Jerry Springer talked about Kinky on today's show

[ashling]

A bunch of Friedman's athletic supporters called in. One guy from West Texas couldn't answer any questions that Jerry asked about Texas politics. Somebody brought up Grandma and this guy had no clue as to why they called her that, but thought that the only reason she decided to run as an independant was because Kinky was doing it.

Some nitwit from Stephenville called in and claimed the KF was a serious candidate and would win.

I finally got on and first told him that I saw him on TV last night and that I was impressed with that hip action thing and that he danced the truth while Tucker was just into spin. Then I told him that my daughter had met him at the Young Dems of America meeting in Buffalo NY (BTW, he gave a good talk there - Abby got it on video) and again at the DNC in Boston. Then I said that the real reason I called was to make it clear (contrary to what some callers thought) that KF was not any kind of liberal (one caller sid that he had to be a liberal because the name of his band is the Texas Jewboys)or any kind of progressive, that he was instead a Republican as he supports Bush's middle east policies. I also talked about his pro choice comments, Tx Grd on the border, and Katrina comments.

I was just about to tell him empatically that it is not a 3 way race between Goodhair, Gramma and KF and talk about Chris bell, but I got cut off.

1. It's important to make your point quick.

But at least you got in that the Kinkster is a dipshit. Unlike W, he is fun to have a beer with, though! You want him in a saloon not the Statehouse! Good work!

2. Thanks. I'm glad one person acquainted with the issues called in.
