The reason why everybody says Rick Perry is a haughty gay country club waiter in Dallas is because that is exactly how he acts. But there was another Rick Perry, in the past: A Rick Perry who was not afraid to express his love of sausage, and was also not afraid to dress up in a comical "cowboy costume" at the end of the same commercial, and then just lean back and play with his hands in a weird way. Rick Perry!

This is some shitty campaign commercial from whenever, whenever Dallas was the main show on television, we guess:

UPDATE: And here's another one, this time with Rick dressed up in complete Halloween cowboy costume. Thanks to Wonkette operative "Andrew K." for the tip!
