This very, very funny and well written column by Mary Mapes on the Democrats fight for Texas is getting a shout-out on my blog because she has introduced me to a quote with which I was previously unfamiliar, and that might be my new favorite quote of all time. After describing Texans' appreciation for a good female politician, Mary tells us about the state's first female governor, Ma Ferguson:"...a hilarious quote attributed to Ferguson during a debate on the use of Spanish in Texas public schools. She exhorted the state to require English, saying, 'If English was good enough for Jesus Christ, then it is good enough for the children of Texas'."
