K&R

... she was the cream of the crop, and Molly Ivans too. I don't know how to upload clips from youtube, but if I did, I would run over and dig up as many clips as I could of both Ann and Molly and add to this thread. So many of our young people don't know about these two wonderful recent women from Texas. There's probably allot of footage on C-Span and National Press Club too. Ann is up there looking down at the great work daughter Cecille is doing with Planned Parenthood with a great big smile on her face.
