Infamous Texas humorist, Jewish cowboy, and recent candidate for both Texas Governor and Agriculture Commissioner , Kinky Friedman, plans to make an official endorsement in the Governor’s race, according to a number of sources. During his political career, Friedman has campaigned as a Republican, Democrat and Independent, so this endorsement could finally shed a little light on where his true political motivations lie.
Turns out it does, sort of. Kinky is forgoing the two top candidates in the governor's race to endorse Woodrow, a once-homeless rescue dog. The Woodrow for Texas Governor Campaign, united behind the motto "How Ruff Could it Be?”, is designed to help support Austin Pets Alive.
Woodrow's owner, Lorri Michel, told the Statesman that Woodrow's candidacy represents both her frustration with politics and an opportunity to provide financial support for a worthy local non-profit. And as far as Woodrow's political affiliation goes, he’s "a doggone independent," said Michel.
Friedman, an outspoken advocate for animal rights and founder of the Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch, is scheduled to make the endorsement Tuesday, July 6 at 10am on the south steps of the capitol. The press conference will be filmed, and eventually used as an official campaign commercial for Woodrow.

Bill White must've lost another debate and Kinky decided to go with the winner.
And I think at this point Americans would much prefer Bo the First Dog to B.O. for president
"Cigars all around!"
Kinky is a joke. But so is Al Franken, Jesse Ventura and most (correction: ALL) liberal politicians.
At least we Texans haven’t actually elected Kinky Friedman to office.
But I think the more germaine question wouldn't be "why the hell not", but simply "why the hell".
Kinky the clown.
It's a little too close for comfort.
They don't call them Yellow Dog Democrats for nothing.
Get your biscuits in the oven...
Wonder what Jim Hightower gave Kinky to drop out of the Democrat primary this spring to clear the way for Bill White? Hightower convinced Friedman to run for something else.
It’s telling that he isn’t endorsing Bill White now.
I am curious to know if White’s neighbors are talking to him since he got that huge million dollar tax break on his house and they didn’t.
To continue to prove himself an idiot and a very unfunny joke.
Kinky wasn't funny years ago and he isn't aging well.
Get a clue fool, go away.
When you look up “growing old gracefully” in the dictionary, it ain’t his picture ya see.
Kinky’s 15 minutes were living in a mobile home park in Florida, but they died ten years ago and the next of kin scattered the ashes.
Thanks a fool in paradise.
