I think it's good when a candidate shows he can laugh at himself, especially after an embarrassing incident.
We can all relate to being less than perfect.
That said, I don't know if it was a good idea for Perry to go on Letterman and do the Top Ten list, "Rick Perry Excuses."
If Perry had dropped out of the race, I would see no downside to going on the show and joking about his poor debate performance.
At this point, however, it seems unpresidential and kind of desperate.
Will an appearance on Letterman turn around his campaign?
I don't see how it would.
It might help if Perry's goal is to be a contestant on Dancing with the Stars.
