The last Liberal in Texas
Okay, maybe it only seems that way from my Left Coast vantage point,
but I can't help mourning the loss of Molly Ivins both as a rare
Liberal who was willing and able to speak truth to power, and as a
rare wit who was both disarming and well armed. Tributes compare her
to Mark Twain, which to my mind shows respect for Twain. I only got
to know her through her columns and her books and a few of her TV
appearances, but she's one of the few famous people I'd like to have
spent an evening listening to. Her life was both well spent and way
too short.
