Kinky Bid for Top Job in Texas

Will the Kinkster's pursuit of Dubya's hat stop in Texas?

Eccentric American country singer and writer Kinky Friedman has announced he will stand for George W Bush's old job as Texas governor in 2006. The man behind the Texas Jewboys band and such best-selling crime novels as Kill Two Birds and Get Stoned is set to run as an independent candidate.

While his policies are as yet unclear, Mr Friedman has pledged to "not kiss babies their mothers". Asked why he is standing, he replies: "Why the hell not?"

The cigar-smoking country singer says he wants to "fight the wussification of the state of Texas". "I want to rise and shine and bring back the glory of Texas," he adds, describing himself as a "writer of fiction who tells the truth".

Here's a ticket I could support- Governor Jew Boy and Lieutenant Governor Jim Hightower. Let's put some humor and populism back in Texas politics.
