| If there's one thing that is quick for a guy like me who never met Ann Richards to learn, it's that wit and a funny story are almost always a must when talking about her. So as we move back to full posting strength, I'd like to offer this funny tale and a quip from my mother that I thought was fitting.
Remember last week when Chris Bell went out hunting? In the story they mentioned how Ann Richards started this tradition.
Richards, the most recent Democratic governor, hunted before TV cameras in 1990 and during her years as governor. She said in 1992 that hunting boosted her popularity.
"Man, after that (1990 trip), my numbers went straight up in (rural) East Texas," Richards said.
Well, at the time, Bell may have had some trigger problems. But my mother who writes me from time to time (an understatement if there ever was one) wrote me this quip which is worthy of Richards herself.
"I would rather go dove hunting with Chris Bell with the safety on, than go quail hunting with Dick Cheney and get shot in the face."
I couldn't help but smile. |
