With his 'Kinky Toons,' Friedman's keeping it fun

With his 'Kinky Toons,' Friedman's keeping it fun: "Whatever your think of his campaign or his chances of becoming governor of Texas, Kinky Friedman has injected a fresh whiff of humor into what might otherwise be a grim campaign.

Incumbent Gov. Rick Perry and state Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn seem headed for a bitter fight for the Republican nomination. Most political bookmakers would say today that the winner in the March GOP primary is a lock to become governor in this bright crimson state.

Former Houston congressman Chris Bell, unseated after the brutal, mid-census redistricting effort led by U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay in 2003, is the leading candidate for the Democratic Party nomination. Bell has some name recognition, Washington experience and party money , but he's running in the most Republican state in the nation."
