In Texas this year, we have Kinky Friedman doing exactly that.
Many people continue to laugh at the jokes, one-liners and other quotable quotes still being delivered by the Clown Prince of the Texas governor's race. But at what point, if any, does the laughter give way to something else?Some of Kinky Friedman's quips are funny (at least the first two or three times you hear them). Some are funny and outrageous, as is the nature of satire, while others are mostly outrageous, and anything but politically correct.
Friedman, so far, has been able to operate without the PC restraints of most political figures, probably because he is viewed as more of an entertainer or self-promoter than a politician, as a protest candidate who only a handful of people, if that many, expect to be the next governor.
Without much of a political program to promote, he simply performs the role of Kinky.
What could have been a simple refusal to apologize to Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn, the other independent candidate, over a recent campaign flap about ethics prompted Friedman, instead, to challenge the PC issue head-on.
"It's meaningless," he told R.G. Ratcliffe, an Austin bureau reporter for the Houston Chronicle and the San Antonio Express-News.
"It's politically correct these days to apologize to the Indians and apologize to the Hawaiians for taking their land, apologize to the African-Americans for dealing with them as slaves and on and on without end. It's a little late in the game to go around apologizing and thinking everything's going to be OK."
Some of what the man says makes sense. Some of it does anything but.
But when you see the number of Kinky stickers around Texas, I sometimes wonder if we might not see the man pull a Jesse Ventura style victory this November. After all, the governor is alientaing the GOP base by stacking his property tax commission with opponents of property tax relief and leaving off the leading expert on the subject, our state comptroller is mounting a quixotic independent campaign, and the Democrats couldn't find a legitimate candidate for office so they picked a thrid-rater who would have been censured by the House Ethics committee if he hadn't been thrown out of office int eh Democrat primary.
After all, there is something to be said for a guy whose campaign slogan is "Why The Hell Not?"
