Well…Its possible, you could be right…but I doubt it. I’m not saying that he will win, I don’t know. but he’s not a joke candidate. Fort Worth is pretty hard core pubbie territory and yet I still see tons of kinky supporters everywhere I go. I just found out tonight they are planning a voter registration drive at my coffee shop next saturday (I didn’t know till I saw the flyer…the inmates pretty much do run the asylum) . I just dont see that many people suddenly changing their minds on election day.
Kinky has caused a bit of a flap lately. From FOXNews:
*Texas gubernatorial wanna-be Kinky Friedman has been branded an insensitive racist for suggesting that a spike in the Houston crime rate since last year was partly to blame on “crackheads and thugs” among Hurricane Katrina evacuees, according to the Associated Press.
The comments were denounced as derogatory and insensitive by community organizers in Houston, even though he said in the same press conference that there were “some good people among the evacuees, honest folk who lost everything and are trying, hoping to improve their lives.”
Houston police have said that 59 of the 262 Houston murders between Jan. 1 and Aug. 26 involved Katrina evacuees, either as victims or suspects.*
