Molly Ivins RIP

The venerable and highly entertaining political commentator/spitfire Molly Ivins passed away yesterday. She will be missed...even by frequent target George ("Shrub") Bush who said:

"I respected her convictions, her passionate belief in the power of words, and her ability to turn a phrase. She fought her illness with that same passion. Her quick wit and commitment to her beliefs will be missed."

Thanks Melinda.
