Rick Perry TV ad featuring wife Anita lampooned; Ann Romney targets Gingrich (VIDEO)

A Rick Perry TV ad has people talking — and some sniggering — again.

This time, it's not about whether of not he's anti-gay, rather whether he's a cornball who should stay away from TV advertising.

The latest ad features Perry’s wife Anita telling the “old-fashioned, American” story of their marriage.

“I married my high-school sweetheart,” Anita Perry says. “We grew up in small towns, with Christian values, and we know Washington, D.C., could use some of that.”

She goes on to describe her husband’s time in the Air Force, but then, according to the Huffington Post:

Toward the end of the ad, Perry jumps into the frame — seemingly out of nowhere — to let viewers know that he "really approves this message." Some media outlets poked fun at his sneak attack-esque entrance.

An ad featuring Mitt Romney's wife, Ann, was released on the same day, in which she seen as directly targeting Newt Gingrich, saying: “If you really want to know how a person will operate, look at how they live their life."

According to USA Today, both wives are credited with boosting their husbands' campaigns in the race for Republican endorsement. The paper also notes that "the long Romney and Perry marriages stand in contrast to that of Newt Gingrich, who has been married three times."
