Harry.

You miss the (other big) point.

No one is as smart as Jon.  No one.  Therefore, following from that premise, 
all others are dim-witted, therefore, so is Kinky.

There.  Wasn't that helpful?

Furthermore.  Given the rather dismal record of recent Texas governors, 
Kinky certainly couldn't be worse than either George or Good Hair or 
perhaps, even Ann.

I after all remember (watching and listening to...in person) .... Price 
Daniels!  Whew!  Now there was an "intellect".....if a can of cold chili 
could be said to have an "intellect".

Naturally, those good folks in West Texas who can't distinguish their 
foreskins from their forebrains will be upset if anyone who isn't a Baptist 
or who fails to have some really good ole time Texas name....such as 
Williamson, for instance....isn't elected.  Let them eat oil, say I.
