Just a quick thought....

I am left wondering if GOP-mouth-piece Matt Drudge's posting of this story regarding a supposedly racist remark by a showy third party Texas Gubernatorial Candidate might be a weird attempt to provide a little cover for George Felix "Macaca" Allen.

Why else would this odd twist make the national radar?

Kinky Friedman has been singing, saying and writing rather politically incorrect stuff for years and years. Much of it is hysterically tongue-in-cheek or snarky commentary. (Anybody who is familiar with his work got the joke in question.) His candidacy is just another episode in the Kinky Show. (Then again, nobody predicted Jesse Ventura in MN, YIKES!)

If this is, in fact, some kind of hamhanded "they're racists too" attempt to blur the Macaca Affair, is Drudge so stupid as to think that the band leader of Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys is the appropriate way to juxtapose the two?

Oy....
