WASHINGTON — Want to get Kinky? Just turn on the TV.
Author, entertainer and Texas gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman, complete with cigar, black cowboy hat and Southern drawl, is about to star in his own reality show.
"Go Kinky," airing on Country Music Television, follows Friedman, an independent candidate, on the campaign trail in the Lone Star State.
“Every crazy redneck in Texas is for Kinky,” Friedman told FOXNews.com from his ranch in Medina, Texas.
A successful mystery novelist, Friedman led a band called Kinky Friedman & the Texas Jewboys, founded in 1971. He penned songs like “Ride ‘Em, Jewboy” about the Holocaust and “Wild Man From Borneo” about a person in a cage as part of a circus.
CMT will air a sneak preview that shows Friedman eating hot chili on a warm Texas day at a campaign event, shaking hands with voters and going to the barber.

I liked Kinky better when he played with the Kinks!
Oh, like the state lotto was SUPPOSED to do but didn't?
As far as a politician, I dunno. But the Kinkster is one of today's few great philosophers. Just read the lyrics to his critically acclaimed masterpiece "Old Ben Lucas" if you don't believe me.
Probably this is exactly what the Dims in Texas hope. The Kinkster is himself a sickening uber-liberal, although I believe he once was pals with a young G. W. Bush.
Or his classic "A****le from El Paso"?
He can go straight to hell for all I care.
Or his even more classic: "my wife ran away with a n---er."
I couldn't believe I was hearing right the first time I heard it, looker around to see if I was gonna get busted or hit by lightning or something.
Got news for this guy(I am sure he already knows); but any kind of casino monies go to the family controlling them. You really think Las Vegas keeps their money? I don't think so. That money never stays in town. Lotto money is gambling money and I am sure it never stays in town either. You are dealing with crooks either way.
Also, I think lottos are just another form of taxation only people can't wait to throw their money at it.

Talking religion and politics for all the world to hear:
I do work for some Dhimmi Political Activists. They are planning on bypassing the Democratic Primary in order to get Kinky on the ballot. There is a reason they are doing this, and I hope that people are aware of it.
In Kinky's home county, I've seen two kinky bumper stickers. In Austin, I've seen tons of them. I would think the ones I've seen in Austin were not sported by crazy rednecks, but by the usual liberals.
I believe that was David Allen Coe, not Kinky.
Other taxes are consfiscatory. Choose your poison.
You may be right. I saw them in person at a concert at Spechts Store, a little juke joint north of San Antonio. I think they sang it together and it seemed like more of a Kinky song.
Ot the other classics: "Get Your Biscuits In The Oven And Your Buns In the Bed", or the grim "Ballad of Charles Whitman"..
I've found that sometimes people confuse the two.

Latest Zogby...
Perry - 42%, Bell - 25%, Friedman - 21%
Perry should send the Kinkster a gift basket. He's only 4 points behind the dims.
If he had to get elected, I would prefer him to any dhimmocrat.
