a wise guy when it comes to politics

Comrades,

Pleased to report that Kinky Friedman is alive and well at 71, and still in good form.
Reckons he's got this far because Willie Nelson is his shrink.
Kinky is a wise guy when it comes to politics, and the fact that your opponents will always dig up all the dirt on you they can while on the campaign trail:

"Willie told me that if you fail at something for long enough, you become a legend. And of course, the other advice he gave me when I ran for Governor [of Texas, 2006] was that if you're gonna have sex with an animal, always make sure it's a horse. That way, if things don't work out, at least you know you've got a ride home".

Kinky Friedman says he's the only politician in the state who isn't too chicken to propose legalizing marijuana.

Call him ol' fashioned...

Ol' Kinky has been a failed politican since way back in '86, and has also only recently had two failed late-career runs to be elected as Texas Agriculture Commissioner on a pro-dope platform as a Democrat.
Never got past the Primaries.

"God probably couldn't have won as an Independent"

Bless
