Willie Nelson hosts Kinky Friedman Fundraiser

AssocPress: "Willie Nelson opened up his central TX ranch and private golf course Sunday, raising an estimated $170,000 for his friend and TX gubernatorial hopeful Kinky Friedman-- an independent candidate for TX gov. Kinky will need up to $5 million just to get his name on next yr's ballot. Former Independent MN Gov. Jesse Ventura, who was elected as a member of the Reform Party, joined supporters for lunch and golf. Kinky dished out his signature one-liners along with a $1000-per-person, buffet-style lunch of brisket, sausage, barbecue chicken, beans and rice. Another table offered vegan and kosher selections. 9 contributors — including Dick DeGuerin, attorney for Tom DeLay, paid $5000 for a round of golf w/Nelson, Kinky and Ventura. DeGuerin, an unpaid adviser to Kinky said: "I'm a yellow dog Democrat, I represent Tom DeLay and I'm for Kinky- I see no contradiction there." Hmm, maybe DeGuerin is not a minion of evil, eh? B/c anyone who truly supports Kinky for TX Gov in a genuine way can't be all bad.
