DALLAS (Reuters) — Kinky Friedman, the best-selling author, country singer (remember The Texas Jew Boys) and friend of the stray dog, next week will officially toss his ten-gallon hat into the ring for the 2006 Texas governor's race, his campaign said Tuesday. 'I want to be governor because I need the closet space.' Plus, he wants 'to fight the wussification of Texas.' He knows it will be tough to win in the heavily Republican state, but he thinks he can win votes from people fed up with bland politicians. 'We hope the people of Texas are going to reject the choice of paper or plastic,' he said." Go Kinky!
