Molly Ivins Has Died

7:17 pm EST January 31st, 2007 | Uncategorized | 3 Comments

For a long time, before the blogs and such, she was one of the few liberal voices outside of the DC establishment who occasionally cracked through to the mainstream press.

Best-selling author and columnist Molly Ivins, the sharp-witted liberal who skewered the political establishment and referred to President Bush as “Shrub,” died Wednesday after a long battle with breast cancer. She was 62.

    She was the smartest and funniest columnist since Mike Royko. Just the best and I will miss her greatly.

    RIP Molly.
    (You too Mike.)

    Indeed, OW and Jerry; Molly Ivins will be missed. I couldn’t help myself; I offered a brief silent prayer on her behalf, and on our behalf for having lost her. Of course, bastard that I am, I also called down the most vile curses of hell upon those cowards and scum who have already begun to spit upon Molly’s grave.

    That’s too bad. I actually had a very cordial email exchange with her in 2000 when Bush was running. I had written her about a column she wrote and I was surprised when she replied. A nice lady and a good writer with a sharp wit. RIP Molly.
