I toight the Washington Post’s obit was quite good, and those in the Texas press, plus the cartoons, were fine. See the Texas Observer’s memorial issue for more great stuff about Molly, including some from memberfs of the MSM.
I disagreed with Molly Ivins on every subject possible. But she was a lady and a true Texan. With the loss of Molly and Ann Richards Texas has lost two great souls. We will miss them.
What would your kind know about real ladies ? Putas, yes, ladies, no.
If you disagreed with Molly on every subject your the stupidest friggin moron in TexASS.
