Adios mofo continues

The adios mofo story continues. I'm getting lots of hits from search engines for "adios mofo." So if you're one of them, welcome. This blog focuses on the gubernatorial race, particularly the primary between Comptroller Strayhorn and Governor Perry. I occasionally muse on other Texas politics stuff as well. (And yes, I know my sidebar needs to be updated.)

1. Front page, above the fold, Statesman headline: "Adios, mofo" is all the rage. The article talks about how radio shock jock The Greaseman uses AMF for his signoff and how lots of folks are selling tshirts with Adios Mofo on it. Meanwhile, Democratic political consultant Kelly Fero has bought adiosmofo.com. There's nothing up yet at that domain name though.

2. John Kelso uses his column in the Statesman to comment on "adios mofo." He's generally disapproving in tone.

3. If you want to watch the adios mofo video, it's still here.

I think the average voter thinks this is funny, and that it humanizes the governor. Sure, it knocks the governor completely off-message for a few days -- it's hard to compete with Adios Mofo as a headline on the front page -- but there'll be plenty of time to focus on school finance in the days ahead.

Humanizes the governor? C'mon. Most Rs I know find it in poor taste and another display of bad judgment.

golightly: Maybe you need to find some Rs who are less uptight to hang out with?

I think it's hilarious.

Further, I question whether it's even a negative that it throws him off message. He's getting free publicity for a comment that isn't especially offensive, just goofy.

Given all the people who profess admiration for that buffoon Kinky Friedman every time he says something goofy, maybe that's not such a bad thing!
