Kinky makes campaign stop in Houston

Kinky was in town today:

Entertainer and author Kinky Friedman began his first official campaign swing in his self-styled unconventional independent run for Texas governor with a conventional stop Wednesday at a Houston school. Friedman, whose humor often plays on his Jewish background and whose music group was known as The Texas Jewboys, spoke to about 150 students and teachers at The Emery/Weiner School, a private Jewish school.

There's just something appealing about a man whose campaign slogan is "Why the hell not?"
