Tomorrow, Kinky Friedman will officially announce his independent candidacy for Governor of the great state of Texas. He has my vote...he'd better since he is a friend! www.kinkyfriedman.com
This is from that website...i'm LOVING that first sentence! "The professionals gave us the Titanic, amateurs gave us the Ark. Career politicians are ribbon cutters. They see the governor's office as a job; I see it as an opportunity to make that Lone Star shine again.” “I'm an Independent, which is the party of George Washington, Teddy Roosevelt, Sam Houston, and Davy Crockett.” As Governor, Kinky, or “the Kinkster”, would: • Legalize casino gambling to fund education • Abolish political correctness “We didn't get to be the Lone Star state by being politically correct” • Take a good look at death row. “We need to make sure that we're not putting innocent people to death, which I believe we are” • Outlaw the de-clawing of cats • Bring young people into his administration. “Young people are less corrupt. They are the future of Texas ; it's theirs to win or lose.” I'm a Jew, I'll hire good people. “If elected, I would ask Willie Nelson to be the head of the Texas Rangers and Laura Bush to take charge of education in the state. I'd ask my Palestinian hairdresser, Farouk Shami, to be Texas ' ambassador to Israel . We've worked together to create Farouk & Friedman olive oil. The oil comes from the Holy land and all of the profits go to benefit Israeli and Palestinian children.” One thing is for sure: this is not going to be politics as usual and Kinky's campaign, or anti-campaign, is not expecting to have a massive war chest from which to buy the Governor's office. Rather, “the coin of the spirit” will sweep Kinky into the Governor's office
i was thinking he's a good candidate until: • Outlaw the de-clawing of cats get scratched by one of those suckers, and tell me you dont want to have their claws removed.
Dang, RMT, I was hoping you were telling us Perry had choked to death on a bean or something. No such luck. Kinky would be an improvement over the current corrupt idiot. So would my dog, not to take anything away from the Kinkster, who I've met, but who wouldn't know me from Adam. Keep D&D Civil!!
I wish I still lived in Texas so I could vote for Kinky. He's great. I like his platform too. I didn't know that Texas had their own ambassador to Israel though.
Kinky Friedman will be live on Imus in the Morning on MSNBC at 8:29 AM announcing his gubernatorial candidacy from The Alamo.
Kinky wants to bring back non-denominational prayer to public schools. He calls it is anti-wussification campaign: you ought to be able to smoke a cigar or say "Merry Christmas" without apologizing. His rabbi friend from Galveston said a blessing wearing a longhorn bolo tie. Billy Joe Shaver gave the invocation. He will be named poet laureate of Texas. "A fool and his money are soon elected governor..." Running a campaign on the coin of the spirit. Rick Perry is more interested in ironing his shirts than ironing out the problems in Texas. "Gypsies on a pirate ship setting sail for the governor's mansion."
Keep all Bushes out of the governors mansion and he's got my vote. (The Texas Governor is weaker than other state gov's anyway so what's the harm. Hell he couldn't f*** it up worse than Curious George)
Mulder, in comparison to Perry, Bush, as Governor, was a freakin' genius. He worked in a very bipartisan fashion, because the Republicans didn't control both chambers of the Legislature. He was pragmatic. That's why his Presidency, even to me, has been such a shock. His radical right, take no prisoners, and **** you... you're from the other party style as President is almost the complete opposite of his style as Governor. Bush is bizarre. Perry is dishonest, corrupt, and has sold himself to whoever was interested. He could care less about the people of this state, and he has proved that time and again. Bush has been acting, since being elected President, like he's been possessed by some arcane, demonic power. Perhaps, in a way, he has. Keep D&D Civil!!
I agree, but once Shrub retires from the Presidency, his whole fam damily should be retired with him, including "libary" Laura.
The person we need to watch out for is Carol Keeton Rylander Strayhorn. I think I would rather have governor good hair than "One Tough Gramma" running the show. I will vote Kinky.
