A voice that will be sadly missed

Meryl:
Here is a great link from the Texas Observer that has other links to her more recent columns: Molly Ivins

And an obit from Seattlepi.com: Syndicated columnist Molly Ivins dies

A couple of lively gals! Doubt we'll see the likes of them again.  :'(

Those were the last of the old time yellow dog Democrats, SOOOOOO incredibly sorry to see them go.   :(

I will never, EVER forget Ann Richards' famous line about the elder Bush, delivered with that wonderful Texas twang in her voice:

"Pore George. He cain't help it. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth!"

 ;D

Meryl:
Saw another nice tribute here at Slate.com today.

ednbarby:
Very nice one.  Thanks for posting that, Meryl.  I especially like this:

"Iraq is clearly hubris carried to the point of insanity—it's damn hard to convince people you're killing them for their own good."

And I remember reading that piece about Nixon out loud to my husband and him about choking with laughter at a couple of her barbs of him and the media.

Definitely a sad time for liberals (and victims of neo-conservatism) everywhere.  As the saying goes, a great light has gone out.
