Well, I didn't mean to start anything but I do want to say that my original post was aimed at the press, not Ann Richards. I don't care what her politics were, she was a public servant respected and loved by many who she served and she deserved a better rememberance and reference to her service than what they gave her. It just pissed me off.
EDIT: BTW, I would feel the same way if it were George Bush or Bill or Hillary Clinton. I think the press and talk radio does a great disservice to all of us and they are the biggest reason that otherwise reasonable and good people hate each other because of their political views and beliefs. Unfortunately, people like Katie Couric, Dan Rather and Rush Limbaugh will probably be held up as heroes when their time comes and we will see endless memorials and specials about them. They are, after all, very good at patting themselves on the back every chance they get. Something is very wrong here.
