Rick Perry Can't Shut Up About Energy
Here's a handy interactive infographic that lets you see which Republican candidates talked about which topics, using which words during the debates. Pretty neat.
Enjoy a couple of screen grabs below. Apparently Rick Perry likes to talk about energy. #irony:
Hey look, they also talk about reason! (Sort of.):

That’s some exquisite use of the Alt Text right there, KMW. Bravo.
It’s especially ironic if you read the papers, because Rick Perry couldn’t remember that he wanted to cut the Department of Energy at the most recent debate. Go ahead, look it up. I’ll wait.
Exactly! That’s the point I made yesterday about him being a phony. If he can’t remember the name of the department, which just happens to named after his favorite subject, how much conviction does he really have?

12 comments? Looks like people *can* shut up about Rick Perry.
I do enjoy the manner in which you have presented this specific challenge and it does provide me personally a lot of fodder for thought.

Still, thank you for this exceptional piece and whilst I do not really agree with this in totality, I respect the viewpoint
