When the Titanic crashed into the iceberg of his own brain

Rotterman goes on Letterman. It's called reinforcing a pattern.

Of course, Mr Rot never reacted to Perry's brain freeze. So let me keep the subject alive, by quoting from Taranto's column:

We suppose this is unsporting, but we can't resist. On Sept. 7, after Gov. Rick Perry entered the presidential race, The New Republic published a contrarian piece by Erica Grieder titled "The Trash Talker: Why Rick Perry Will Thrive in Presidential Debates":

A not insignificant portion of the national political establishment--consisting of panicky Democrats and Republicans alike--is hoping that Rick Perry's commanding lead in recent Republican primary polls will wither under the lights of this month's multiple presidential debates, beginning with tonight's event at the Ronald Reagan Library in California. The governor of Texas may be a formidable retail politician, they reason, but as soon as he's facing sustained, aggressive questioning, and is forced to speak off the cuff about policy, he'll be exposed for what he truly is: A good ol' boy who doesn't have the brains or the manners to earn the public's trust.
This is, to put it mildly, wishful thinking.
Grieder acknowledges that "Perry has occasionally been a lazy debater and he is sometimes lackadaisical about keeping informed," but she insists "he has cultivated a number of rhetorical strengths." Maybe he'll demonstrate them in the next 47 debates.

Meanwhile, in the wake of Wednesday's debate disaster, the Washington Post's Kathleen Parker piles on:

Most Americans would agree that the most memorable moment from Wednesday night's GOP debate was when Rick um, um, um, whateverhisnameis couldn't remember the third leg of his own policy for streamlining the federal government. . . .
The 53-second eternity has been replayed sufficiently, so we needn't belabor the cringe-inducing amnesia of the 47th Texas governor. It was so bad that even disciples of schadenfreude ducked under their blankies and prayed for deliverance.

Tecs never reacted to the USA's democracy freeze. Pulls for Cain or Romney or some other none-of-the above.
