AUSTIN, Texas
- Sept. 26, 2006 – Columnist Liz Smith today
announced her support for Kinky Friedman in
his bid to become the first independent
governor of Texas since Sam Houston. Smith,
a close friend to former Texas Gov. Ann
Richards, said Friedman was Richards’
candidate and urged Democrats, populists and
liberal-thinking people to vote for him. “If you were an Ann Richards fan, you could memorialize her by endorsing her own candidate – Kinky,” wrote Smith, a fellow Texan. “In spite of his reputation for loose, fearless talk, his shocking one-liners, his truth-telling and his humorous ways, they say he has a good chance to win,” Smith wrote. “It occurred to me that Kinky and Ann had a lot in common. She told truth to power but with humor so people could absorb it. Kinky does the same thing.” |
