Syndicated columnist Molly Ivins dies at 62


First off, I hate to have to post this. I loved Molly very much and always hoped to meet her.

But, this is all they could say about her? WTF? Molly was one of the bright lights of journalism. She might have, had she been listened to, prevented Bush from fucking up the world and particularly the US. She deserves more than a couple sentences.

The world of journalism is less because Molly is gone.

I am very saddened by this. She had guts and brains and integrity. A bright light, she was.

I read of deaths every day, but its just sad and not a tragedy. Losing Molly is tragic.

She amazed me at her turn of a phrase or slicing through a complicated idea with extremely simple words, down-to-earth words that brought everything into focus.
