Rick Perry capped a day of brain-freeze damage control last night by offering up the "Top 10 Rick Perry Excuses" on David Letterman's show. Highlights below, or check out the full video in the gallery.

"Actually, there were three reasons I messed up last night. One was the nerves, and two was the headache, and three ... um ... um ... oops."
"I don't know what you're talking about. I think things went well."

"Hey, listen, you try concentrating with Mitt Romney smiling at you—that is one handsome dude."
"Uh ... El Nino?"
"I just learned Justin Bieber is my father."

If you're not tired of the original "oops" clip by now, here it is. (More Rick Perry stories.)
