Funny how you guys aren't interested in what Kinky did just before the remark you take such great offense to....

No free pass, spiny. (0.00 / 0)

From your link:

"Concert will Benefit SPA*, Children’s Museum of Houston, and New Orleans Musicians Clinic".

These are all very worthwhile organizations and deserving of support.

I'd expect any governor of Texas to do the same.

I also expect them not to refer to Katrina survivors who aren't part of the New Orleans Musicians Clinic as "crackheads and thugs".

Doesn't seem like such a high bar to clear to me.

*SPA is the Society for Performing Arts

That was an admirable thing to do for a friend. (0.00 / 0)

and fellow musician.

I've done the same for a friend who'd hit a rough patch, as have many people I know.

But a governor needs to be able to feel compassion and act on behalf of those he doesn't know personally as well-even those he wouldn't share a stage with, or a meal.

you should send out a press release (0.00 / 0)

And tell everyone about how awesome you are.

Reminds me of the story about some 'evil' company spening millions of dollars advertising that they donated tens of thousands of dollars to some "positive" thing. I'm thinking it was Tobacco or a drug company...

Hey, I'm just pointing out (0.00 / 0)

a side of Kinky you refuse to acknowledge. I realize it doesn't square with you campaign to besmirch his good name but it is the truth.
