I can't believe Rick Perry was on CNBC this morning

It is irking that Andrew Sorkin could legitimize this guy who tried to help Trump overturn the election. Who had very shady business dealings in Ukraine. Who couldn't even recall the names of the cabinet department he wanted to get rid of.

Sorry in advance if this is the wrong place to post

Sleepwalking through life. Joe Kernen couldn't get an interview with John Birch himself?

he's a dunce with little to nothing to offer the world but his name on a promo.

It sucks, but being a"name" is vastly more important than expertise, charm, wit, or anything else these days.

Reality TV has elevated the dullards and lowered everybody else.
