and left the terrain so much more beautiful for having done so.
She was our fierce yellow rose that punched like a fist out of the Kilimanjaro of atavistic shit that is Texas politics.
She was always ready to take the Truth upstairs and show it a helluva time.
She was right about Bush before anybody, but we didn't listen.
And other that whining selfishly about how much poorer I feel today than I did yesterday, there is nothing that I can say about Molly that she couldn't say better.
So let's let her do that.
Here's a Texas-sized helping of video that I happened across awhile ago over at Susie Bright's literotica shop: Molly Ivins and others explaining to us civilians the Swiftian bizarro alternate Universe created when they mixed "Texas Fundamentalist dumbassery" and "sodomy laws" down in the Lone Star State.
It is funny, bawdy, topical, civil libertarian, proudly Liberal, and not at all work-safe.
It other words, pure Molly.

...and the bastards of this administration endure in cheery good health. There is no divine justice from this perspective. We must make our own.
Let us strive to keep life worthwhile and fun as she did strive to keep us informed about a certain Dim Son. Rest in peace dear Molly.
and how did i know that i would find a tribute here to miss molly?
thanks much. we all have lost a dear friend.
yes, she would want nothing more than for folks to laugh along with her, but i have to say this is a very sad day. 62? life is never fair, but this is flat-out wrong.
Drift, what a shit you are.
Making me cry...again.
Hugs. :o)
I just saw this in "By the Bayou" blog. Friggin' hilarious. She was a lady who sure wasn't innersted in actin' like a lady at times. Man, she's going to be missed.
I would add:
She had a "built-in-crap-detector" that Ernest Hemingway would have sold his soul for.
I was chuckling at the absurdity of it, until the last 10 seconds of pure Molly, when I started screaming with laughter.
Damn.
I'm thankful for her wit and wisdom, but most of all the laughter and the sanity she brought with it. sighs*
Zappa's gone. Hunter's gone. Art's gone. Ivin's has just left the building, and the Going just keeps gettin' weirder and weirder.
The blogosphere seems to be incubating quite a cacophony of voices, but not all are just driftglass on the beach. Sometimes a real gem surfaces and makes ya think.
(yea, I'm blowin frikkin sunshine, but some analogies are too kewl)

Oh. My. Gawd.
Without Molly, who is going to help us understand the bizarre culture that is Texas? Or the insanity of "Shrub?" The video is priceless, thanks. I will always love Molly Ivins.
