So what's up with Kinky Freidman - the next Governor of Texas ?

According to my morning paper Kinky was handed a Guinness during a St Patricks Day parade - which violates the Texas open container law since he was riding in a car at the time. Since no police saw this happen he wasn't arrested. According to Kinky - and I'm paraphrasing here - "Guinness is the beverage that kept the Irish from taking over the world - and it's my patriotic duty to drink it"
