I am so sick of this woman and her down-homey, hard-drinkin' (or used-to-be-hard-drinkin'), folksy, now-y'all-sit-down-and-I'll-tell y'all-a-story b.s. persona. She and Ann Richards should settle themselves down in a nice little ol' love-nest and stop bothering the rest of us folks right now, ya hear?
I bet if it were possible to compare the odds of an American getting killed by a negligent regulatory agency and rapacious corporate behavior versus an American getting killed by a terrorist, it would turn out we need to be a lot more scared of rank greed and its enablers than we do of terrorists.
This sort of reinforces our suspicion that they really do hate Bush more than Bin Ladin and see us conservatives as more dangerous than al-Q. I wish we could put a large chunk of the legacy media in prison. Where is the justice?
This disgusting pig is the worst thing that Texas has ever produced. Ignore her and don't post her steaming piles of mental manure.
I question her statistic about tripling the risk of heart attacks at high doses. Perhaps among those that already have heart problems. Overall I don't think it's anywhere near as dangerous as she makes out.
I would find the whole affair to be criminally negligent toward those who need Vioxx and can't get it because it has bad effects in heart patients, but I understand Merck is about to release a new medication that doesn't have this risk.
Oh... that means the evil Booosh pulled Vioxx so Merck can clean up on the new medication. I should've known.
M.I. is insane.
No. It wouldn't. It would be a massacre. It would be th 49rs in the '90 Super Bowl, Nebraska in the '96 Fiesta Bowl. It would be over very quickly.
Ivans is a bloviated, absurd monstrosity who spouts ridiculous and easy to refute nonsense because she knows she will never have to defend her positions.
Coulter would slice her, dice her, and turn her into a plate of julian fries.
Ivins is a mega-loser in all this. She's spent her career slamming the Bush's, and they have crushed her like the bug she is. :))
I'd love to see Molly writing for the Globe and Mail...Join the herd, Moll.
Over the next four years the liberal press will try to find anything that will stick to Bush and diminish his presidency. Get used to it.
They've been trying for almost 15 years now and they haven't managed it yet. If they think they can make the National Guard thing walk and talk again I'm going to.... I'm going to... I don't know what I'm going to do.
Molly is irrelevant.

Dateline: 05/27/99
Vioxx(R) (rofecoxib), which is manufactured by Merck & Co., has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for relief of the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis, the management of acute pain in adults, and treatment of menstrual pain...................
That's the system George W. Bush stands for: where a corporation can knowingly kill people for profit and, when it finally comes out, everyone knows the penalties will be so light the company doesn't even lose a tenth of its worth. Hey, just a little bump in the road.
Merk was trading at $45 per share before this news hit, now it is at $26, a bit more than "a tenth of its worth". And who knows how low it will go, and how rich the trial lawyers will get off of this.
If I was a conspiracy nut, I would say the klintoon gang approved Vioxx, knowing the risks, so that later his trial lawyer buddies could sue for billions, and then make massive donations to the DNC. But if I thought like that, I guess I should go register over at DU.
....hmmmm, wonder if this 'trick' would work for
pro-abortionists....you know, take one of the babies they kill and.....
My daddy shot a dog that liked neck-snapping chickens... he'd use a blowtorch on Ms Ivins.
It would be a battle of wits and poor unhinged Molly would not be armed. Ann would mop the floor with her. She is one formidable woman.
The bats and the bums would leave. She would ruin the neighborhood!
Hey Molly, get a clue. You and the dumbocRAT party has been losing elections in Texas, because we are sick and tired of the platform of your party.
The Wall Street Journal followed the other fork, finding internal memos from Merck showing that company officials may have been aware of the dangers of Vioxx as long ago as 1996,
PSSSSTTT.. Hey Molly. If you would remember history, slick willie (your hero) was the president in 1996. REMEMBER?????? The stench of your editorials have affected your memory. BTW Molly, see my tag line.
She's absolutely right in one respect.
That column stunk so bad that I'll never read anything from Molly Ivins again!
