How many degrees of separation are there between Kinky Friedman and Tom
Delay? Sadly, one. Read on. Club Chairs, please pass to your members.

Delay's Attorney is a Kinky Campaign Adviser
By Phillip Martin
Here's something interesting: a campaign adviser for Kinky Friedman also happens to be Tom Delay's attorney.
Back on August 11, Kinky Friedman, the independent candidate for Governor, hired Dick DeGuerin as a staff adviser. This came with little fanfare, but was noted in both the Houston Chronicle and on Kinky's blog as evidence that he's running a fairly conventional
race:
"Don't be fooled by the "Kinky Volunteers Needed,"and "Why The Hell Not?" T-shirts available on Kinky Friedman's Web site.
Writer, musician, jokester and independent gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman is actually running a fairly orthodox campaign.
This week, Friedman announced that Dick DeGuerin of Houston, one of Texas' top defense attorneys, has joined Friedman's campaign as a staff adviser."
Dick DeGuerin also happens to be Tom Delay's attorney, and has spent most of the last few days speaking up for the indicted (former) majority leader:
DeLay attorney Dick DeGuerin doesn't buy it. "He's attempting to destroy Tom DeLay," he told reporters in Austin yesterday. "Tom DeLay changed the face of Texas politics. Nobody can deny that. But Ronnie Earle wants to destroy him because of that."
Looks like
Mr. Independent isn't quite so independent after all. Ronnie Earle has received tremendous support from many in the Kinky camp for his fight against corrupt officials; yet, a man who has spent the last 48 hours attacking Ronnie Earle is on Kinky's payroll.
What do you all think: would DeGuerin be paper or plastic?
