Fox Business talk show host Don Imus has come out in support of Richard "Kinky" Friedman's campaign for Texas Agriculture Commissioner. He's also having some fun with it.
Imus had a phone conversation with Friedman on his show Wednesday morning. Here's a transcript the show put on it's blog:
8:40:17 A.M. - The GREAT Kinky Friedman is on to discuss his bid for Texas Agriculture Commissioner. The I-Man's got a lot riding on this, because he's ready to plant a few acres of hemp in anticipation of Kinky's being elected and legalizing marijuana. At least we think it's Hemp. Deirdre could have substituted organic Kale for all we know, we won't until we put it in the bong with some Cholula and smoke it. Imus fears that Texas Voters don't know how brilliant the Kinkster is, what a humanitarian, and what a big heart he has for both humans AND animals. Of course, the name 'Kinky' might have something to do with that. Especially if you Google it the wrong way. Talk about "NSFW". Whatever you do, don't type in 'Kinky Texas', unless you want a bunch of photos of Cowboys with gag balls in their mouths.
Hairballs talked to Imus Thursday about Friedman and his recent statement during his campaign stop in Houston last Sunday that, if elected, he hopes Imus will apply for a grant to grow hemp on the ranch he recently purchased near Brenham. Friedman's reasoning was that such a grant would likely result in the Attorney General's office having to reexamine current law and issue a ruling in relation to hemp farming.

(144,884 posts)I gave money to Kinky in 2006 and that was a mistake. I do have two Kinky Friedman action figures at my house. Now, I just wish that Kinky would go away.
BTW, I voted for Hugh Fitzsimons on Saturday
