I still think it would neat to hear the MSM say 'Govenor Kinky' just once. I was in CA when Arnold was elected and was surprised that many professional 'news reads' could not pronouce Schwartenegger.
Governor Kinky and the Texas Jewboys from the Lone Star State?
(Before anyone gets offended, Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys really was the name of his band at least back in the 80s. He's never been too sensitive about his heritage.)
(One time I was back stage at the Kerrville Folk Festival, and this swarthy gentleman comes walking up and says hello, and we talk for a while, and for some reason I asked him if he was Flaco Jimenez, and he says, "No, mah names Kinky Friedman, and I'm runnin' for Sheriff of Kerr County, and I'd like your support. I wasn't from there, but I supported him, oh yes I did!)
(I love Kinky but I wouldn't want him as my Governator.)
The newsies could probably spell it right, though.
