Kinky will run for Ag Commish
Which is just more of his utter bullshit. The saddest news is that Jim Hightower nudged him in that direction.

1. That Is Really Sad that Hightower has pushed the Kinky factor into the Ag race
What a waste of time, money and effort for Hank.

7. I am really disgusted with Hightower over this Kinky stuff
I subscribe to his newsletter and I sent him a letter of complaint through the website, but got no reply.

8. Glad you made your views known.
I hope lots of other Dems tell Hightower what they think of his Kinky endorsement as well. :hi:

10. Want to hear something else unbelievable?
A reasonably intelligent person from my area thinks Kinky would be OK. I just about dropped my teeth when I read this, as my mom would say.

12. I'm very disappointed
#1) That Susan doesn't know better about Kinky
#2) That Hightower is being "used" to sell Kinky since Hightower was a great Ag Commissioner.

That is really bad that Hightower is giving Kinky "acceptability" because of his past service. :grr:

17. Yep. I am very disappointed in both of them as well.
Kinky, on the other hand, is behaving just as I would expect.....

5. Hank's reply on the TX Tribune article
Edited on Mon Dec-14-09 05:36 PM by sonias

UPDATE 4:06pm: Friedman's opponent, Hank Gilbert, released a statement:

"Here we have a candidate who is running for office-any office-solely because he wants to promote his books and personal appearances," Gilbert said. "Kinky is no Democrat. If he was, he never would have stayed in the 2006 race running as an independent and denied our party's nominee a real chance at the governor's office," Gilbert continued.


I totally agree with you Hank. :thumbsup:

Here's the whole P/R from Hank's website: Gilbert Welcomes Kinky to the Race

Sure Hank is going to get Kinky into the ring, and then he's going to wipe the floor with him.

:kick:

6. I agree with Hank too.
Kinky is all about self-promotion. He needs to do it outside of our political process if he cares at all about Texas. He is no match against Hank.

15. Vote for Hank in the BOR poll
burntorangereport.com/pollResults.do?pollId=347

You do have to register for an account if you don't have one yet, but registration is free.

Who would you vote for in the Democratic Primary for Ag Commission?
* Hank Gilbert - 40 votes (72.73%)
* Kinky Friedman - 15 votes (27.27%)

19. Yes.
Whatever will get him out of races where there is a good Democratic candidate. Can't he and Hightower find a power vacuum somewhere????

22. Good for you!
Jim, WTF! Really - you can not believe that FUKF is going to do good work for the people of Texas.

Back away please. Has Hightower even met Hank Gilbert? They need to meet face to face.
