is so quotable and so marvelous! I'd go so far as to say "golden." She always struck me as so at ease and comfortable within herself. You don't see that in every politician...some seem so defensive and unable to answer simple, direct questions. Guess they're not the truth-tellers Ann was.

Texas Towelie, any idea how many DUers are from Texas?
