On Wednesday morning, when I first saw Rick Perry’s new anti-gay ad, I posted here on Instant Tea that it looked a lot like a scene from Brokeback Mountain. At the time, though, it’s doubtful I could have put my finger on what triggered this reaction. Well, now we all know: It’s the jacket, stupid!!! The above image, which is of unknown origin, showing Perry in the ad below Heath Ledger in the movie has gone completely viral. It’s also given birth to a meme, as you can see below and on Frogman’s Tumblr. Also, in case you want to put one of those jackets on your War on Christmas list, Senior Editor Tammye Nash informs me that it’s likely a Carhartt (and she would know).
I wonder if he has a stylist with a sense of humor…. I love the pic with Richard Simmons.
That is hilarious. Made me laugh about this for the first time today. Perry is just despicable.
Perry is an idiot.

I always choose to see the silver lining. If he is elected president, then drag queens throughout Texas will not have to ration their Aqua-Net any more.
he’s a douche…and yes, it’s a carhart…thats the easiet thing to see in the pic…the BIG label on the front of the jacket.
The jacket is a Carhartt C61 Sandstone Ridge Coat. Its one of their most expensive models.
Well, he is actually co-starring in a re-make of Brokeback: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzEW4zDpRiU
