Dear Molly: I miss you!

[Tennessee Gal]

Here are some Molly quotes:

** Say, here's an item: A group of right-wing journalists famed for their impartiality has set themselves up as the Patriotism Police. No less distinguished a crowd than Rush Limbaugh, Matt Drudge, The New York Post editorial page and the Fox News Channel -- quite a bunch of Pulitzer winners there -- are now passing judgment on whether media outlets that do actual reporting are sufficiently one-sided for their taste.

** I have been attacked by Rush Limbaugh on the air, an experience somewhat akin to being gummed by a newt. It doesn't actually hurt, but it leaves you with slimy stuff on your ankle.

** If he gets even more sedate, we will have to water him twice a week. (Molly Ivins about then-President Ronald Reagan)

** If ignorance ever goes to $40 a barrel, I want drillin' rights on that man's head. (Molly Ivins on Dick Armey)

** Next time I tell you someone from Texas should not be president of the United States, please pay attention.”

** Everyone knows the man has no clue, but no one there has the courage to say it. I mean, good gawd, the man is as he always has been: barely adequate. (on George W. Bush)

** Let me say for the umpteenth time, George W. is not a stupid man. The IQ of his gut, however, is open to debate. In Texas, his gut led him to believe the death penalty has a deterrent effect, even though he acknowledged there was no evidence to support his gut's feeling. When his gut, or something, causes him to announce that he does not believe in global warming -- as though it were a theological proposition -- we once again find his gut ruling that evidence is irrelevant. In my opinion, Bush's gut should not be entrusted with making peace in the Middle East.

** Last week, I began a sentence by saying, "If Bush had any imagination ..." and then I hit myself. Silly me.

** (On then-candidate George W. Bush, in a 2000 book on his "short but happy political life") If, at the end of this short book, you find W. Bush's political resume a little light, don't blame us. There's really not much there. We have been looking for six years.

** (On George W. Bush and George H. W. Bush) If you think his daddy had trouble with "the vision thing," wait till you meet this one.

** (On then-President George H. W. Bush) Personally, I think he's further evidence that the Great Scriptwriter in the sky has an overdeveloped sense of irony.

1. Rest in peace, Molly. We won't forget you.

You made us laugh and we really needed it.

Added on Edit: This is one of my alltime favorite Molly lines: "If ignorance ever goes to $40 a barrel, I want drillin' rights on that man's head."

Still good for :rofl:

4. Every time I see GW step in it, I can envision Molly and Ann

Richards rolling on a cloud, laughing their heads off at his dilemma. Can't you just imagine the trouble that pair could cause? Go Girls!

[Tennessee Gal]

5. The two of them together for eternity!

I love it!
