1. Kinky Friedman?!

:wtf:

again I say :wtf:

[hlthe2b]

2. Who is that? eom

[Syrinx]

4. singer and novelist

leader of Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys.

[supernova]

6. All-round Texas Hellraiser

from way back.

Maybe it's just the Texas connection. :shrug:

Nice article in the NT Times here:

7. kinky is part of the neo-libertarian

wack job group with Imus and others.

Hate to say it. I loved his music and I love his mystery novels too.

but I think he was there because he liked Boy George W.

[Bridget Burke]

9. He's a bit difficult to categorize.....

From what I've heard & read from him (dating from his first tours with the Jewboys), I think he was at the White House to get money for his animal rescue ranch.

Anyway, he's running for Governor of Texas. I stilk hope the Democrats can come up with a good candidate. But he'd be a far better governor than Tom Delay's real-good-friend with the good hair.

[supernova]

11. I never knew much

about his politics. Just a passing familiarity with the music.

According to that NYT article:

- * is a big fan of his books.
- Pickles did a fundraiser with him for the animal rescue ranch.

[Syrinx]

3. you took the words out of my mouth

[rfranklin]

5. Gee, did any of these people contribute money to the Bush junta?

I'll bet one or two did.

[displacedtexan]

8. No Rush? What about 2003?

Where's last year's list? I figured Rush the junkie would be on it.

[Toots]

10. Now list their campaign contributions and ask if Bush* is renting

out the Lincoln Bedroom. :shrug: Wanna bet that these are all GOP contributers.

[Logansquare]

13. Well a quick perusal of the first third of the list

pulls up two wives of "Pioneers" and one "Pioneer." Of course, are any FOG (Friends of George) not incredibly rich?

[supernova]

12. Relevant question here

I got sidetracked by the Kinky thing.

What's really relevant here is are these people contributors to the campaign? and Is this any worse than the usual charge at Clinton for having the Lincoln Bedroom up for sale?

Otherwise a list of visitors is not that relevatory.
