Rick Perry dropped by the Tonight Show last night to chat about the campaign, and faced quite a few questions about his various gaffes. After noting that Perry had provided him with "a lot of material," Leno asked about that elusive third agency, as well as why Perry had gotten confused about both the voting age and the date of the election. Quipped Perry, "Every now and then I call my dogs by the wrong name. I get that wrong, too." The evening didn't pass without mention of Herman Cain and his woes. "Luckily, you're in the clear," noted Leno, "thanks to Herman Cain. Cause yours are gaffes, those are 'oh my Gods.'" Click to Daily Intel for more. (More Rick Perry stories.)
