Mainstream media notices: Kinky is a dumb, racist cracker
Sez the AP
AUSTIN, Texas -- Gubernatorial candidate and professional wiseacre Kinky Friedman was accused Wednesday of making another racially offensive remark _ this time in a year-old interview in which he said sexual predators should be thrown in prison and forced to "listen to a Negro talking to himself."
The independent candidate already was under fire for referring to Hurricane Katrina evacuees in Texas "crackheads and thugs." Some black politicians from Houston took that remark as a slap at black victims of the storm.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram and the Houston Chronicle have reported on an interview with Friedman that aired on CNBC last year in which the country singer and comedian was asked what to do with sexual predators.
"Throw them in prison and throw away the key and make them listen to a Negro talking to himself," Friedman said. He also called "Negro" a "charming word."
Wait! This is déjà vu all over again! I just know I've read this story before... back in March on BOR. Well, it's still a good thing when readers of the print media finally hear about stories that have been floating around the blogosphere for months. Don't fret, Washington Post: we'll always have Watergate.
