From the Des Moines Register- I imagine that the writers had a hard time keeping a straight face while writing this.

Mackenzie Goodyk and her parents stopped Perry in front of the next food booth over, a cheese curds stand. Perry shook the girl's hand and continued to grip it as he chatted with her family.

"I can't feel my fingers," said Mackenzie, age 10.

"Oh, my gosh, I had a hold of you, didn't I?" said Perry, 

hahah!  

When the Register's moderator thanked him as he came off the stage, Perry said: "You're welcome. I'm awesome!"

Because Rick Perry's favorite topic is himself  

Perry circulated among the reporters, sharing his bacon. "Don't be a fool. Take some," he said.

Gee. Isn't this the type of thing he's just been indicted for? THUG FOR PRESIDENT! (Texans already know he's a dim-witted bully with a propensity to get even if he doesn't get his way) 

And then he searched for some napkins. "Don't lick your fingers in public," he said to no one in particular.

Because when you have a chicken pot pie for a brain, as Perry once said, you have to talk to yourself out loud to tell yourself what to do.
