I guess it’s good news for Kinky Friedman that after all this time, some people still think of him as a Celebrity Candidate, where the fact that he sometimes says funny things trumps the substance (or, as is often the case with Friedman, the lack thereof) of what he says. How anyone who has spent five minutes paying attention to Friedman and his unsubtle appeals to the Dan Patrick crowd might think that Ann Richards would have fallen for his baloney is beyond me. But just so we’re clear:
The Richards children – Cecile, Dan, Clark and Ellen – issued a statement saying Richards did not support Friedman.
“Ann Richards did not support Kinky Friedman for governor of Texas nor endorse him before she died. She was very concerned about this election. She always voted a straight Democratic ticket,” they said.
‘Nuff said.
