Been watching Ann Richards videos on YouTube.

I miss our former Governor.

She was Texas.

Still think she won the election.

Check out her videos on YouTube.

1. I wish my grandkids could have known her. 3 of them are of voting age and vote straight D ticket.

My 16 year old granddaughter and my 9 year old grandson will also hear about her from me.

[Texaswitchy]

3. Introduce them to her YouTube videos.

She was spot on.

Texas went down hill with Bush Jr. as Governor.

5. That's a great idea!

spot on-if you have PBS Passport access

2. She was great. I especially remember the "silver spoon" remarks.

4. Ann could give a speech.

I met her.

She was bigger then life.

6. I once had lunch with Governor Richard's and Molly Ivins...

It was at a Martin Frost sponsored CDCC fundraiser...

I think it was in Grand Prairie...some BBQ joint.

Basically I was sitting at a table with a couple of my fellow Union members and they both came over and asked us if they could take a couple of empty seats.

Next half hour was epic.

Then Texas went to hell...

7. I bbq with Ann also.

Texas went downhill after her.

Also after Bill Hobby was no longer Lt. governor.

Damn he was Lt. Governor for 18 years.

14. Oh, what a great experience! Both of them together! 👍

[bluecollar2]

16. It really was

I was relatively new to Texas. It was both a pleasure and privilege.

8. Gov. Ann Richards speaks at the 1988 Democratic Convention

[crickets]

17. Oh, thank you for this.

She was so wonderful. I have this playing in the background as I read, and she's just so on point and hilarious. Love her.

[Texaswitchy]

20. I met her.

She was bigger then life.

She had a great laugh.

Another Texas.

[brooklynite]

9. IOW you're watching her make speeches...

I think she was great but I have a sense that folks here would find her politics inadequately progressive today

[Texaswitchy]

10. Another Texas.

Another time.

Still wish we had her now.

And Molly Ivins.

12. Remember When Texas Had a Respected Senator Who Didn't Make an Ass of Himself Daily

wouldn't mind a little Lloyd Bentsen either

[Texaswitchy]

15. We had another Texas.

I miss it.

[RFCalifornia]

13. She was the real deal

[Paladin]

18. I don't think I could watch her now, much as I loved and admired her.

I don't need any further reminders of just how far downhill my state, country and world have sunk.
