What is it with all these kinky politicians?
The latest kinky politician hails from Texas:
Texas humorist and mystery writer Richard ‘Kinky’ Friedman is announcing this week that he is a Democratic candidate for governor in next year’s elections, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Friedman, 64, is making his announcement in media interviews and campaign stops in what his campaign calls’ public spaces’ around the state.
Friedman finished fourth in the 2006 election for governor, in which he ran as an independent, running behind Democrat Chris Bell, fellow independent Carole Strayhorn, and Republican incumbent and winner Rick Perry.
Ha ha! Get it? The guy’s NAME is “Kinky.” I’ll tell ya, I’ve got a million of them.
Another funny thing: The Democratic Party is so week in Texas, Kinky is the front runner for the nomination.
