DescriptionAUSTIN -- A speech delivered by Rick Perry in New Hampshire has many wondering at the Texas Governor's sudden sense of humor after edited clips went viral over the weekend.

The campaign says Perry was just "passionate about the issues" when he spoke Friday at a banquet sponsored by conservative advocacy group Cornerstone. Whatever the explanation, the video shows a side of Rick Perry that is taking many by surprise.

"Everybody's got their little slogan, right?" Perry joked as he referred to his recently announced "Cut, Balance and Grow" tax plan. "Even Tim Geithner can get his taxes in on time with this, I'm telling you!"

While appealing for donations, Perry laughingly invited his audience to contribute gold as well as cash to the campaign.

"If they print any more money over there in Washington, the gold's gonna be good," he said.
