  • I was living in Austin at the time Anne Richards was governor

    [Read the article: Hillary at twilight]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    For the life of me I can't remember her doing anything much more memorable than making the clever comment: "poor George Bush, he was born with a silver foot in his mouth." True enough, but Richards isn't really remembered for much more than that, besides her battle with the bottle. This ad sounds like a real non-happener. Funny how people outside of Texas seem to think Richards was some kind of legend. To most of us she was the woman who beat Clayton Williams for the governor's office, and nobody but the crudest redneck could have voted for Williams. I voted for Richards because she was really the only alternative.

    But it does indeed seem like your grabbing at crumbling "biscuits," or straws, whichever way you people across the Atlantic like to put it, will all in reality come down to how the proverbial cookie crumbles next week, which isn't boding terribly well for Hillary this coming Tuesday. The bredth of your knowedge about WWII is impressive, but I shan't be one to go over the crumbs of history, but shall instead look forward to tomorrow, and life's great, great mystery. Hope you go off to sleep just as smug as a bug in a rug. Cheerio!

  • Bizarre?

    [Read the article: Hillary at twilight]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    What gets me as bizarre is how anybody could want a pants suit clad war hawk to be their fist woman president. Today Iraq, tommorow Iran! What furthers boggles the brain as completely insane, is the fact that anybody would want a Clinton Mach III dynasty, with Bill as co-president, while I guess Chelsea will be groomed for the succesion to the throne. Yeah, that's the kind of injection of new blood and perspective that gets me all excited going to polls. Man Doc, I'd vote for Adlai Stevenson too if I was you. Given a choice between Clinton and the dead guy, the dead guy gets my vote every time.

    Tom, you nailed it. There's gonna be some of the flimsiest fear mongering ever dreamed of for Obama to field if he makes it to the general. You make it funny here, but it'll be a more serious matter when things come down to the mat, and I thing Obama is evry bit up to these idiots and their CGI generated "sinister saracens amongst us" smear campaigns. They can try to make him Obama of Arabia, but it still stands to that he's really just Obama of Illinois. They're really gonna have to pull out the special special effects. Thanks, great 'toon.

    Some cheaply try to sell him as the Manchurian candidate, but my man Obama is like an indestructable black James Bond, and I believe that he can prevail and win the day to steer, our whole country away from Hillary's brittle web of fear. Go Double O!
