Rick Perry is scared that he’s going to be nothing more than an asterisk in the race for the Rethuglican-Confederate-Teabagger party nomination for President. So much so that he’s now pandering to the extreme right wing for votes in Iowa. He is running the following gay-baiting ad on TV out there:

And the ad has now become the subject of much derision.

Not to be outdone, a rabbi in Michigan has done his own version of the ad:

It’s typical right-wing bullshit to use some sort of wedge issue to win elections. W did it in Ohio when he schemed with F*ckus on the Family to put an anti-gay marriage amendment on the election ballot. It brought out enough homophobes to the voting booth to win Ohio.
I do note that Perry is wearing the exact same jacket the Heath Ledger wore in Brokeback Mountain. Which brings me to this Perry campaign poster.
Hmmmm. Maybe he’s got a skeleton (or Jake Gyllenhaal) in his closet.
