Ann Richards-Bush Born with Silver Foot in his Mouth

[WilliamDRowlett]

This "rode hard/put up wet" old hag alcoholic of a woman was Governor of my state for 1 term and was actually a pretty decent Guv. But she had this problem of being too "cutesie" and putting her "foot in the mouth" in the process. So along comes this dumb twerp named George W. Bush in 1994 who defeats her for re-election. W Bush got even for Ann Richards mocking his dad this way. Then he got even with AlGore. Then eventually Saddam Hussein. Ann picked the wrong family to make fun of.

The bad news for the Democrats was that this was basically the highlight of not just the convention, but arguably the entire 1988 campaign.

[billyboylb]

I miss her. Bush was such a nutjob.

[St984]

You left off the part where W. got revenge for this and also killed Saddam Hussein....

[Karma2Die4]

You were one hellava speak and Politican...RIP Madame Governor...

[john1schn]

Yeah, Richards was great. That's why she had that one whole term. Then was defeated by Bush. Yeah. Richards was great.....

[latinguy67]

@john1schn It's Texas. It it's white, male and stupid, it will win. See Rick Perry for details and hard core proof.

[Womanizer2985]

Every time I see this video it brings a huge smile to my face. She was one of the greatest public leaders this country ever produced. If her health hadn't gotten in the way I believe she could have been President and perhaps the best in this nation's history.

[gopconservative78]

I bet you jerked off to her picture

[billyboylb]

She was great. We need more strong, smart women....not the dumbfucks like Sarah Palin.

[gopconservative78]

I think dumbasses like you need to be shot

[fullysickmayte2221]

Nobody cares what fuckheads with the name 'conservatives' think.

[acres90]

yes

[OnomatopoeiaMan]

How funny nickokas! I think the exact same thing about Regan!

[nickokas]

I didn't know Regan was a cunt?

[OnomatopoeiaMan]

Hey don't discriminate. There are plenty of bastard women and cunt little men. Granted there a lot more of the men...

[trickyforehand]

That woman was a full-blown, wrinkled up, cigarette smoking moronic hag.

[acres90]

so true

[JuneauActor]

She would have been a fine president. R.I.P. ann.

Get out and vote America! If you love your country and mankind, consider voting for Obama/Biden.

[itsjustme2919]

@JuneauActor I want reckless spending and higher taxes and expensive healthcare plan. When do I get to re elect Obama?

[ph03n1xamb1t]

@itsjustme2919

Factually inaccurate

[springjo1]

@JuneauActor If you hate your country and mankind, consider voting for Obama/Biden.

Paybacks are Hell, "Ma".

H.W.'s son, "W" ended your sorry political career.

He who laughs last...

[voxepisode]

Corny, unfunny, unwitty .. and classist. Delivered by some old windbag political hack. This is what passes as great political oratory? Cicero is spinning in his mausoleum.

[gunjitsingh]

O tempora , O mores

[zark78]

This was the best, most hysterical, most entertaining convention speech ever.

Still has me on the floor to this day.

Classic.

[acres90]

oh ur so right...dukakis did so good

[Waterbury75]

Got to love class warfare.....Nothing like working your ass off, teaching your kid to do same, and to have this opportunist throw a "silver spoon" line in there. You liberals suck. Go create something.

[kucinichliberal67]

Oh, yeah, because H.W. wasn't the son of a rich Senator with close ties to the highest echelons of power in the country. Prescott who?

[Zakdayak]

"Nothing like working your ass off"

The guy showed up drunk at his Yale interview - that's how confident he was of getting in, work his ass off my ass. You're just mad cuz it's a clever line.

[greg2009]

That was funny!!!!!!!!!and true

[nickokas]

what is funny is the bitch thought she was smart and ultimately and now thank god the cunt is dead.

[stopcop]

It was a funny comment, but I find it annoying that the audience laughed after "Poor George" and "He can't help it" Those lines weren't funny at all.

[jasonnwest]

maybe you should watch the whole speech, beyond this 40 second excerpt, and see what the context of it was.

Call me crazy, but i have a feeling she must have said something funny before this moment, thereby making the crowd laugh.

[melonierocks]

It's a southern thing, like "bless your heart". -

bless your heart An old or southern woman's excuse to insult people without being rude.

Old lady: That little girl has a face only a mother could love. Bless her little heart.

Southern woman: Your mother is a whore who sleeps around. Bless your heart. (from urban dictionary)

[lindeene]

@stopcop

[haasxaar]

which year was this?

[Shaaaunda]

1988, the year Dukakis was the nominee for president and about two years before Richards became governor.
