[FrenchieCat]

God bless her!

I will Celebrate her life! :toast:

[rodeodance]

27. didn't Rove put out whispers about her being a lesbian?

[OzarkDem]

28. and a drug addict

they dogged her with a lot of stuff in Texas, but she always stood up to them and fought back. Good advice for any Dems.

[GOPS Worst Fear]

23. She Will Be Sorely Missed!

I put her on my most influential list along with Helen Thomas,Erin Brockvitch,just to name a few. Ann had character and class. Unfortunately, Bush had to swiftboat her and try to tarnish her great name. But you can't tarnish pure gold.

R.I.P. Ann. We love you!

[argyl]

24. RIP, Ann. The best slimed by the worst. Burn in hell, Karl Rove,you and

your vicious tricks defaming this gracious lady to advance the fascist agenda and petty,nasty little man who now has the entire world despising and fearing our country.

Ann was the best;fearless and honest.Smirk,you weren't worthy to lick her boots.

[AtomicKitten]

25. What a wonderful woman!

I'm really saddened by her passing. RIP

[Auntie Bush]

26. May her beautiful heart rest in peace.

George is probably having a drink.

[bbinacan]

29. RIP

[welshTerrier2]

30. Poor George. He can't help it-he was born with a silver foot in his mouth

a sad day indeed ... Ann was someone special ...

here's a link to her great speech at the 1988 Democratic Convention: http://gos.sbc.edu/r/richards.html

[politicasista]

31. God Bless Mrs. Ann

She had more integrity than Blinky EVER will.



R.I.P. :-(

[opihimoimoi]

32. One of my favorite Dems....she was so right and so funny

ya had to take her serious.

A Great Loss for America and Texas.

[windbreeze]

33. The lady had a pair....RIP...

she will be missed....

[Generator]

34. A true original

and that is my highest compliment.

Another good one gone.

[Totally Committed]

35. She was one hell of a broad!

And, I mean that as the highest compliment in the world.

She was feisty, intelligent, wise, funny, and she did not suffer fools gladly. No wonder Bush had to take her down as hard as he did.

She had dignity and class, and right now, I'll bet if there's a God and a Heaven, she's telling God off, and running aginst Him/Her/It for control of the place! LOL!
