Hillary Ad: Tribute to Ann Richards (Video)


No doubt about it, if Ann Richards -- champion of civil rights for minorities, women and gay men and lesbians -- were alive today, she'd be campaigning passionately for Hillary. I wish.

The ad below is by Hillary's campaign and is a tribute to the great leftist firebrand and feminist trailblazer Ann Richards. Back in the days when a woman president was basically unthinkable, Ann Richards was the second woman in 160 years to give the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention. That was 1988. The first woman was Barbara Jordan. Ann's daughter, Cecile is president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.


"Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels."

“Poor George, he can’t help it. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth.”
