Kinky Friedman said his campaign should not have filed a criminal complaint against fellow independent gubernatorial candidate Carole Keeton Strayhorn over possible illegal use of state employees.

Kinky's cheap shots also need to be looked at in context. While Texas farmers & ranchers, in an independent revolt, are about to have their land seized for the Trans-Texas Corridor -- 1.2 million acres is the largest land grab in Texas history -- and while the Perry administration has managed to keep a signed contract with CINTRA -- the Spanish toll road consortium -- secret for over 16 months, this is what Kinky and Dean Barkley, are focused on. Get a life and get a clue boys, get some guts and ramp down the testosterone, while you're at it. A "true" independent Texan for the Grandma (Carole Keeton Strayhorn).
