R.I.P. ANN RICHARDS

What a loss! The charming ex-governor was the first female elected in Texas for 50 years, overcame her hard-drinking and smoking ways, and lordy, cracked on the Bush family like no one else could. Also quite lovely, something (the Texas-sized hair, maybe?) tells me she must've been a helluva a fag hag. She always stood up for women and minorities and wanted it written on her tombstone that she helped people rather than "I cleaned house." George W. beat her for the governor's seat, but Ann was so popular in Texas that he dared not smear her in his campaign. (As the republicans prepare to spend every penny they have on negative advertising against the dems in the mid-term elections.) Just imagine if she'd beaten W and went on to the White House instead of that turd. A woman's compassion is exactly what the world could use right now.
