Kinky Friedman for governor: 'How hard can it be?'
But if Lance Armstrong and Willie Nelson stay out of the race, you're probably talking to the next governor of Texas. Don't forget, man's ability to delude himself is infinite.
- Kinky Friedman
I have been pondering whether or not to again throw my hat in the ring during the next Gubernatorial campaign. The last campaign wasn't so bad (I never left the house), and I think my vote total may have actually inched into double digits. Given today's news, though, I may have to rethink my candidacy. My favorite Jewish Cowboy, Kinky Friedman, is seriously considering a run for the statehouse. Frankly, since he would be a hell of a lot more interesting as Governor than I would be, I would not hesitate to throw my formidable political weight behind him. After all, how can you not love a candidate with slogans like these:
- LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS TOGETHER
- HOW HARD CAN IT BE?
- IF YOU ELECT ME THE FIRST JEWISH GOVERNOR, I'LL REDUCE THE SPEED LIMIT TO 54.95
Even better, he could run on a ticket with Scott Chaffin as the candidate for Lt. Governor. Hey, at least we'd have good music, food, and beer....
Run, Kinky, Run!!
