Still shaking my head at Perry. That was the greatest flame-out I’ve ever witnessed in a debate. Ever. And that’s including Ford saying there was “no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe.” Whew.
I don't know what the political impact actually was, but Ford's statement was explained by Rumsfeld in his book. That they are not conceding Soviet domination.
