There’s no way I can do justice to Molly Ivins’ passing. As a bold, large, sassy, hilarious woman who was one of the most insightful political commentators in the country, she was one of my heros. She was one of those people who just by being herself gave other people permission to be themselves.
She dubbed Bush “dubya” and “shrub,” she wrote about the hilarious and horrible happenings on the floor of the Texas “lege.”
Go out and buy one of her collections of columns and just savor every word.
