So long Ann you were one of the good ones.

Asked once what she might have done differently had she known she was going to be a one-term governor, Richards grinned.

``Oh, I would probably have raised more hell.''



Smart, tough, funny, and really caring about real people you showed the world what true
leadership from Texas looked like.

No matter what I was doing whenever I got a chance to listen to you Ann, I did.

God Bless you, gal & good bye

:cry:

1. Ann Richards was the real item
Every time Katherine Harris (Idiot- FL) opens her mouth on TV, I think she is trying to come across like Richards.

"Poor George, he was born with a silver foot in his mouth"

Called it like it was. Love those TX Lady DEMS.

6. You know she is cracking them up today
She probably has them laughing it up at the pearly gates. I will really, really miss her.

8. I hope she's giving God a piece of her mind, too.
"Look, I understand free will and all, but this administration really is a tool of the devil, ain't it? Well don't just sit there - DO something!"

Poor George, indeed.

5. Advice to live by
I didn't know her personally, but I always had the feeling that the negative crap Rove and the Bushistas spread about her personal life never bothered her at all. She knew who she was and she was very comfortable in her own skin.

"born with a silver foot in his mouth." Best line ever.
