Go Kinky
If you're not a Kinky Friedman fan by now, you are about to become one.
One of the great political stories in generations is about to unfold, as Richard ’Kinky’ Friedman, humorist, performer, mystery writer and Texas Monthly columnist, has announced his run for the governorship of the state of Texas in 2006. Friedman certainly will bring a whole new ballgame into Austin ’s capitol building, and he will do so as an Independent candidate and political amateur.

'Go Kinky' Reality TV Show Pilot to Air
Country Music Television will air a preview of a proposed reality show based on Kinky Friedman's independent run for Texas governor.
The music network will show two half-hour pilot episodes of "Go Kinky" on Wednesday. The episodes are set to premiere in early 2006 and could lead to a TV series.
Friedman is portrayed in the show as a humorist and a man of the people _ an "anti-politician," says a statement issued Thursday by his campaign.
"We agreed to give CMT this access to give Americans a window into just how hard it is to run for office as an independent these days," Friedman said in statement. "People will see what happens when you buck the two-party system in this country and hopefully Texans will get mad enough to do something about it _ and show the rest of America the way!"
Can't wait to see the bumper stickers for that campaign! "If you're not Kinky, your not running for Governor" or "Hey, Clinton was kinky and he was President, I'm Kinky and I just want to be Governor!"
