KINKY RUNS FOR GOVERNOR!!! Texas governor's race gets Kinky Reuters News Service MEDINA - Unleash your inner Texan and vote Kinky. Kinky Friedman, best-selling author, country music singer, humorist, friend of stray dogs and salsa merchant, is running for governor of Texas in 2006 as an independent. Friedman is the man behind the song "Get Your Biscuits in the Oven and Your Buns in the Bed" and author of the book "Kill Two Birds and Get Stoned." For all of those wondering why the front man for the country music group 'The Texas Jewboys' wants to run the Lone Star State, Kinky will put down his cigar and say from under his 10-gallon hat: "Why the hell not?" .... SMOKING CIGARS AND KISSING MOTHERS Kinky, who was born in Chicago and moved to Texas as a child, has a salt-and-pepper mustache, under which sits an ever-present cigar. He has curly hair that is rarely seen because he almost always wears a cowboy hat. He dresses like a cowboy, but he accents his outfits with Hawaiian shirts or a Star of David medallion. The campaign will be unconventional, irreverent and star-studded. "I just want to be as honest and as open as I can be. I will not kiss babies. I'll kiss their mothers," he said. .... And the entertainers will be on the road with Kinky. Kinky said country music greats Willie Nelson and Dwight Yoakam have pledged their support along with actors Robert Duval, Billy Bob Thorton and Johnny Depp. Magicians Penn and Teller have promised to make any opponent disappear. When it comes to bipartisan support, Kinky is one of the few people around who can list presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush as friends. Even though he may have political connections, Kinky promises that he will not be politically correct. He may take a centrist position that seems to be off the map. After all, this is the man who wrote the song "They Ain't Making Jews Like Jesus Anymore." "Traditionally Texans have been known for having a lot of wide-open spaces between our ears. But because of the expanse of geography, we have a real independent spirit, which creates some original thought once in a while," he said. .... BRING YOUR OWN WEAPONS "There are no skeletons in my closet. They are all bleaching on a beach somewhere," he said. You want to know Kinky's stand on gun control? "I do not carry a gun myself, so if someone is going to shoot me, they better remember to bring their own weapon." On abortion? "I am not pro-life, I am not pro-choice, I am pro football." On the serious side, Kinky would like to establish a Texas Peace Corps where people could volunteer and help the state. He was a member of the Peace Corps in Borneo, where he taught agriculture to people who had been successfully farming for 2,000 years. He would like to see nondenominational prayer in school and make Texas a state that does not allow animal shelters or pounds to kill abandoned or stray pets. He has no plans to get a make-over for the campaign. He will smoke his cigars and wear his cowboy hat low over his curly hair. "I got a straight perm a few months ago. It was so bad that it made me look like Hitler as a used car salesman," he said. this makes me so happy. it really, really does. i just wish my dad was here to see this. he would get such a kick out of his pal kinky running. note to kinky: let's make a movie about this, ya old coot! i'm dead serious. UPDATE: kinky in nyc next tuesday! he'll be at the chelsea barnes and noble. i'll be there. will you? kinky friedman: "rock and roll across the USA" "..Jesus said to Pilate, “Remember the Golden Rule: Love thy neighbor, don't you step on my blue suede shoes.” Pilate, he said to Jesus, “Hey, you know this ain't no Sunday school” Baby, everybody knows that the wheel’s gotta roll, Rock and roll across the USA......" posted by downtown | 1:34 PM |
