Go Kinky!
Posted on | February 18, 2006 | 2 Comments
There has to be something good about reality TV if it results in a show that documents author and musician Kinky Friedman‘s campaign to become the next Texas governer. In the course of the first couple shows he argues with Dwight Yoakum, calls for the unconditional surrender of the current governer, gets his hair cut by his Palestinian hairdresser and campaign advisor Farouk, and promises to make Willie Nelson the next head of the Texas Rangers. He says things like:
“Governer wants a bagel!”
“When I’m governer I’m only going to leave the mansion to go to Vegas”
“First rule, no meetings. Put it on an index card and give it to me like they do with George W.”
“Save yourself for Kinky.”
I’ve always been amused by Kinky. I’ve read a few mystery novels by him which feature a detective named Kinky. I also think that anyone who writes songs like “They Ain’t Making Jews like Jesus Anymore” should be a governer.

This is probably the only time I’ll ever be jealous of Texas. He needs to launch a Presidential campaign, just so that I can vote for him.
Why not, indeed?
