I knew I liked Molly Ivens for a reason.

[DarkPhenyx]

She was just on "Wait Wait, Don't Tell ME" on NPR. It turns out taht she uses "ya'll" which is always aplus, drives a pickup truck (with crome on it) and can giggle at a sexist comment.

GO MOLLY!

[VelmaD]

1. Of course she uses "y'all"...

and drives a truck - she's from Texas after all. (And we know how you like those Texas girls. ;-))

[ctex]

2. Even though she was born in California

She was raised in Houston

3. She was in Toronto a couple days ago..terrific interview on CBC Newsworld

with Evan Soloman...It was an informative and very amusing interview...She is great...She was here re her book "Bushwacked."...Soloman is a good interviewer and she really opened up...
I've always loved her since I first saw her...She's REAL!

11. Hay!

I watched it this morning.... my favorite thing she said...

"when it comes to gun control...I'm pro-knife"

12. LOL, you watched on radio?

I heard bits and pieces of her. She did good! Won Carl Kassel's voice for the contestant. Not many celebrity guests do -- as Peter Sagal pointed out.

4. Molly's great!

7. She was on this morning.

The guest contestant. Of course she got three out of three right. Most impressive.

6. My husband has a bone to pick with Molly

Thursday on NPR, she called Bush a Texan, and implied that Texans are all very pro big business. My husband is a sixth generation Texan, and he takes such statements very seriously. None of his family or friends are pro big business, and they all hate "that carpetbagger", their name for the Shrub. I have yet to meet a Texan who says Bush is anyting else.

8. What is the real background?

Born in what state?

Pre-college schooling in what state?

[Wickerman]

9. On wait wait

she said that he went to high school (prep-school?) out East, but was home in the summers where she knew him to say hi to him. She continually defines himas affable. I wonder if she really wants to say laughable?

[glarius]

10. I've heard her refer to him as "affable" too...but actually that's not

necessarily complimentary....A brainless dolt can be "affable"....I think it's one of those words that can cover a lot of ground....:)

13. Molly is awesome

Read "Bushwhacked," then read "Shrub," then read "you got to dance with them what brung ya."

I only wish I were so articulate.
