Two fools love each other and that makes news. Latest poll results, 71% of the people oppose Hoover Perry.
I’ve read most of Kinky’s books and think I’d like him in real life. The boy can’t sing and likes to keep you off balance, but he’s a mensch, too.
“Obama has done for the economy what pantyhose did for foreplay. Obama has been perpetually behind the curve. If the issue of the day is jobs and the economy, Rick Perry is certainly the nuts-and-bolts kind of guy you want in there. Even though my pal and fellow Texan Paul Begala has pointed out that no self-respecting Mexican would sneak across the border for one of Rick Perry’s low-level jobs, the stats don’t entirely lie. Compared with the rest of the country, Texas is kicking major ass in terms of jobs and the economy, and Rick should get credit for that, just as Obama should get credit for saying “No comment” to the young people of the Iranian revolution.”
“More to the point, could Rick Perry fix the economy? Hell, yes! Texas is exhibit A; Rick’s fingerprints are all over it. He’s been governor since Christ was a cowboy. The Lone Star State is booming. The last time I checked, Texas is kicking in a hell of a lot of the U.S. GDP. Unemployment is lower than the vast majority of the other states. Hell, we could probably even find a job for Paul Begala.”
Great endorsement...
Check it out!

Is that not the COOLEST thing! Happenin’ everywhere, isn’t it! I keep sayin’ it’s sheer fun watching Rick do his thang’. No frowny faces anywhere around him...except for his opponents, whom he can put into permanent pout, and make up later after he has stomped them to death. Well, okay, a little over the top. He may not debate worth a darn, but oh, baby, on the stump, is where it’s at. Kinky was fun too and very kind and helpful to get up off the couch and fess up on Rick’s can-do and has-done. Very nice.
Thank you for a grrreat post! It’s going viral now. A very good thing!
Texas would be even better economically, if it wasn’t for all of the many decades of problems related to illegal immigration that are, still, occurring throughout Texas (ditto, the other states between Canada and Mexico). Throughout the entire Texas/Mexico border, there’s, still, no fence and, still, no solid protections, and it’s not just the fault of the past and present federal government. Rick Perry, also, signed into law the Dream Act of Texas, after the Texas legislature agreed to it, without any “No” votes. ALL OF YOU RICK PERRY SUPPORTERS AND RICK PERRY, HIMSELF, NEED TO, FULLY, EXPLAIN YOURSELVES TO EVERYTHING THAT I’VE WRITTEN ABOVE. Please, and Thank You.
Kinky’s 2006 run in a four way race for governor made him, in effect, Rick Perry’s Ross Perot.
The Strayhorn independent candidacy took RINO votes away from Perry giving the Dem a shot at winning.
Kinky took Democrat votes away from the Dem candidate allowing Perry to win.
And something tells me Kinky ran deliberately to help Rick Perry.
That’s how big time politics works.
Do you think Jim would appreciate this, narses? Did you ask him?

Somehow this edited quote isn’t quite the same:
Narses:
“..... if Palin does not run but Perry does, he’d probably suck all the air out of the race. Either way, ..... Perry would all be excellent alternatives to Obama the commie.

Actual Jim Robinson Quote:
“The presidential race is heating up. We now have conservatives Bachmann and Cain officially in the race fending off RINO Romney; and Palin and Perry could possibly jump in. My hopes are with Palin, but if she decides not to run I could be happy with Bachmann or Cain. Also, if Palin does not run but Perry does, he’d probably suck all the air out of the race. Either way, Palin, Bachmann, Cain or even Perry would all be excellent alternatives to Obama the commie. Anyone but RINO Romney the big government chief architect of CommieCare!”

It’s all in the editing and can I completely understand why you would want to edit out those parts.

I’m sorry. I should have pinged you to the above post.
Ya gotta love Kinky. My fave part of the article was:
“Obama has done for the economy what pantyhose did for foreplay.”
Thank you for a grrreat post! It’s going viral now.

For real? I hope so.
For those who don’t know him, the cigar-smoking, 60-year-old Mr. Friedman is a comic fixture around the state. For years he led a country band, Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys. Then he wrote a successful series of mystery novels. Until lately, Mr. Friedman had written a humor column for Texas Monthly.
All that led me to take his governor talk as mostly silliness. After all, he announced his campaign for the governor’s mansion by explaining, “I need more closet space.”

Love him, but wouldn’t want my sister to marry him . . .
Kinky loves and rescues animals.
That alone endears him.

“And something tells me Kinky ran deliberately to help Rick Perry.”
~Breakdown from 2006 election - Perry 39%, Bell 30%, Strayhorn 18%, Friedman 12%. Sorry but your theory doesn’t hold any water. More than likely Strayhorn, the loose cannon liberal Republican, helped Perry more than Kinky by taking votes from no-name Bell. As a matter of fact, I know many voters (self included) that voted for Kinky that otherwise would have voted for Perry if he (Kinky) were not in the race. To be sure, a portion (but not all) voted for Kinky as a “none of the above” candidate.
Kinky tried to run for Ag Commissioner in 2010 but it was ruled that he didn’t meet the qualifications required for that office. He may be a comedian but he is certainly less of a joke than about 75% of today’s politicians. He is an honest man.
What’s the big deal? Seems like an easy choice:

What is the disconnect between Israeli Jews and U.S. Jews?
And that's ALL I have to say about that.
