The late, incomparably great Molly Ivins wrote (column included in You Got to Dance with Them What Brung You) regarding Ann Richards' unsuccessful reelection campaign against a ne'er-do-well named George W. Bush: "In addition, there was the God, guns and gays factor. As always, there was a campaign that ran below the radar, particularly in East Texas. Richards staffers dreamed up a game: Put a certain bumper sticker on your car and drive through East Texas, and whoever got back to Waco alive would be the winner. The bumper sticker would read, I'M THE QUEER ANN SENT HERE TO TAKE YOUR GUNS AWAY."
I'm Gay, I voted for Gore, and I'm out to get your Guns!
