I just love Molly Ivins.

She is a national treasure

Thanks for the link.

And I mean that straight from the heart.

Scathing yet screamingly funny.

Texas has to be happy that they have her to offset the wingnuts in their politics.

Perhaps she could run for office someday? Wish.

terms that just seem so logical and simple. I just love her. Thanks for posting this; made me laugh.

In fact, a relative of mine help found the town of Jacksonville, TX. And I still live here so I certainly cherish Molly!

Favorably, of course. She's one of the "good guys."

just trying to help you keep your thread UP

Doesn't she still live in Austin?

were living in San Antonio. I've followed her ever since. I wish she were a louder voice than she is especially since she has the BFEE pegged so well.

Almost since Bush was elected, and anyone with sense could see what a disaster he was going to be, Molly has been careful to temper her most virulent criticism. She has gone after Democrats when necessary (and it has been) and has at times had little patience for the more rabid hatred of Bush, which I thinks she finds analogous to the eight years of Clinton-bashing and -hunting.
That said, as Bush and Co. go over the edge (and take us with them), I think you'll see her call it as she as always seen it but without any dilution. I hope she doesn't blame herself for not being more aggressive; it's not her fault that she is a decent patriotic American of the old school (when being a patriotic American didn't automatically sound like macabre satire).

After the anti-sodomy law passed the house in Texas, the 2 Repuke Reps who came up with the bill were shaking hands, Molly said: "Well, thats the last time a dick will ever touch an asshole in this state" :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

That is hilarious!
