On nights like this I really miss Molly Ivins

[malaise]

She would have torn WiLLIARd and the other big LIAR Ryan a new one

[polichick]

1. I miss her too!!

[Generic Other]

2. Yes

She would have reduced Ryan to a pile of cow chips!

[malaise]

22. Cow chips or

cow shit?

[treestar]

3. So True

Can't even imagine what she would say, but it would have been great.

[highplainsdem]

4. So do I.

[Lucy Goosey]

5. I'd love to hear her opinion of the Romneybot!

I miss her too.

[Terra Alta]

6. I love Molly!

I really miss her May she rest in peace.

[Tennessee Gal]

7. Miss her, too!

She was politically astute and extremely adept a turning a comical phrase.

[hifiguy]

8. I like to think that somewhere out there in the cosmos

Molly and her great good friend Ann Richards are kicking back with a bottle of wine and laughing uproariously at the open air lunatic asylum that is the Repiglican party.

[niyad]

9. I miss her so much--I can just hear her roaring with laughter as she sharpens her pen to nail

all the liars, hypocrites, panderers and thugs of the current political scene.

10. You know, it's her birthday today.

A bunch of us were just talking about her last night, lamenting how much we missed her, as well.

I loved it when she quipped: George W. Bush was born on third base, and thinks he hit a triple.

[malaise]

16. I didn't know that

Lovely - she'd be screaming who let these dogs in

[JackBeck]

23. A little added bonus :) . She would be having a field day with these Republicans.

Of course, she would be holding Obama's feet to the fire, as well. But she always seemed to stick it to Republicans more brilliantly.

[PlanetBev]

11. I was just thinking

How much I miss my friend, Sheila. She died last December of cancer. She and DU got me through eight years of Bush. I can't believe I have to face this election without her. I feel especially lonely tonight.

[DainBramaged]

17. We're here with ya

[malaise]

18. We lost a good friend recently

She was delighted to live long enough for Obama to win. She was hoping to stick around for November. Truth be told she was the greatest survivor we knew - leukemia and she fought it for eleven and a half years.

[avaistheone1]

12. Oh yes! And Governor Ann Richards too!!

Heck how do I get her picture up here without the link?

[malaise]

20. Right click the image

Ann Richards was something else.

[avaistheone1]

24. Thank you malaise!

[malaise]

25. Excellent

[Curmudgeoness]

13. I miss her too. Molly can't be duplicated.

And I miss my mother, who also always had some doozies to say about Republican ignorance.

[malaise]

21. Yes we lose so many good folks between elections

I know the feeling

[spanone]

14. she certainly would have....

[DainBramaged]

15. As do I, damn it.

[Cleita]

19. Oh, yes!

The good ones are always gone, especially when you really need them. I discovered Molly and her writing in Texas when my DH and I spent some time there. She wasn't a national figure then. But it only goes to prove that among all the coal a diamond can be forged. I really miss Gore Vidal too. I can't imagine what he would say about this spectacle of liars.
