I sure do miss Ann Richards.

[Sannum]

She would have been on Larry King and Keith Olbermann every night pointing out the stupidity and hypocracy of Sarah Palin. She would have gotten such a kick out of this election, and she would have been a wonderful asset as a surrogate!

Ann, wherever you are...we miss you dearly!! We hope that you can pull a few strings for our side ;).

1. "Poor George . . . He can't help it!"

How great was Ann Richards?
The last part of your post choked me up.

[Ilsa]

2. And the DU choir sang "Aaaaaahhhh-mennnn". You are spot on.

She would be a hoot on LK and The Rachel Maddow Show. She wouldn't pull any punches.

5. Can I second that amen?

7. Let's put our Blue DU robes on and start singing! nt

3. Ann and Molly Ivins.

Both of them would have been merciless - and done it with humor. I miss them both.

9. Rachel Maddow could have the two of them on. Oh, it would be priceless! And

Rachel Maddow would be laughing so hard the fake eyelashes management put on her would be peeling off, to her own amusement, I'm sure.

(I heard they were fake. What do I know? If they aren't, then, "wow" on her eyes. They sparkle nicely, too.)

12. Wow, that would have been priceless to see those three together

Somewhere Molly and Ann must be having a righteous and hearty laugh about McChicken's campaign.

4. OMG....I was just thinking about how much I miss her.

What a gem she was. :cry:

6. I've thought of Ann daily, and the thoughts of her reactions to the

details of this election year have brought me many smiles.

8. Very true... and not sure of the "vibes" I'm gonna get from this...

...but whether you liked him or not, can you imagine what Tim Russert is saying as he watches this drama unfold?? ;)

10. She had

wonderful communication skills.

11. She will always be my avatar.

I would love to hear her impressions of this election year, she'd have some choice words and phrases, I'm sure!
