I loved hearing her speak. She was a Texan, so it wasn't often I heard it but holy cow that woman could give a speech, make'em laugh, then jab them in the jugglar at calling folks out on how shitty they were.

RIP White haired lady, you were damn awesome in my book!

Loved this part

Richards said she never missed being in public office. She grinned when asked what she might have done differently had she known she would be a one-term governor. "Oh," she said, "I would probably have raised more hell."

Worst governor in our history...and that's saying something considering Perry sucks, Clements sucked, White sucked. Hell, Bush actually wasn't the worst governor. She was extremly far left and anti-gun. If you are anywhere to the right of Clinton, she hated you. Good riddence I say and I hope Molly Ivins isn't far behind.

Wouldn't say that's a bad thing for some of us.
Though I've never heard her on her anti-gun stance. Hm..can't love everything about someone I suppose.
I thought she was a ballsy, brassy lady. On an interview level she commanded the house, loved seeing her on televison!

I'm not trying to talk shit on her death, but she was a polarizing person to us right wing nut jobs as Pat Buchanan is to the left. I can't believe she's actually from my hometown and graduated from a conservate college (Baylor).

clinton signed nafta into law and eased environmental restrictions on corporations en masse, among a hundred other anti left actions, how much further neo con could he have been?

But wasn't he the first black president? Blacks can't be neo cons.

Haha no kidding.
Actually,when I saw Willie this summer(fucking excellent,BTW) they were playing some of the reggae album..Kinda weird,but oddly,his voice actually sounded in place with the music.
This thread got the shit hijacked out of it...

If you are anywhere to the right of Clinton

Doesn't that apply to the entire state of Texas? Or did you mean geopgraphically?

Everywhere but here in Austin, which has got to be the liberal bastion Berkeley only wishes it could be.
