In other words, it’s now The Laff Stopped. (What? Too soon?) But seriously folks … ...

• Hank Gilbert and the Kinkster in a Footrace

  
  Half Empty — Authority: 423
  I noted with some relief here that Hank Gilbert withdrew from the race for the Democratic nomination for Texas governor, and left the story for awhile when it looked like Kinky Friedman, erstwhile professional comedian and campaigner, was going to follow suit but not before weighing his options on to whom he would ...

  http://www.doublex.com/blog/xxfactor — Authority: 626
  I admittedly cant get enough of Annise Parker , Houstons newly elected, lesbian mayor—partly because its just so much fun watching the rest of the country be so dumbfounded by my home state.

• Kinky Drops Out

  
  jobsanger — Authority: 488
  I no longer have a candidate in the governors race that I can support in good conscience. The choice is now down to a rich man who wants to buy the office, a rabid blue dog and an unknown teacher with no name recognition and no money to get any. Thats because the last candidate with any redeeming features dropped ...

• Waiting For Kinky

  
  jobsanger — Authority: 488
  As most of this blogs readers know, I supported Kinky Friedman for governor in 2006, and I jumped on board his campaign early this year for the 2010 primary.

• Carole the chameleon and Kinky the commissioner

  
  Off the Kuff — Authority: 147
  This would be a little too weird.

Asked if he’d welcome Strayhorn to the Democratic ...

• Roundup and reaction to White’s announcement

  
  Off the Kuff — Authority: 147
  Bill White isn’t officially a candidate for Governor yet, but he’s already picked up endorsements from State Sens. Kirk Watson and Eliot Shapleigh . I feel confident that many more such endorsements will follow, perhaps even before he commits to the race. For now, at least, the other Democratic contenders for ...

But quit he did , in a 3:00pm news conference yesterday. Schieffer was the first serious candidate to declare his candidacy, and I think he expected to be the ...
