Gingrich mocks Perry over ‘oops’ moment at Detroit campaign stop

{mosads} Earlier in the question-and-answer session, a woman forgot the third part of a three-part question. Although Gingrich did not prompt the response, the room burst into laughter.

Other Republican candidates have been somewhat sympathetic so far, with Michele Bachmann saying she “felt bad” for what Perry had gone through.

‘It was a tough moment,” she told CNBC. “I think all of us recognize that is something [none of us] would want to go through … We all felt very bad for him.”

Mitt Romney tried to help Perry during the stumble, suggesting the Environmental Protection Agency as the third agency.

But Perry has done his best to parlay the flub into a positive for his campaign. An email to supporters Thursday morning asked which federal agency they would most like to forget, and the governor will film a self-deprecating Top 10 list for the “Late Show with David Letterman” later in the day.
