Bush........ .... Molly Ivins was a Texas original, Bush said in a statement. 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.
Perry....... ........ Texas Gov. Rick Perry, whom Ivins had playfully called Governor Goodhair, praised Ivins for her wit and insight. Molly Ivins clever and colorful perspectives on people and politics gained her national acclaim and admiration that crossed party lines, Perry said in a statement.
I guess not. This is pretty sad really!
