i mean, just about the only guy who didn't win iowa was rick perry. remember poor rick perry? he was almost the favorite at the start of the process. he got into the race late to tons of acclaim, tons of excitement, and to he tried very hard. it wasn't like he was fred thompson or rudy giuliani. rick perry really tried. he just couldn't win anything. so it sort of got lost in the shuffle, this campaign season, once mr. perry lost so badly, but there was one remarkable moment from rick perry in the campaign that has suddenly become newly relevant in where the campaign's at now. here's how it happened. it was exactly one week before the iowa caucuses. rick perry who had been a staunch antiabortion politician exactly a week before the caucuses, he told a conservative iowa minister in front of his parishioners that he had had a change of heart on the issue of abortion. here's how we reported it at the time. >> another sign, i think, of rick perry banking hard for the evangelical social conservative vote, his announcement at a campaign event in iowa last night sort of striking anno

you know what i think we're going to bring a lot of reading with america ok rick i want to go to you i mean would you pan was mentioned here and again let's take this term of the west then we could say defining it is part of the americas geo political strategy in the world and the american imbroglio because again japan may not be exercising the same kind of power but then again it doesn't have a foreign policy that it used to have a name going back to before nine hundred forty one so i mean if it doesn't have a military power then it's falling under the umbrella of the united states the west . well and it seems to also have lost its economic powers and i mean they've been fairly stagnant since the eighty's and so when this first came up about. when it when they first came out when this first came up about your pan i was thinking about china and here's the ambiguity of the west i have many colleagues in china who take up the west as a goal that they want to achieve and if you slap the label western on this become something that they think is valuable that it gets them out of the tradi

want to write i want to go to the point still holds i mean hillary mussolini were not liberals ok rick i want to go to you i mean we don't hear today we use the term west all the time and you know and i use it all the time i'll be honest with you but we don't hear the word we don't say the east we don't people don't use that is it's polar opposite. well in philosophy we talk often about eastern philosophy and i'm reminded of the young in a satirical magazine we have here in the united states that had a headline that went something like chinese student discovers western philosophy and his parents were horrified that he was into these radical western ideas. but i want to pick up on something that homie said earlier that i think there is a certain experience of the west from the outside that we who are so-called westerners can't ignore that is when for example the west is. protecting the airspace over libya there is an experience on the ground that there is this entity called the west that is not internally defined but externally defined and so along with the economic and the political in

so now we're talking about rick's cabaret.pparently this night club had a policy of sorts of a discount to how much you would drink. so, richard, at issue here is whether the night club should be held culpable. what is this family up against? >> houston, we have a problem with rick's cabaret. they have big trouble here, fred. the promotions that these clubs do, and i only know this because i represented some of these clubs, so let's get that straight. but what happens is the entertainers, the, quote, entertainers that come in, they have to sell a certain amount of drinks and this way they get promotions and benefits for themselves because they have to pay a fee to work there. so they pump the booze into the patrons. this guy, who was in there drinking that night, had about 15 drinks. he ran out of money. >> right. >> they threw him out. they didn't get him a cab. they didn't drive him home. they just threw him out of the club. he gets in his car. he got caught, cracked up, killed someone. three times over the limit. he's servi

he said, outstanding work in evaluating rick perry's tax plan.calling it an objective third-party analysis because of course it was criticizing his opponent, rick perry's tax plan. today that very group that outstanding group that objecttive independent group the tax policy center came out with another report about another tax plan, and how did mitt romney respond? well, by questioning it's findings and calling it a bias liberal study. now, why would he do that? that objective outstanding tax policy center. maybe because the tax policy center most's recent study was about mitt romney's tax plan and found that like rick perry's plan, mitt romney's plan would also give the richest americans a tax break and hike taxes on everyone else. let's take a closer look. check this out. according to mitt romney's plan, 95% of americans 95% of them would lose $2,000--they would pay $2,000 more in taxes. that's everybody who is making under $200,000 a year. 95% of americans would lose that. but all of that money down here would go to pay for the tax breaks of t
