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.

The fact that Vioxx kills people is all President Bush's fault. Of course it is! How could I have been so dumb?

[upchuck]

I'd love to see Molly and Ann Coulter in a knock-down, drag-out debate. That would be worth the price of admission!

[Darkwolf377]

That's the best the plaigarizer Ivins could come up with--some company which discovered something under the CLinton Administration is trying to cover their butt? WOW, no company EVER tried to do THAT when them thar Dem-O-crats wuz in charge!

When she has no one to steal from she's real bad.

[F16Fighter]

Molly Ivins -- like so many other post-election hysterical liberal media -- are cartoon characters who desperately need distemper shots.

[concentric circles]

[Darkwolf377]

In an article trying to show how evil Republicans are she mentions one politician in a positive light: Charles Grassley, a Republican.

You should have a "Hit the sauce AFTER finishing the column" rule, Molls.

[endthematrix]

So is Molly not going to invest in Gore's sustainable development fund? Oh, I'm sure she'll kick herself good that it brings 10 percent over Social Security. But then again, the Republicans are the Party of evil corporation.

[lawgirl]

This is completely vile. No editor should post such a rant. I think we should start letter writing campaigns to all of these rags!

[FredZarguna]

This is the system that Molly Ivins stands for:

...company officials may have been aware of the dangers of Vioxx as long ago as 1996...

But, since the drug was actually taken off the market during Bush's tenure, it must be his fault. According to my precise calculations, Mr. Bush became President in January of 2001. Never mind. In the Ivins' world, causation is irrelevant. There are no logical connections, only political ones. And of course, like all liberals, Person Ivins considers herself an "advanced thinker."

Any forecast on when when we can get the stench of Person Ivins out of our noses?

[LiberalBassTurds]

Do you know how to cure a chicken-killin' dog?

Guess that's a fair concern for a party whose symbol should be some form of poultry.

[ladyinred]

I took a moment to write this loser and tell her over and over what a loser she and her party are. Ah, such satisfaction!

[John Lenin]

These people have totally lost their freakin minds. Looking back at election night I think "Dan Ratherisms" was a hint of things to come.

[Banjoguy]

I apologize in advance for slipping over to the ad hominem.

I can't shake my image of this overweight, unkempt female, with her over emphasized Texas drawl, standing in a social setting with an old fashioned glass half full of whiskey.

...seems she never gets tired of this kind of rhetoric. ...nasty in so many ways.

[PhilDragoo]

Merck killed Mary Jo Kopechne? Merck killed the 300,000 in Iraqi mass graves?

Molly Ivins' brain bifurcates between garbage and lies.

Molly Ivins--all of the smell and filth of a barnyard animal; none of the nutrition.

[Poodlebrain]

I'm confused about something. The "progressives" have complained that the prescription drug benefit bill that Bush signed makes drugs more costly for Medicare recipients. If that is true, then didn't Bush help save lives by making Vioxx harder to get for those at risk? I guess there is just no pleasing some people.

Will Vioxx be taken off the market in Canada too? Or will people be able to buy it for less by purchasing from Canadian sources?

[kingu]

Am I just too tired, or am I recalling correctly that it isn't just tradition that keeps White House hands out of the running of the FDA, but the law as well. Even if the administration knew about Vioxx, aren't they unable to do anything about it?

Or am I just channeling some long forgotten West Wing episode?

[Arizona Carolyn]

Uh... Viox came out more than four years ago and Bush wasn't President then... and I don't think the gov of Texas had any control over the FDA. What's Molly been smokin?

[wardaddy]

Does Ivin's drive a Subaru Forester and wear Timberland boots?

[CWOJackson]

"Do you know how to cure a chicken-killin' dog?"

No Molly, did your parents spank you?

[oldbrowser]

A new study from the Federal Drug Administration showed high doses of Vioxx triple the risk of heart attack and sudden cardiac death.


What constitutes "high" doses?

[Mike Fieschko]

I want to ask Molly, being too dumb to figger it out myself.

What's our oil doing under their sand?

Got an email address?

Four more years of tax cuts and dead terrorists.
