Rick Perry jabs GOP brethren at Gridiron

Some have said that my debating style is very similar to that other Texas Cicero, George W. Bush. Only difference between George and me is that I say, ‘Oops.’… I say stuff like Solyndra’s a country or that the voting age is 21. But Mitt [Romney] would say things like his wife drives a couple of Cadillacs, or his pals own NASCAR teams. You know, my problem was saying stuff that wasn’t right. Mitt’s problem is saying stuff that IS.”
