I miss Molly Ivins now more than ever. |

Back in 1992, Pat Buchanan gave a speech at the Republican convention that was worthy of Hitler. And Molly nailed it on the head when she said: "It sounded better in the original German."
God, you've just got to love her.
What do you think she would have had to say about Palin's speech?

2. I keep thinking of Ann Richards, and you just know she'd mob the floor with Palin. |
|
If anybody could verbally destroy that vile beast, Ann could've done it with one hand tied behind her back, and a smile on her face.

7. The world is a poorer place without those two women! |

I miss them, too. We could use a good evisceration of Palin right now.

9. As brilliant a writer as Molly was, I am not sure even she could |
|
muster anything to say about the warmongering, racist hatefest that is the RNC. Some things just defy description or commentary.

11. Molly was never at a loss for words |
|
In her book titled "Molly Ivins Can't Say That, Can She?" she had an article she had written about two Republicans in the Texas legislature.
They had just succeeded in passing a law outlawing sodomy and they congratulated each other by shaking hands.
Molly's take on this was printed in "Mother Jones" magazine which doesn't edit obscenity. She wrote: "... and in shaking hands, they broke the law they had just passed that a prick can't touch an asshole."
Only Molly could have sliced and diced these morons so thoroughly.
