GETTING KINKY

Lovably eccentric Texas gubenatorial candidate Kinky Friedman is in town for a $500/plate fundraiser with supporters at Bob’s Steak & Chop House tonight. A former FrontBurnervian bigshot journalist alerts us that The Kinkster’s campaign got a big write-up in the Houston Chronicle recently, and they are using some quality source material:

“Friedman isn’t the only one urging Texans to skip the primaries, though. Park Cities People, a community newspaper for the wealthiest parts of Dallas, has been highly critical of Perry’s administration. The paper is urging Republicans to stay away from the polls so they can sign either the Friedman or Strayhorn petitions because the independents offer the “only opportunity” for a “full-throated” debate in November.”
