Unbought and Unbossed

Your Right Hand Thief has some good things to say about Shirley Chisholm, who died two days ago.

I'm actually old enough to remember her running for president in 1972. I wasn't old enough to vote--and wouldn't be for another, um, dozen years or so--but her candidacy made quite an impression on me. What I remember most about Ms. Chisholm was the seriousness with which she took the race, and the honesty with which she answered questions and otherwise handled the press and public. A lot of politicians could learn a lot from her example.

She will be missed.
