Too lazy to check. Has this gotten any serious play in the MSM?
It's gotten mentioned just because the freakishly unlikely coincidence that Cruz made literally the exact same mistake stating the exact same thing as Perry four years ago. For some reason, listing five government departments to shut down is far more difficult than it would seem.
As an actual issue, it has received no play, because, unlike Perry, Cruz is a good debater, covered it up well, and most people didn't notice until it was pointed out. Perry sort of just got stuck out there like a deer in headlights to the point it was painful to watch him. Pity is about the last emotion a presidential candidate wants people feeling for him.
