Dead at 62, great columnist and a great Texan.

A big loss.

I agree, someone who stood up and was counted.

She was great. Acerbic, insightful, down to earth, populist .

Here are a few quotes, both insightful and amusing, from:

http://womenshistory.about.com/od/qu...olly_ivins.htm

“As they say around the [Texas] Legislature, if you can't drink their whiskey, screw their women, take their money, and vote against 'em anyway, you don't belong in office.”

"The first rule of holes: when you're in one, stop digging."

[On George W. Bush (and George H. W. Bush)] "If you think his daddy had trouble with "the vision thing," wait till you meet this one."

"If he gets even more sedate, we will have to water him twice a week." [Molly Ivins about then-President Ronald Reagan]

"It is possible to read the history of this country as one long struggle to extend the liberties established in our Constitution to everyone in America."

from her last column, January 11, 2007: "We are the people who run this country. We are the deciders. And every single day, every single one of us needs to step outside and take some action to help stop this war. Raise hell. Think of something to make the ridiculous look ridiculous. Make our troops know we're for them and trying to get them out of there."

I didnt agree with her politically but 62 is too young to die. A shame really.


I wish just once Hollywood would treat cancer like they do AIDS and all their other causes.

I was thinking the same thing.

Honestly, didn't really know of her, but it is a shame to see some one pass so young. My neighbor died last year and he was 62. Very, very sad deal.

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him."
Leo Tolstoy, 1897

She was right about GW but she has no business spewing that German slop about Pat.

Don't worry, Boy. There's nothing to understand.
...and some bricks for me on my way to HELL!
