That's right. Son of Mary Martin, friend of the former mayor of Weatherford (and Speaker of the House) Jim Wright.

But Larry was left of Jim, a liberal of the old Progressive v. Conservative wing of the Texas Democrat one-Party division of the early 1950's.

Wright himself and the radical left of his own latter Party deserve far more credit for the fall of Wright in 1989 than Newt can factually every dream of.

Hagman wasn't nearly as vociferous in his a**holery after getting the new liver. But he was still a loud and proud Molly Ivins-type mocking old Texas lefty.

AAAAAAAAACK Molly brings back more bad memories than Larry ever did.

Thanks for the insight.
