The libs are probably saying three "Hail Molly's" over this article oozing with elitist pap.

MoooooooOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo.

Just skip to the last paragraph and save your time for more important things.

would it be bad manners to ZOT! a column from a nationally syndicated journalist?

It must create some kind of creative dissonance in this hack writer to realize she makes a living off of a man she can only trash and trash and trash and trash week after week after week after week....

"Bush had said to him, "I don't understand how poor people think," and had described himself as a "white Republican guy who doesn't get it, but I'd like to."


I have a hard time believing GW would say something like that. He's not that stupid.

It seems like an outright lie, or at the least, a distortion.

Very interesting article, but she forgets the fact that the vast majority of successful people did NOT inherit their wealth.

I do have to agree w/ Molly Ivans that most people who are born into vast wealth have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what it's like to be poor (or even middle class). They have no clue. None. And I would surmise that in this regard she might be right about the president.

But whatever my objections w/ President Bush's policies and whatever advantages he might have been born with, I do have to say he handled the post-9/11 days admirably and he seems to actually have a soul, unlike the former occupant of the White House.

>>>>>>>>>>>>Welfare, Medicare, Social Security, food stamps -- horrors, they breed dependency.

Dependency will be the least these programs breed when they exhaust our nation's ability to pay for them by c. 2030. The next Great American Depression will result from the failure of 20th Century American Democratic Socialism. This is why The Prescription Drug Panderation Act was a terrible piece of destructive legislation.

To have a Texas accent in the East in those days was to have 20 points automatically deducted from your estimated IQ.

Times have sure changed. Now it's 40 points.

As a Texas i am ashamed molly ivans is from here.
And she certainly doesnt speak for me, or anyone i know.
In fact, considering Bush carried Texas by a large margin in 2000, she pretty much speaks only for her own retarded fatass.

Ever get the idea that if you put Molly, Helen Thomas and Josef Stalin in a room together, you'd be able to tell Stalin apart from the others by the facts that

A) Stalin would be the most politically conservative of the three, and

B) He'd also be the least physically repugnant?

Molly is the Texan answer to Maureen Dowd; full of trite little quips which she uses to show how "clever" she is, but which really do nothing to prove any points she's trying to make, and instead simply identify her as bitter and irrelevant. Just another leftist who can't come to grips with the fact someone she sees as her intellectual inferior is now President of the United States. I can't decide if this would be funny were it not so sad, or sad if it weren't so funny.

Budget cuts? How come spending is at record levels?

I'm a pretty normal guy. Come from a pretty normal family. Have pretty regular friends. We all do have jobs and are God-fearing, though.

Anyway, we connect well with GW>

Ivins just published a column in the Fort Worth Star Telegram stating that she thinks Howard Dean is "a winner" and will win the 2004 election. She also stated that Dennis Kucinich is "noble".

Here's the letter I sent in to them about her column.

"Dear Star Telegram:

If Molly Ivins thinks Howard Dean is a "winner" and that Dennis Kucinich is "noble", she's dumber than I thought and I already thought she was pretty damn dumb.

Dean is a mean, nasty piece of work and Kucinich is a weirdo fruitcake and we all know what everyone really thinks of fruitcakes don't we? That's why they're collecting dust in the back of our closets.

Her beliefs and bizarre statements are further proof that the paranoid, extreme left wing Democrats are detached from reality."

That ought to fix em. I know they publish Ivins drivel just to aggravate me personally.

[Kaslin]

All I had to see was the source and of course Molly Ivins to scroll by the article

[smiley]

Molly, Molly, Molly....your acid tongue and vicious attitude are making you look really, really, really, really old......

[Steel Wolf]

Once again, Bush is painted as an ignorant rube, yet no explination is given as to why said rube continues to outwit the smartest Democrats around.

Ol' Molly baby just doesn't get it. Another lib getting shot in the foot.
