[Lilith]

When I was young and foolish, I thought she'd (http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/09/14/richards.obit/index.html) be the first woman president. I :heartbeat ed her.

[Oldfart]

Damn shame.

[wyndhy]

farewell ann. you left your mark here in the best possible way.

[Steph]

Oh man, I can't believe she's gone! I thought she'd outlive me! I loved that firebrand.

I loved her on "King of the Hill". :)

[osuche]

She was a wonderful role model

[Pita]

While I didn't share her politics I loved her unabashed, in your face way of saying things. She was always fun to watch. Rest in peace Ann.

[LixyChick]

I agree Lil...I could always count on her "straight from the hip" responses and remarks! If honesty without refrain gets you to a higher place...she's mountains above it all!

R.I.P. (and keep checking in on us!)

I'll never forget her speech at the '88 Dem Convention...& the line about George H W Bush being "born with a silver foot in his mouth"...
