Molly Ivins quote

[Playinghardball]

It's been all most 5 years (Jan. 31, 2007) since she passed away...

RIP Molly

Boy...we really miss her wit....

[BigDemVoter]

1. What a great lady. . . .

I didn't realize that five years have already flown by since she passed. What a shame to have lost her so early.

[spanone]

2. k&r...

[etherealtruth]

3. Has it really been five years, already?

[lastlib]

8. Six. LONG.years.

I definitely miss her.

[freshwest]

15. Very long without her wisdom.

[awoke_in_2003]

17. And no Governor Richards...

two ladies who made a big impact.

[sulphurdunn]

26. and Jim Hightower

All from Texas. That's irony on steroids!

[ananda]

32. Hightower is still with us and going strong!

He made me laugh when he said that Rick Perry put the "goober" in "goobernatorial."

[lastlib]

36. And Barbara Jordan.....

God, I miss her--maybe more than I do Molly!

You can throw a knife -- in which case it could ricochet.

Just sayin'.

7. God I miss Molly Ivins....

..she could cut through this Fiscal Cliff in 2 paragraphs.

[burrowowl]

18. Golly Miss Molly

you are missed

[MrMickeysMom]

9. I was explaining who she was the other day to a family member...

My mother loved her and died right around the same time. I always hoped one soul would meet the other, both continuing to inspire me.

It's my hope that someone will do a screenplay of her life because she should be celebrated by so many more Americans.

10. What a coincidence that you post this. I have just started looking into the world of

pocket knives, which has changed tremendously since I was a boy. In those days the swiss army knife was king. Now the variety of folding "pocket" knives is dizzying. And the number of fixed blade designs has exploded as well. I am sure that I'm well behind the trend but it seems to me that the market for "tactical" knives is just as big if not bigger than that of tactical firearms.

To be sure, knives are less of threat in a crowded room. And they are safer in general - although it might be easier to injure yourself while cleaning or sharpening a knife the type of injury is usually minor. To actually harm someone else you do need to catch them and that might be a challenge for some of the NRA crowd.

11. Oh What A Mess We're In .. To Bad She's Not Here To Make Sense Of It All. Love you Molly

[bvar22]

12. They don't make DEMOCRATS like Molly anymore.

One of the last of a dying breed that STOOD for something.



Thanks, Molly!

[mountain grammy]

23. We still have Jim Hightower, but boy, do I miss Molly.

and you're right, so few to speak up for so many.

[bvar22]

25. Along with Bill Moyers (born Marshall, Texas),

Jim Hightower is getting Up There in Years too.

34. Wait a minute...

...isn't that a possum?

[mountain grammy]

35. Ah yes, Bill Moyers. Thanks for reminding me...

His comments on the NRA after the Colorado Theater shooting were dead on.

[ananda]

13. Kick for truth!

And for a great lady who is sorely missed!

[Chorophyll]

14. She was fantastic.

She always managed to make her point with humor and grace.

[kentuck]

16. kick

[IdaBriggs]

19. Awesome writer - her two books on Junior

"Shrub" in particular, were eye opening and enraging.

He was such an asshole. Sigh.

[Bainbridge Bear]

21. Wubya still is and always will be an asshole.

Worst. President. Ever.

[Bainbridge Bear]

20. She also had something great to say

about Texas, where she lived - "Texas? Mississippi with better roads." She also said that the depressing thing about Texas was that, unlike Mississippi, Texas could afford to deal with it's problems but it chose not to.
She was a great lady and I miss her.

[ewagner]
