Can you imagine a world where George W. Bush didn’t slime his way into the Texas Governor’s mansion? A world where instead Ann Richards went all the way to the White House, with her sharp tongue and give ’em hell attitude?

Get yourself a copy of “Molly Ivins Can’t Say That, Can She?” by Molly Ivins, in which she tells some amazing and wonderful stories about Ann Richards. My favorite was when she would pretend to be married to one of her black coworkers just to watch the Good ‘Ol Boys squirm.
I remember seeing her on Larry King once, saying how hard it was for her to fly from Houston to DC… “you can imagine what it’s like for a Democrat to fly from George Bush Airport into Ronald Reagan Airport!”
Also look for her cameo in the documentary “Chihuly over Venice”… she was a patron of Dale Chihuly’s work and was in one scene with him as he installed a chandelier over a canal in Venice.
She’ll be missed greatly. Especially by Karl Rove, who will have to spread rumors about someone else being a lesbian.
