Kinky’s 15 minutes were up long ago. He’s a Dem through and through and only got fame because he played into the image of Texas that non-Texans have. It would be like a guy running for office in Chicago impersonating a James Cagney gangster. Unfortunately Fox is stupid and often has him on to represent the Texas perspective (gag). He was never a viable candidate in anything he ran for pre-TeaParty, rather just a joke candidate or a GOP protest vote magnet. Now that the TeaParty provides serious, legitimate options, Kinky is crusty and done.
LOL! Kinky was born in Chicago and stayed there until he was two. He couldn’t find work so he moved to Texas. ;o)
He is an aquaintance but i would never vote for the man and he could not possibly care less. He is much more of a humorist/songwriter/crime novelist than a politician.
