The Secretary of Energy, Rick Perry, has never been coy about making ridiculously stupid comments. Here are just a few of his greatest hits:
- "From my own personal life, abstinence works."
- "It's (Evolution) a theory that's out there. It's got some gaps in it."
- "Juarez (Mexico) is reported to be the most dangerous city in America."
- "Those of you that will be 21 by November the 12th, I ask for your support and your vote."
- I will tell you: It's three agencies of government, when I get there, that are gone: Commerce, Education and the- what's the third one there? Let's see.... OK. So Commerce, Education and the- I can't. The third one, I can't. Sorry. Oops."
Speaking at an Axios/NBC News event, Perry had himself another "oops" moment, when he said this:
"[Electricity is important] from the standpoint of sexual assault. When the lights are on, when you have light that shines the righteousness, if you will, those types of acts. [From the standpoint] of how you really affect people's lives, fossil fuels ... play a role in that. I happen to think it's going to play a positive role."
That's right, ladies and gentlemen; Rick Perry thinks the solution to decreasing cases of sexual assault is fossil fuels. With that kind of logic, expect him to utter the following lines at some point (if he hasn't already):
- "Suicide is a big problem. I don't like suicide, not one bit. It's, uh, bad. So, I want to do something about it and think I've found the answer. Litter. If people start throwing trash away outside, they'll be less likely to throw their lives away inside, outside, or whatever."
- "If we want to stop rape in this country, I've got three words for you: Star Wars. If we learn about the force, we won't be forcing ourselves on others. That's just common sense, people."
- "I have an interesting idea on how to stop abuse. Buses. If we destroy all of the buses, abuse just won't happen, because you can't spell 'abuse' without 'bus.'"
