Kinky for Governor! After a year of clamoring about it, it looks like Kinky Friedman is throwing his hat in the gubernatorial ring.
Texas musician and author Kinky Friedman plans to formally launch his candidacy for Texas governor on live television in February, he announced Wednesday.

Friedman said he expects to appear outside the Alamo on MSNBC's "Imus in the Morning" on Feb. 3 or 4. He plans to be joined by the band "Asleep at the Wheel" and a group of child fiddlers.

Friedman told the San Antonio Express-News in Wednesday's online edition that he chose the program because Imus is an old friend and "a lot of geezers watch his show in Texas."

"This could be a very long shot," Friedman said of his anticipated gubernatorial run, which he has touted for more than a year.
He's got my vote, because like he says, "how hard could it be?"
