God rest her soul. Say what you will about her, but she was a fighter and an inspiration in many ways.

No jokes about choking on silverware... Anne was a good politician. She tried to do what she felt was right for Texas, her family, and her party. I pray for her family in their time of sorrow.

Yes. But she's dead. She wasn't evil. Let's show some respect.
To: mhking
Sorry to hear that. What a surprise. I remember she was being treated for cancer.

Got to admit her jab at Mr. Bush Sr. was pretty funny ...

So sad.
She went on TV after her cancer recurrence was announced and sounded just as feisty as ever.

Can I be crass and say that this is just the PR opportunity that the Democrats need to create another "Wellstone Moment," but welcomed this time more as an upbeat rememberance, for celebrating the life of Ann Richards?

Sorry to hear that. She was definitely on the other side of the political aisle, but she nonetheless seemed like she would have been kind of fun to hang out with.
