I like it. It is more restrained than if I produced it, but I like it.

There is not nearly enough crust or dripping fluids on that ass to believably portray Rick Perry.

I was feeling crummy about the religious bass-ackwardness that Rick Perry and others have been displaying lately. Then I went to YouTube and searched on “Rick Perry strong parody”.
I remember during the last presidential campaign when Tina Fey, like Superman becoming Clark Kent, impersonated Sarah Palin and pretty much ended her run.
It doesn’t take a word-class comic to impersonate Rock Perry, and thus over a hundred amateurs have made parodies of his ad. He’s a laughingstock.
Okay, who’s left? Mittens and the Grinch?

Rick Perry jumped the shark with that ad, and this is a great riposte.

Oh I think Rick Perry jumped the shark long before that! ;-)

Chris – I don’t get it. You just reposted the original ad. Was there supposed to be a different thing up here?

Katherine – If you look closely, I think the hair is parted just a little bit differently. I’m pretty sure it is the same speech on his part though…

Personally, I’m rather fond of Cracked.com’s version. Note: Their player is a bit buggy–my advice is to pause it the moment it starts playing, then let the full thing buffer before hitting play again.

Oh, and apologies for the double-post, but apparently Perry is wearing the same jacket that Heath Ledger wore in Brokeback Mountain.
