Comments on: Kinky Friedman? Musician – YES, Governor – NO http://www.baldheretic.com/2006/03/13/kinky-friedman-musician-yes-governor-no Bandwidth Frittering And Rampant Shutterbuggery By Jay Lee Thu, 29 Jul 2010 16:43:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: fred http://www.baldheretic.com/2006/03/13/kinky-friedman-musician-yes-governor-no/comment-page-1#comment-1155 fred Sun, 19 Mar 2006 20:21:28 +0000 http://www.baldheretic.com/2006/03/13/kinky-friedman-musician-yes-governor-no/#comment-1155 I think you all are over estimating the power of the governor in Texas, really it's the legislature that does actual work (if you can call it that). For me KF is more of a spiritual vote (knowing far to well that he won't get elected) that I'm tired of politics from both repubs and demos.

(Note to my future grandchildren reading this: Kinky is a minor colorful politician who tried to run for Texas governor and was quickly forgotten afterwards): No one I have talked to can really say why they’re for Kinky…what he stands for or what we can expect from him as governor. In some regards I think people just enjoy saying the word “Kinky” out loud or revelling in the perceived effect of the word prominently displayed on the bumper of their pick-em-up truck.

"I'm not pro-choice and I'm not pro-life," he says, "I'm pro-football!" I expected, though, that he'd follow up with some substantive remarks. I'm still waiting. It is insulting to women whose most personal rights are on the line that he dodges the issue entirely. It is insulting to the fetus-fetishists, too, who as much of a right as I do to know where he stands. Plus, he voted for Bush. I mean COME ON. IF there is any better indicator of poor judgment, I don't know what it is.
