to be ended and now removing full departments of the Executive Branch! It's a sad day that no one else but Ron Paul even comes close or wants to in even attempting such maverick talk in response to the dire predicament we find ourselves in as a country.
Not like we haven't seen it before.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhDhDRvHaGs
Plus side is everyone gets to see what a dufus Texas has to overcome. That's why we give the governor about as much relevance as a dog catcher.
Individuals - overcoming government incompetence for centuries.
This is just last night. Goes on all the time in Washington, DC, and off-camera.
Does it not disturb you that this clown could get this close to being POTUS? Still, good for a laugh though.
It'd be like someone asking him the names of his children and he would answer, "Griffin and uh, uh, sorry, I forgot."
NO agencies would be in danger under dimbulb.
Just like the other guy said, all that shit-for-brains sock puppet had to say was TSA and he would've been given standing ovation. LOL I remember how that cock smoker tried to intimidate Ron Paul at that one debate... KARMA BITCH!
Paul vs Imposter O =====> PAUL LANDSLIDE
Obongos base will all be too busy doped up to bother "votin' an sheeeit" this time. He's saving them so much money with the food stamps they have all that extra money to get high and liquored up... LOL
The lies are so jumbled in this psycho's head that he can't remember them. Classic sign of someone who is lying and has no intention of doing what he says. This guy is a clown and gives me the creeps. He's also about as religious as beezelbub himself.
I'm surprised that anyone who reads ZH would even watch the debates. I reject the notion that any candidate's performance in these debates should affect my opinions. I want a leader, not an actor.
Rick Perry is a Bilderburg, and therefore already struck from my list of candidates. IMO, Ron Paul is the only serious candidate because he is the only one concerned about the root problems of this country.
Electing the best talkers is what got us into this mess. Shut off the TV.
Well after having shut off democracy in favour of kleptocracy that is the least that people can do to not add insult to injury...to their future, as citizens of moronic dystopia.
The cliche that people get the leaders they deserve is about as simplistic and dumb as it gets. Almost as dumb as Perry.
Nowhere in the whole world can you find presidential candidates of the calibre that the US nation provides to the media of the world : Palin, Bachman, Perry...Man this is the greatest dumb as dumb comes show on earth. It beats for walking vision of stupidity and hubris, Berlusconi and DSK; who were intelligent but over active dikks, which led to their downfall. Eurozone has the political dikks, USA has the political morons. We are both so blessed.
Where are the banksters and there promises when you need them...
Bank of America to Rick Perry: 'We Will Help You Out'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fRhb0awjAg
This just gets to the point that the majority of people who are trying to get into government, are not driven by higher ideals. If this was the case, his words should have flown from him without pause.
Instead, we have career politicians who read (as the Teleprompter does) speeches written by pollsters, to promote their careers.
A painful performance from a sad lot.
Are you kidding, this is the perfect set up for a Perry victory. The third agency to be eliminated will remain a mystery only to be revealed after the inauguration. The suspense will surpass the next elimination round of American Idol (who could avoid the opportunity to experience that kind of excitement?) So, Perry gets voted in by a hoard of voters weaned on reality T.V. competition, and the best part is, it doesn’t really matter to these voters which agency got picked once the event is over. They’ll probably just choose it by secret lottery.
Hard to watch even though I would never vote for the guy. Might as well have pulled his pants down and dropped a log on stage. Could have got some applause for that.
