Someone mentioned that they missed Molly Ivins. So I found this.....

It's from 2004 and it's kind of long but you'll be amazed by the parallels to today's situation. We lost a treasure with Molly. She spoke truth to power and did it with a sense of humor that only a Texas girl can. RIP Molly. I sure miss ya.

3. There are BookTV segments up at CSPAN, too.

The first few are about her but if you scroll down and page over, there's Molly. :)

8. Thanks for posting this.

I only wish she'd lived to see Bugman DeLay declared guilty and facing jail time.

9. She'd have loved that. I'd also like to hear what she'd say about our current President...

and today's Republicans. I miss Molly telling it like it is. We need her now more than ever.
