More hard hitting journalism from 60 Minutes: Video Gaming Pros

:eyes:

I rarely watch 60 mins anymore because all they cover is bs like this :boring:

1. i found the story about Kinky Friedman amusing....

...suppose he has an impact on the Texas governor race?
....I WAS sad to see them compare him to Jesse Ventura....who was nothing more than a self-centered money-grubbing ass hole.

4. I don't see the difference between Kinky and Jesse.

To guys like this, it's their world. We're just living in it.

Wrassler...Wryter. With Kinky, it's all image, just like Ventura, isn't it?

I didn't have to live through it, though. Maybe you know something I don't. I just don't see a big difference. Just another big ego.

On the other hand, if he can get Rick Perry unelected, that would be good. :)

5. Actually, I think Ventura is a better writer than Freidman...

I just don't care for his pun-laden, whimsical, stupid little mysteries.
Kinky had one good idea in his life. After the Nudie suit with the menorahs ansd Stars of David, it was all downhill from there.

7. If you don't like Kinky, you must not have a sense of humor

Or maybe you haven't heard much of his music.

8. I didn't say I didn't like him

Yes, I have read his books and heard his music. I think he's funny as hell.

That has nothing to do with whether he'd be a good governor.

Yeah, I'm humorless. People say that all the time. :crazy:

[ugarte]

10. I'm glad you like Kinky

Don't worry about what kind of governor he'll be. No chance of that happening, unless he goes Republican and comes to Jesus.

9. I had several encounters with him as a newsie.

small outfit, not part of the liberal monolith.
he's an asshole.
details available if ya want 'em.

[stevedeshazer]

11. That was my impression of him on his TV bit

Hey, dish!

2. Frankly,I enjoyed it----they've often had "light" pieces on 60 Minutes.

3. The third story is always fluff. Has been that way since the show started.

I loved the one last week about Felicity Huffman.

6. Saw it

Wasnt much more than a fluff piece but I still give them credit for the occasional home run they hit.
