Ann Richards, Silver-Haired and Silver-Tongued “Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels". “I've always said that in politics, your enemies can't hurt you, but your friends will kill you”. “I have always had the feeling I could do anything and my dad told me I could. I was in college before I found out he might be wrong.” Upon complaints of a creche on the lawn of the Texas Capitol Building: "You know, that's probably as close as three wise men will ever get to the Texas Legislature, so why don't we just let them be." At the 1998 Democratic National Convention as keynote speaker, Ann said the following about George Herbert Walker Bush: "Poor George, he can't help it. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth." And in a recent clip to be aired prior to movies in an Austin movie theater, Ann, who was well known for talking too loudly herself in movie theaters: "Turn off your cell phone, or Ann Richards will take your ass out!" Ann Richards, a great Texan, a great woman, a great politician, and a great person, will be missed most for her great wit.
