Kinky Friedman is an asshole. And he ain't funny anymore.
In the four way race for the Texas Governor, we are seeing Democrat Chris Bell, a genuine populist and man of the people, narrow the gap between him and unpopular GOPer Rick Perry to 5 points. What's frustrating is that many of the Democrats voting this year will vote for faux-Independent, Bush-buddy Kinky Friedman, that funny guy you just, shucks, gotta love.
Or do you? The more you find out about Kinky, the less you are gonna like him and Texans need to wake up before we once again repeat the mistakes of 2000 & vote in the GOP.
Yes, this woman crying over the body of her family member is a crackhead, Kinky. In fact, Kinky,
these men and women who lost everything in Katrina and waited days just to be rescued while bodies floated around them - they were all just crackheads, thugs, and prostitutes.
Fortunately, Houston has Senfronia Thompson, the best damn public servant since Barbara Jordan, and she's calling Kinky out:
Kinky Friedman has called himself a 'compassionate redneck,' " said Thompson, chairwoman of the Texas Legislative Black Caucus. "He would do well henceforth to highlight his compassion while de-emphasizing his redneck tendencies."
Kinky, this race may be a joke to you but there are millions of lives at stake and attitudes like your just ain't gonna cut it. And to the Democrats voting for Kinky - have you guys learned NOTHING from Nader and 2000??
Kinky later admitted that there were "some good people among the evacuees."
That's right. "Some." As in most still are crackheads and thugs. Really classy.
It'd be one thing if we had sorry Democratic candidate for governor. It be one thing if we had no chance of winning. But we finally got a good, solid guy and we have a real chance to win & what are you guys gonna do?
Vote in a comedian who thinks most of you are un-American and your neighbors are crackheads and thugs? Vote in a guy who's got no campaign ideas but to just "stick it to the man?"
In my opinion, America got what it deserved with Bush. We elected him and the rest of those GOP morons and we have no one to blame but ourselves.
If you Democrats help Perry stay in office by voting for Kinky, you deserve the crap that you're gonna get.
A shame that the rest of us - middle class Texans, single moms, blue-collar workers - are gonna have to suffer with yer "joke".
And if you don't think having a competent governor is important, you need to ask the East Texas folks who got body slammed by Hurricane Rita and got NO help from Perry.
If you were part of the Houston area evacuation before Rita, when everything became a mess and we waited days for the Governor to turn the inbound lanes around, then you should be able to understand why having a competent, experienced Governor is important.
THAT's just one reason why the hell you should not vote for Kinky. | |
