Friedman loses election, comedian status

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on November 29th, 2006

Now that Kinky Friedman has lost the election for Texas governor, the MSM doesn’t feel the need to dig up 30-year-old quotes to discredit him and he is no longer referred to as “comedian Kinky Friedman.”

From an AP story (“Kinky’s Campaign Furniture Up for Grabs”):

People started showing up Tuesday more than three hours before staff opened the cigar-smoking, black hat-wearing musician and mystery writer‘s former campaign office.

It’s all smiles and backslapping now that Kinky isn’t headed to the governor’s mansion!
