The woman in grey is the former Governor of Texas, Ann Richards, who was most famous for her 1992 DNC speech when she insulted President George Herbert Walker Bush by saying he just couldn't help it, because he was born with a silver foot in his mouth.
Which, you gotta admit, is a pretty good line...
It was even more fun a couple of years later when she was spanked inglorously at the polls by GWHB's even more inarticulate son.
OMG, I did not recognize her at all, thanks.
