Everyone in Texas has been getting a big laugh about country singer/mystery writer Kinky Friedman's run for governor as an independent. The problem is, in his old age he has decided to become racist and nativist. He has made horrifying statements about Mexican Americans.

And now he is dissing the best thing Texas has done for America since giving us Stevie Ray Vaughan:

“The musicians and artists have mostly moved back to New Orleans now. The crackheads and the thugs have decided to stay. They want to stay here. I think they got their hustle on, and we need to get ours,” Kinky said.

It seems Kinky's campaign is telling lies about how Katrina folks have increased violent crime in Houston and how bad the deal was for Texas. Amazing.

Democrat Chris Bell might otherwise have a chance to defeat stupid Aggie Gov. Rick Perry if Kinky were not in the race. Alas, Kinky is going to ensure Perry has another term, even though no one likes him or respects him.

Note: Perry did handle the Katrina situation extremely well. He also worked well with Houston Mayor Bill White throughout the emergency. He deserves credit for that.

Kinky, go back to writing. Please.
