This interview is not from April. It's from October. He is still attempting to thread the needle by saying that he doesn't know if what the President showed us was a real birth certificate, though he says it "doesn't matter" if it is real or not to begin with.
One has to ask whether this is the real Rick Perry or a Rick Perry who has resolved to act as batshit crazy as he can to outflank Herman Cain and go to a place Romney can't tread, the fever swamps of the right wing. Perry has introduced his plans for a flat tax in the past few days and has introduced a useless jobs plan supplied to him by a petroleum institute, then stopped in Iowa to hammer Romney and Cain on their amorphous stands on abortion. Rick Perry is not dead and he has a lot of money to run ads. With Herman Cain's collapse imminent and unavoidable perhaps he thinks he can bring the anti-Romney vote back home.
