ann richards...R.I.P.

**Shelby07** · 09-14-2006, 05:23 PM

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.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with you Sid. Really bad form.

I'm sorry she died. Didn't really like her as gov though. Shelby is right about the press thing, its just a good way to make Texans look like a bunch heehaw dipshits.

If they think she was funny they would have LOVED Clayton Williams.

Pretty bad form to trash the dead. I won't miss her political views but you have to have some compassion for a human life lost. I take no joy in her passing.

Love her or hate her she had guts enough to put her views out for all to see.

Plus, wasn't she on King Of The Hill? One of the funniest animated shows ever put on television, IMHO.

Damnit, Bobby!

By good riddance, I say I will not miss her. She was filled with hate for Republicans and said so in many ways many times.

This is bullshit spin. Besides your remarks here being inane and classless, you are absolutely wrong about her "doing nothing for Texas". Like WW implied, she ran against Claytie and what a fucking joke that woulda been had he not shot himself in the foot so many times even the rightwingers couldn't ignore what a mistake they were backing. And W as Texas guv? C'mon, you can fuck the tourists, but I live here.
