Kinky Friedman is my choice for governor in Texas in 2006. Yeah, he’s a bit populist/soft-socialist, but so what? Is he any worse than the demopublicans? And he’s funny, and Jewish. His logo is, “Why the hell not?”
4:51 pm on October 5, 2005Kinky Friedman is an author, a musician, a humorist, an animal activist and a personality. He’s a former columnist for Texas Monthly, claiming the coveted last-page position. He’s the band leader of the Texas Jewboys, spouting out more than 20 years of melodies like “Ride ’em Jewboy” and “They Ain’t Making Jews Like Jesus Anymore.” He’s an author of numerous books and novels, including his most recent “Texas Hold ’Em.” He donated the land for the no-kill Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch, giving a home to hundreds of dogs, cats, pigs and horses and encouraging adoption. He’s great friends with Willie Nelson and decent friends with President George W. Bush. And he very well may be our next governor.
