"My Governor is a Jewish cowboy"

The world's best-known Jewish cowboy crime novelist, Kinky Friedman, is running for governor of Texas:
Mr Friedman has a few policies, but opinions by the handful, most of them deliberately offensive: he is in favour of gay marriage ("They have a right to be as miserable as the rest of us"), legalising gambling to pay for primary education ("slots for tots") and smoking Cuban cigars ("I'm not trading with the enemy; I'm burning their fields"). He is less partial to fossil fuels ("we are running out of dinosaur wine"), Castro ("a 45-year legacy of arresting librarians") and Southern Baptists ("They don't hold them down long enough").
He also plans to appoint pot-smoking, biodiesel-promoting fellow country singer Willie Nelson as "energy czar", charging him with the responsibility of converting Texas (a state with a proud history of oil dependency) to renewable fuels. Funnily enough, The Times calls him a conservative. I'd have thought that, by Texan standards, those opinions would be well on the liberal side of the spectrum.

Got to your website because of a bumper sticker we say that read: "MY GOVERNOR IS A JEWISH COWBOY". Couldn't decide on the meaning, I looked it up on Google and loved the description on the term. Not familiar with Kinky Friedman, but love the concept behind the sticker. RAVE ON!!!!
