Molly Ivins 1944 - 2007



Damn. Damndamndamn.

Last week Art Buchwald's wit and voice were silenced; now the wry-est, wittiest, and simply the best observer of American politics has passed away.

Molly Ivins died today after a long fight against breast cancer.

Damn.

Link to the Houston Chronicle story here, though it's all over the MSMnet.

A tribute piece written by one of her editors, Anthony Zurcher, is here.
Her last published column was about Bush's planned surge in Iraq, and can be found here.

Damn.

There are a lot of good writers out there today, but none could make you laugh while getting you pissed off at the latest story of injustice/corruption/hypocrisy/stupidity involving our "leaders."

Damn.
