2. Many years ago 60 Minutes did a Gov. Ann Richards profile

that had a hilarious moment I recall clearly today. Gov. Richards had told Leslie Stahl to interview who ever she wanted, there are no restrictions.

So, Leslie Stahl was interviewing Mollie Ivins on the Governor's mansion? front lawn about her opinion of Gov. Richards, and in the background of the screenshot was Gov Richards sort of hustling down the lawn toward them waving her arms and asking Leslie Stahl "..what are you doing?...what are you doing?"

So Stahl replied; "I'm interviewing Mollie...you said I could interview anyone I wanted", and Ann Richards replied , "Yeah...but NOT her....not her!" as she still moved toward them. It was a real laugh for all that I wish was in an online 60 Minutes archive.

I searched You tube and the CBS site, but I guess they don't put up past 60 Minutes shows.
