The newspaper biz is demonstrating all the hallmarks of a declining business as it try to halt the slide in its subscrber base. Poor Molly (and other writers) has to become increasingly shrill just to gain the attention of an audience that has long since moved on to other media.
Someone give Molly Ivans a ticket to BIAP and Fallujah, so that she can do some on the ground investigating.
I did not see her fat tush in Iraq. All she knows is from the democRAT playbook. All BS!!!
It's a good imitation by Ivins, but Yoda is still way hotter.
Does anyone actually read her columns?
I apologize for a stupid fellow Texan. And Austin. We're not all like her estupidita.
I can understand your confusion though. I've often woken from vivid dreams where she was carried away by adherants of the TROP, assimilated, and made to wear a burkha, and then destroyed when someone lifted the veil.
It's a common dream. In this part of Texas, anyway.

It's just impossible for these people to say anything positive about the war on terror. It's impossible for them. I feel a little sorry for them - but not much.
"Yes, she's just the epitomy of civility, decorum, fairness, and class, isn't she?"
The absolute Emily Post of op-ed columnists, yep.
Don't feel you need to do that; each of us have our own crosses to bear. I had John Edwards and the stupid people of this state inflicted him on the whole nation.
Maxine Waters gave this as her speech on the House floor, today!!
Either Molly Ivans got this from Congresswoman-from-south-central-lost-angeles Maxine;
Or Maxine's staff must have taken the day off and gave her a newspaper to look through for her speech.
Or the daily DNC talking points?
She doesn't speak for the majority of Texans, but she's got a column, and a loud, fingernails-on-chalkboard voice.

Molly Ivins writing in the 80's and early 90's practically begged for the creation of an analogue on the Right. That analogue eventually emerged and her name is Ann Coulter.
Ivins has been writing nasty little screeds and bitter ad hominem attacks against conservatives for as long as I can remember. Decline in civility? With her, the political discourse has NEVER been civil and its ALWAYS personal. She's just a nasty piece of work and always has been.
With that out of the way, on the substance of her article (such as it is), this is just another example of how the Left has been on the wrong side of history since, well, since forever.
Cold War redux man. It's almost too GD easy. I'm sure anyone with a modest amount of time and a subscription to Nexus could dig up all of Ivins nasty poison pen diatribes against Reagan's policies in conducting the Cold War.
Wrong then, wrong now.
There is zero point in having a debate with the Left. We inhabit different worlds.
I will see your "Austin" and lay "Chapel Hill" on the table. :-)
ROFLMAO!
That's a man, baby!
