First off, I didn't necessarily have a bad impression of Kinky Friedman.... before tonight. Sheesh. He might be a good comic, but he is not governor material. C'mon- WHO in their right mind would tell people, in response to a question about his cigar smoking, that Sam Houston was a drug addict and alcoholic? Was he trying to say he was in the same league? Or "I'm better than Sam Houston, who was an opium addict?". Please. VIDEO- on Offensive Questions.
