Friedman brings 'Kinky' campaign to Houston

HoustonChronicle.com - Friedman brings 'Kinky' campaign to Houston: "Kinky Friedman brought his campaign for governor to town Wednesday, but his first priority is leading the weekend Art Car Parade, which he said may be as difficult as running the state.

He's going to spend the next day practicing his wave — he thinks he'll go with the Queen Elizabeth, since he once dressed up in drag for the cover of Texas Monthly.

Richard 'Kinky' Friedman — the 60-year-old musician, author, jokester and occasional politician — wants to run for governor as an independent."
