"I'm a yellow dog Democrat, I represent Tom DeLay and I'm for Kinky — I see no contradiction there," said DeGuerin, an unpaid adviser to Friedman.

Willie Nelson Hosts Friedman Fundraiser

AUSTIN, Texas - Willie Nelson opened up his central Texas ranch and private golf course Sunday, raising an estimated $170,000 for his friend Kinky Friedman, an independent candidate for Texas governor.

Friedman, an author and entertainer, will need up to $5 million just to get his name on next year's ballot, managers say.

Nine contributors — including Dick DeGuerin, an attorney for Rep. Tom DeLay — paid $5,000 for a round of golf with Nelson, Friedman and Ventura. DeLay recently stepped down as House leader after being charged with money laundering and conspiracy.

"I'm a yellow dog Democrat, I represent Tom DeLay and I'm for Kinky — I see no contradiction there," said DeGuerin, an unpaid adviser to Friedman.

1. Kinky's taking tips from Jesse Ventura?

:eyes:

[reality based]

2. There will be a good Democratic candidate for governor

Probably former Congressman Chris Bell. Kinky will run as an independent. You lose your yellow dog credentials if you support Kinky.

4. Kinky and George Bush are good buddies.

Something to consider.

5. oh come on....

you know that DC is full of people who play on different teams but are best friends off "the court" so to speak.

6. How comfortable are you with the blending and blurring going on?

We are increasingly becoming a one party system.

It should be called the "wealth" party.
