Kinky For Governor!

AiD is proud to endorse Kinky Friedman for Texas Governor 2006! From the Houston Chronicle:

SAN ANTONIO - Musician, author, jokester and occasional politician Richard "Kinky" Friedman stood before the Alamo on Thursday to officially launch his independent campaign for Texas governor.

"We're gypsies on a pirate ship, and we're setting sail for the Governor's Mansion," said Friedman, who calls himself "The Kinkster." "I'm calling for the unconditional surrender of (Governor) Rick Perry."

At the height of the redneck-rock music era in 1970s Austin, Friedman and his Texas Jewboys became an outrageous hit with audiences nationally. His songs included They Ain't Makin' Jews Like Jesus Anymore and Get Your Biscuits in the Oven and Your Buns in the Bed.

"The anti-wussification campaign is primarily against political correctness," Friedman said. "It's sad, people are afraid to say Merry Christmas. Particularly me. I'm a Jew."
