Cecile Richards . . . . who knew?

[Stinky The Clown]

I'm so glad there's still a Texas Richards in the liberal cause. She's president of Planned Parenthood and was just a convention speaker.

1. A beautiful woman

and very articulate

[BeyondGeography]

2. Remembering Ann Richards...Probably the most emotional moment of the convention so far right there

Wow.

[valerief]

3. She was terrific. "If I got any more help from Mitt Romney, I'd have to take in ironing."

[skeewee08]

4. She's doing a great job very pretty

She was getting teary eyes speaking about her mother very touching

[Chipper Chat]

5. She's fantastic - a highlight of the convention.

And MSNBC is not covering her speech! Now they are not covering Steny Hoyer. Steve Schmidt is bloviating away.

16. Switch to PBS

I've been watching the whole shebang on PBS. No commercials, no editing.

25. I've tried both C-SPAN and PBS, and though I'm a big PBS fan...

...I want to fetch David Brooks a big pair of tweezers to take that tick out of his backside.

6. Thanks to Barack Obama, being a woman is no longer a preexisting condition

Best ever. I hope to see this woman follow in her Mothers footsteps.

7. NOW this needs to go viral!!!!! Wonderful and in a language the

normal young lady or older woman CAN UNDERSTAND!!!!!!!!!!

Cuz most of my friends and relatives DO NOT GET IT!!!!

[xxqqqzme]

8. Thanks to Current

and M$NBC, we didn't get to hear all her speech either. Where's C-SPAN on my line up?

[flamingdem]

9. She's great and yes very clear in her manner of speech

Loved it

[gateley]

10. I've seen her on MSNBC and was impressed, but never knew she was Ann's daughter.

[BumRushDaShow]

11. I never knew eithier but she sure as hell channeled her Mom

I felt 'ole Ann's presence in that arena when the audience came to their feet!!

[Honeycombe8]

12. She was great. nt

[RebelOne]

13. That is a surprise.

I didn't know Ann Richards was her mother.

[Cahow]

14. WHAT an impressive speaker!

I was so touched/moved by Cecile's speech, I actually registered HERE so I could post! Dang, from her Home Spun Homily's to her stats, I had to watch her speech twice, it was >that< good!

28. WELCOME TO DU!!!

[Blue Idaho]

15. No - wait - Cecile is Governor Ann Richards daughter?

Oh My God! That makes total sense! Fantastic lady from a terrific family!

[Firebrand Gary]

17. That DID surprise me! Wooo Hooo nt

[spanone]

18. she's lovely and intelligent.....a great asset to PP

[hifiguy]

19. She's terrific.

When I was a HuffPo regular she blogged there occasionally. Cecile's great, just like her mom was.

[Casandia]

20. She's fantastic! Perhaps politics in her future?? n/t

[awoke_in_2003]

21. If she is half the woman...

her mother was than she will be a great one.

[Horse with no Name]

22. I'm biased. I loved her Mother. I love her.

I missed her speech. I am going to have to find it to watch. Thanks for the heads up.

[Whisp]

23. she is so very attractive

besides being good looking there is something else about her that is very gravitating.

I could tell Lawrence felt it too! I swear he was thinking about grabbing her and kissing her right on camera. and she knew it. There was some ping pong going on there.

[Stinky The Clown]

27. I hope that didn't come across to Tamron Hall

[ecitraro]

24. I don't have a TV, anyone have a link? nt

26. Ann Richards was a wonderful woman

who famously said about W "poor George, born with a silver foot in his mouth." She was the best, so glad we have Cecile.
