I loved Molly Ivins. Her wry wit was so plain spoken and right to the point. I saw her interviewed once on PBS. Fantastic.

AND, I want to add, I really hope that play makes it to Seattle. I desperately want to see it.

I also cried when she died.

One of my dad’s uber-conservative redneck co-workers gave him a copy of “Molly Ivins Can’t Say That Can She?” as a not so veiled insult. He loved it, and passed it on to me. I bought all the rest of her books and we traded them back and forth.

She was a huge inspiration, and the reason I haven’t given up on my dad through his latest redneck bullshit spouting phase. The scary thing is, he’s still more liberal than most of his co-workers.

@Yvan: Me too. Losing her AND Ann Richards in only a couple months was just BRUTAL.

There’s a brief mention at the end of that article about a one-woman show to star Holland Taylor as Ann Richards, which I would LOVE. If there is a heaven, it includes me, Molly and Ann sitting around eating cake.

@ShinyObjects – Yes, and, my personal favorite, after W’s big post-9/11 “Brave New World / we need a Department of Homeland Security” spiel her response was, “That speech probably sounded better in the original German.”

I cried when she died.

Didn’t she also say, of W, “He was born on third base and thought he hit a triple.”?
Love her!
