A voice that will be sadly missed
Jeff Wrangler:
Friends, I heard on the NBC network evening news this evening that Texas Monthly columnist Molly Ivins has died of breast cancer at age 62.
She was known for her unabashed liberalism, biting wit, and fearless skewering of the high and the mighty--including a certain United States President from Texas whom she called "Shrub."
Her voice will be sadly missed. :'(
Meryl:
I saw that with great sadness, too, Jeff. I loved listening to Molly's witty and on-target observations about the pretentious and the hypocritical. With both her and Ann Richards gone, the world is a greyer place. But Heaven just got a bit livelier. ;)

Tell you what, Meryl, late last night I found myself thinkin', "Oooeee, sure would have been some high class entertainment to have gone drinkin' with Molly Ivins and Ann Richards together!" ;D
A couple of lively gals! Doubt we'll see the likes of them again. :'(

She and Maureen Dowd were/are both good at using humor to inform, to get a point across. I think Molly referred to Bush as the Shrub. Loved her swipes at the current administration. I had bought a few of Molly's books in the 1990's.
I missed her weekly columns and had read she was sick. So sorry for her untimely death as we need her now more then ever. RIP
