[texas] friedman kinda kinky

They do it differently in the States. Kinky Friedman, one of the independent candidates running for governor of Texas, is in trouble for racially insensitive statements. He used the word "Negro". He also joked about Mexicans and the immigration issue. Rival candidates have issued statements expressing shock and sadness that Friedman can be so "divisive" [a term I myself recently employed]. His day job? He’s a comic, musician and writer, with a wonderful name – perfect for the new Governor of Texas.

  1. Kinky has been round for a long time.
    The kerfuffle will blow over, those
    who love him will look beyond his
    presumed outrageous orations.
    He's only getting 16% of the vote,
    per polls. It would be good to see
    the majority candidates listen to his
    advice about the security of Texas'
    borders with Mexico. The ranchers
    and farmers are sick and tired of
    being shot at by thuglians entering
    illegally with warm fuzzy bodies and
    drugs.
