This is astonishing, considering that we are talking Texas here, not Illinois. There was a multi-party race for the nomination to the Democrat aspirant to the Texas Governor's office. For those readers not familiar with Texas politics, here are the players involved.
Kinky Friedman: just no. He wants desperately to be important, but he is a walking freak show. His last campaign (for governor) was so serious that his slogan was: "Why the hell not?" He is running for Agriculture Commissioner now. He is accusing Gilbert and Shami of taking and giving bribes.
Hank Gilbert: was running for the Democrat nominee for Governor, and it was looking close between him and Farouk, but he suddenly dropped out of the Governor's race and now he wants to be the Democrats' Agriculture Commissioner. He suddenly switched from attacking Shami, to endorsing him for Governor.
Farouk Shami: Running for Governor. Immediately after Gilbert dropped out of the Governor's race, Shami donated $150,000 to Gilbert's campaign for Ag. Commissioner.
Gee, what an amazing coincidence
