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?

This disgusting pig is the worst thing that Texas has ever produced. Ignore her and don't post her steaming piles of mental manure.

HA HA HA!

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. :))

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.

Ummm, under whose watch was Vioxx developed and approved?

FDA Approves Vioxx

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.

My daddy shot a dog that liked neck-snapping chickens... he'd use a blowtorch on Ms Ivins.

But in Texas, we've been losing elections to the demagogic triad of God, gays and guns long enough to be pretty cynical about how it works out.

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!

Molly is the female Michael Moore, pretending to be part of the very group she despises. Incidentally, I have been within 3 feet of this hippy sow more than once. She is nobody to talk about a sickening stench.

.....long enough for the stench to sicken everybody.

Helen Thomas is the only other female communist columnist that is as ugly as Ivins.

Her vicious columns about our president are course, rude and poorly written.

Molly tries to pass herself off as a good 'ol Texas boy with homespun tails flying from her typewriter; however, in reality she does the work of America's enemies.

where a corporation can knowingly kill people for profit

Yep, that's what every pharmaceutical company is trying to do, knowingly kill people, because that's really good for sales. Idiots.

Molly Ivins appeared here in my hometown. In the dictionary under "knee-jerk" is here picture. Every argument was based on emotion, not logic.

I don't always agree with Rush Limbaugh, but he always does his research at least. Usually, I find out, I'm wrong.

"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, including a memo apparently instructing its sales reps to "dodge" the question when doctors asked about the cardiac record of Vioxx."

1996? This clearly Clinton's fault.
