Except he already did know that. The whole claim he somehow didn't came from a random New York Times writer who simply claimed he didn't know on no apparent basis other than the journalist's magical mind-reading abilities and then people started reporting that uncritically. The only source offered was something Michael McKenna said, which (1) didn't actually support the claim, and (2) is something McKenna said was taken out of context anyway.
Sure, Perry changed his mind on getting rid of it, and perhaps there's room for criticism in that about-face, but it wasn't because he somehow wasn't aware of what it did.
You seem to be confusing anarchism with libertarianism. Granted, some anarchists do identify as ilbertarians, but in my experience outright anarchists are a small minority among libertarians.
Also, while there might be some who are unaware that the Department of Energy handles nuclear material in addition to more general energy stuff, most people I've seen actually advocate the abolition of the Department of Energy are aware of it handling nuclear-related matters, they just want that part of it put under a different part of the government's purview (unless we're talking about anarchists, who I assume would want the government to get rid of the nuclear weapons on its way out, but I'll admit I haven't really looked much at the anarchists think, mostly because I don't really care what anarchists think).

Originally posted by JimL View PostA mind blank indeed. The guy was running for president, if he had a mind blank it's only because he had no clue in the first place.
If Perry, as a candidate for presidedent, knew what the Dept. of Energy did and still wanted to get rid of it, then he is a bigger idiot than if he didn't know. In either case, he's a bit of an irresponsible idiot who is now in charge of that very important position which was last held by a nuclear physicist.

Originally posted by Terraceth View PostBlanking on a word or phrase, even ones you've used plenty of times, happens to pretty much everyone, though most are fortunate enough to not have it occur while in a television debate watched by millions. It was embarrassing, sure, but it was nothing more than an "okay, that was kind of funny, let's move on" gaffe, and to make anything more of it is trying to disingenuously score points. Incidentally, what often goes unreported is the fact he did remember it soon afterwards in the debate and mentioned it.
I don't particularly care about defending Rick Perry's policies and in fact don't really care for him in general. But to make light several years later of a momentary gaffe of the sort that happens to pretty much everyone is silly, and making claims about him not knowing what the Department of Energy does based on the magical mind-reading abilities of a reporter (and flies in the face of other evidence, such as past statements he made about the Department of Energy and its nuclear management), is just spreading false information.
