Molly Ivins Dies

Ode to Molly Ivins
Mad Kane
Alas, the magnificent Molly Ivins has died. To call her a great wit and outstanding journalist would be an understatement.
Back when George Dubya Bush was Governor of Texas, way before anyone else had a clue as to Bush’s many failings and failures, Ms. Ivins was exposing them, both in her columns and in a short, but informative, book entitled Shrub.
Ivins had countless fans, of course, but it’s clear that not enough people were paying attention to her Bush coverage. For had they heeded her warnings, George W. Bush would never have been able to (with the help of the U.S. Supreme Court) steal Election 2000.
I’m going to end this with a limerick, although I suppose some people might disapprove. I’d like to think Ms. Ivins would chuckle at the idea of a limerick obit, for nobody had a greater sense of humor than Molly Ivins.
