I can just imagine all of these candidates sitting in their dressing room pre-debate trying to think of another country in the Middle East inhabited by brown Muslims that they can bomb. Perry pacing through his room, open collar, wild hair, furiously trying to open his tic-tacs container while dropping it and its contents all over the floor. "Calm the hell down!" his campaign manager said, "we can do this, we CAN think of another country in the Middle East to bomb. Just one. We've made the mistaking of listing 3 things before and we both know how it ended". Perry, trying to get himself together, was reminded of another stressful event in his recent memory, "Boy, this reminds me of that one Thanksgiving where I..". His campaign manager jumped out of his chair, "say that again?". "Thanksgiving?" Perry asked, "what about it?". "TURKEY YOU IDIOT. WE CAN BOMB TURKEY!" Perry and his campaign manager danced excitedly thing through the room. Feeling like they had already won the debate.
What followed after the debate was probably Newt Gingrich doubting his credentials as an intellectual and historian, while Santorum started writing his concession speech because he was incapable of thinking of such a genius idea. Romney as always, was aloof of what even happened and was trying to find another way to make himself look like a filthy rich ass trying to connect with your average guy (and failing miserably of course).
Yep, pretty sure that's how it happened.
