1. I really liked Ann Richards

[SomeGuyInEagan]

20. Her guest role on "King of the Hill"

makes me smile just thinking of it. Such a wonderful, smart and funny woman.

She and Molly Ivins were the roses of Texas.

[gopiscrap]

22. How cool, I didn't know she did that

[blkmusclmachine]

25. +1.

[noiretextatique]

[Smarmie Doofus]

6. No "silver foot" in HER mouth. K and R

[tblue]

7. Gone way too soon.

Beautiful person, inside and out. Love her spunk and soul.

[sheshe2]

8. Gone but not forgotten, tblue~

[mopinko]

29. gone but succeeded by her awesome daughter cecile.

not that head of planned parenthood isn't a great place for her. sadly we need her there.
but hopefully some day she will step out onto a larger stage.

9. The one and only!

I miss her and I miss Molly! Two of the best Texans ever!

[sheshe2]

10. Bless Molly...

Both are gone, Rex, yet never to be forgotten.

[Rex]

11. I miss them both horribly, since we've had Dubya and Perry

Texas went back into the Dark Ages sheshe2. I have to remind young people that we have great liberals and progressives from this state...they are just overshadowed by the EPIC losers that come from this state too.


Wonderful quote! She was so ahead of her time!

[sheshe2]

17. I am an east coaster,

and I was up so late the night that Wendy had the filibuster. I had to see the outcome. She speaks for Texas, and for all women. She has the same spirit and strength that both Ann and Molly had.

I know it's dark in Texas, so many states under GOP rule are. I think people are listening, Rex. I think they are standing up. In fact I know they are.

The most important thing for all of us, is GOTV 2014. We still have a few left to push in 2013....so we vote.

[Rex]

18. I agree! And whatever you do, DON'T quit posting those wonderful

threads on empowered women! I LOVE seeing that here in GD! Very refreshing!

Wendy Davis is the total package and I will do whatever I can to make sure she is our next governor OR senator if she wants to go down that route!

The day of the empowered Texas woman is BACK and it is TIME to get rid of these knuck-dragging men like Rick Perry!

The AGE of the WOMEN is NOW!

[sheshe2]

23. To Wendy Davis~

She can be whoever she wishes to be.

It is the Age of the Woman Now, it's our time.

Thanks Rex, you are to kind. No I am not stopping now or ever~

[lastlib]

19. ...and Barbara Jordan! Another national treasure from the great Lone Star State!

too soon lost to us. (Forever was too soon............)

[Dustlawyer]

27. Ditto Rex!

[arthritisR_US]

15. OMG, another I miss and loved dearly!

[SomethingFishy]

31. I have the best Molly quote ever...

I did projection for a LGBT film festival that Molly attended. She was also in one of the films, discussing Texas legislators passing anti-sodomy laws.
When the two legislators shook hands after getting their law on the ballot Molly looked at them and said:

"That's the last time a dick is going to touch an asshole in this state."

Man you could hear me howling from the projection booth. Molly did too and she stopped by to say hi and thanks. What a great woman she was...

[DeSwiss]

12. K&R

[arthritisR_US]

13. I so loved that woman and what an amazing

daughter she has raised. I miss her.

[ZRT2209]

14. she worked to open the door for women and minorities in govt in Texas

an amazing legacy

[ChazII]

16. Always rock the boat

24. Always glad to k and r for Ann Richards.

Thanks for sharing this, sheshe2.

[lillypaddle]

26. For a minute

I thought she was here with us. Well, I guess she is. She would be so proud of Cecile, President now of Planned Parenthood.

Please don't give up the fight, folks. It has only begun (again!)

[Martin Eden]

28. Best Advice I've heard in a long time
