Ever since Wednesday’s “oops moment” from Texas Gov. Rick Perry at the Republican debate – where he couldn’t remember a third of his shortlist of federal agencies he would cut if he won the presidency – he’s been doing a little self-deprecating damage control. He seemed in good humor the next morning, appearing on NBC’s “Today Show” to laugh about it while insisting that he has no intentions of dropping out of the race. And Thursday night was no exception, as the candidate appeared on “Late Night with David Letterman” to poke more fun at himself by reading the “Top 10 List of Rick Perry Excuses,” which included notable jabs like “Hey listen. You try concentrating with Mitt Romney smiling at you. That is one handsome dude,” and “I just learned Justin Bieber is my father.”
