CLEAR LAKE, Iowa — Rick Perry’s cowboy boots, which make an appearance on the campaign trail every now and then, have kicked their way into the coffee world. One coffee shop has created a coffee blend named after those famous Texas boots bearing the words “Freedom” and “Liberty.”

The Cabin Coffee Company here in Clear Lake developed the “Freedom & Liberty Blend,” made of 100 percent Arabica Beans and described as being “Rich & smooth, medium bodied, sparkling acidity, with Smokey undertones.”

I don’t have a photo of the boots—but I will tell you that he is often called “Pointy Boots” when folks around here are not happy with him...........

That’s a more masculine looking logo, more like the shades that were used in Herman Cain’s late campaign. The campaign video I saw a few weeks ago had it looking like an Easter egg with a gay looking .org website tag.

But to name a product like this for boots? Especially one that’s supposed to taste good? That’s too reminiscent of, er, boot licking. Although the image of walking all over, er, Arabica might not be all that bad.

I remember being the butt of a gag, when some guys gave me “coon ass” coffee.

That is Louisiana STRONG chickery flavored coffee.

It’s the same logo that he has been using. I think it just looks darker in that photo.

I’m not much of a coffee drinker, is a boot taste considered better or worse than old tennis shoes? :)

"I remember being the butt of a gag, when some guys gave me “coon ass” coffee."

If you can't stand your spoon straight up in the middle of the mug, it's "watered down." :-)

This is the best pic I could find.

FR guidelines don't allow us to post the actual pic.
