Screw Kinky! Help Chris Bell!
Before I completly saw the light and realized that I was a full fledged Democrat, I met Kinky Friedman and got him to sign his last book. I no longer want it, so I put it up on eBay. I'm going to give all of the money I make to Chris Bell's campaign.

2. Chris Bell
I got a chance to hear Chris speak a couple of months ago, he is impressive and will make a great Gov.

3. Way to go robbzipp!
Hope that books sells for a thousand bucks. That's been my point all along, Kinky only wanted to make himself more marketable. Running for Governor of Texas is just something else he can add to his bio, so that he can sell more books and records.

Good luck on the auction!

Sonia

4. Both of them
aren't Rick Perry. Besides, TX gov is strictly a baby kisser. LtGuv and SOH have all the power and the GOP will romp in those races.

What are you getting on that Friedman book?

8. The GOPranos will 'romp' in those races?
What does that mean, and where's your crystal ball? I'd like one, too.

14. This is the Texas Forum
And I thought all Texans know, by now, that the GOP has a stranglehold on the state. I wish it weren't true. But alas, the GOP now owns our state. They have won all the statewide races for a decade, even when the dem is a far better candidate and the rep is a looney. The ONLY reason the Gov race is interesting is the independent factor.

No crystal ball, just an understanding of reality.

15. Yes, this is the forum that is concentrating on how to take Texas
back, not wallow in defeatism. Join us in the fight. Many of us are working hard on several campaigns and for the party. We need all of the help we can get.

9. ok
No one had bid on it yet, so I followed your advice. Hopefully some of the Kinky Zombies will start a bidding war and I can thank them for helping Chris Bell's campaign!

11. Robb
I would put the part back in about donating all proceeds to Chris Bell....
(I did not see it.)

Then call CNN ( what network had a story on Kink last week -60 minutes?) and tell them it is there. Or, we could all put the word out for DU to email the networks
...call, etc....;>

12. If you restore the language about donating to Chris Bell, why don't you
mention this at the Stop Kinky blog (http://stopkinky.blogspot.com/) or some of the other blogs resisting Kinky's stealth-Republican campaign?

18. Sorry Rob

Perhaps it is best to not shine a light on the ass after all.

I will donate today to Chris Bell to match your winning bid.

Perhaps DU is up for that?

16. What was Kinky's last book?

And why would you buy it? As far as I know, he's pretty much a mytery novelist in the same league as harlequin romance.

20. After you Donate to DU, please help us in TEXAS!
Please help us here in Texas to show support for a Democratic Governor.

One of our own donated the money he received from the selling
of Kink Friedman's book and made $20.00.

Map Changers: $5000
