"A few months ago, a student at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth tried to check out a copy of Mao's Little Red Book and wound up being interviewed by two feds"

Or not.

And speaking of ludicrous mistakes - how's that size 14 taste, Miss Piggy?

Oh, yeah - I almost forgot - Bush sucks, Bush lied and Bush is corrupt™

Only the Kennedys and Clintons are above the law.

Fake But Accurate.

"A few months ago, a student at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth tried to check out a copy of Mao's Little Red Book and wound up being interviewed by two feds"

It's gotta be true. She read it on the internet.

Molly Ivins is not the brightest bulb in the box.

[DoughtyOne]

There's at least one thing in Molly's favor. She's too stupid to experience the pain of knowing how stupid she is.

[DoughtyOne]

Here Molly. I hope this helps.

Molly, You ignorant slut:
That kid has admitted it was all a complete lie.

I think that post Katrina most of these libs are wishing for another terrorist strike on America so they can declare that it was the Bush administrations fault and he didn`t protect us.

Too bad for them we have a President that is working night and day to protect us,unlike Clinton who never let security get in the way of "other" priorities.
Darn him,he is doing his job and getting in the way of the rats political plans.

Sorry, I'm from Austin, TX. The writer is Molly Ivins - I'm sorry I can't believe anything she says. Too many years of hysterical hysteria.

Recent FReeper post shows "Little Red Book" boy - - liar. Then there's the 'Omission Commission' grades - - balderdash. More piffle.

I'm glad your amused cause she is only a short laugh but amusing. Thanks for the laugh.

[PeaceBeWithYou]

A few years ago Molly broke into the national consciousness because she was a "sassy southern woman who called 'em like she saw 'em" and was a liberal. Interviewed on TV, profiled in magazines.

Now she shows up rarely on national TV and looks completely confused, a grinning old fool who doesn't know that everyone else in the room thinks she's been drinking. Her columns are basically filler--no one talks about them, she doesn't break stories, she simply coughs up the accepted liberal wisdom a week later, adding to the pure numbers of columnists who write about certain articles so boobs on TV can say "the story is the subject of columns all over the country" or whatever. She seems to think she is one of the top columnists, a real sparkplug, but she's a has-been who never was.

She's just filler. So is what's between her ears.

"...how's that size 14 taste..."

She wishes her *dress* size was only a 14...

I stopped reading Molly about 15 years ago. She's relentlessly stupid and inaccurate. As you've demonstrated.

Being a resident of the great state of Massachusetts I learned long ago that the law only applies when the coppers are present.

I have a collection of seditious literature and various field expedients that would get me incarcerated in a second, every one purchased second hand at flea markets, yard sales and second hand sources.

I have CIA and MI field expedients published for overseas distribution to operatives in various countries, assassination manuals, 'device' manufacture from household goods and many other documents that would get me an(other) FBI interview in a second.

Thank goodness it wasn't a copy of Catcher in the Rye.

[ozzymandus]

I notice that, unlike most columnists, molly doesn't print her e-mail address at the end of her columns. Wonder why that is? (Sarcasm)
A leftie librarian once told me molly was a "genius". How do these people get on the government payroll?

[lawdude]

Molly is the reason the rest of the bulbs in the string don't light up!

You can click on "About Knight-Ridder" at the bottom of the article's page.
Then click "Contact Us" at the top of that next page.
Then select "Contact a Newspaper"
The rest should be fairly obvious...

I emailed the following:

It seems like you owe your readers a correction as the student at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, who said he tried to check out a copy of Mao's Little Red Book and wound up being interviewed by two feds, has admitted making up the entire story.
I'm always disappointed to find inaccurate and/or unverified stories being used to support editiorial opinions.
Hopefully, your news organization will do more fact checking in the future before you allow your opinion columns to be published.
I expect that you will issue a correction, won't you?
Thanks for listening.

Molly Ivins...

[JustAnotherOkie]

Another piece of liberal propaganda. A closer analysis shows that this student had numerous contacts outside the country. That is what was really being investigated.
