Kinky for Governor: Why the Hell Not?

The title of this post is one of Kinky Friedman's campaign slogans, the other one is "How Hard Could It Be?", appropriate in light of the fact that Kinky is running for the spot once occupied by George W. Bush: Governor of Texas.

Here's Kinky with the First Lady, whom he's pals with. (below... not the one above!)

And here's one that's just plain strange. Kinky, Will Smith, and President Clinton.

I've enjoyed Kinky (whose band is called "The Texas Jewboys") for some time now, from his seminal hit, "Asshole from El Paso", through other timeless tunes such as "Old Man Lucas". He's also an excellent writer having written several well-received and best selling mysterys.

The New Yorker recently published a great piece on the Kinkster and his run for Governor which has gathered a lot of momentum. It's a great read.

The Kinkster's official campaign site can be found here. Be sure to check out the merchandise site and the mulimedia page with some interesting video.

Anyone who ends his speeches with "May the God of your choice bless you." is alright with me. Vote Kinky!
