Okay, first off, we like Kinky. His run for guv may be laughable, but at least he's mixing things up. We would be remiss, however, if we didn't link to this AP article: Texas Candidate Caught Drinking in Car. Do we blame Kinky for not turning away an open can of Guinness while he was in the passenger seat of a slow moving car in a parade? Nah. Open-container laws are open-container laws, but this was a parade. Kinky released a statement saying, "Guinness is the drink that kept the Irish from taking over the world. It would be unthinkable not to have a Guinness during a St. Patrick's Day parade. In fact, it would be spiritually wrong."
You just can't make this stuff up.
Did you see his staff's response? "He drank, but he didn't swallow."
We'll drink a drink a drink to Lilly the pink the pink the pink. The saviour of the human ra-a-ace.
Modify and make it the campaign song...medicinal compound for Texas politic.
He was on camera with us at KDAF on Sunday night. His campaign has dubbed it GuinnessGate 06.
The beer was bad enough but for god's sake Kinky,
WEAR A SEATBELT!
yes. it's important to wear a seat belt, even when you're going .5 mph while riding in a parade route on a closed-off street with hundreds of police officers standing near by. cause you never know when someone's going to snap a photo and accuse you of wanting to repeal the seatbelt laws.
He wasn't even in the passenger seat, he was riding on the trunk of a two seater. No mention in the story about the other floats in the parade with kegs on them.
