Molly Ivins facing third round of cancer

American-Statesman ^ | January 27, 2006

There is a new drug for breast cancer that I know has been given to some patients who have not been declared cancer free after previous treatments. The drug is very strong, but has a much higher cure rate. Someone was just telling me that her doctor had put her back in treatment.

[BigCinBigD]

I'll try not to take that personally. ;)
As far as Molly's condition go's. I hope she does not suffer.

[My2Cents]

Correct. I prefer that she regain her health so we can slap her around on her political views for years to come. She and people like her keep the Democrats in the minority.

[My2Cents]

LOL

Unfortunately, Linda, there will always be FReepers who will embarrass us and post something that will be C&P'd to liberal sites to prove what despicable people conservatives are.

[IGOTMINE]

Nope. I'm a lost cause when it comes to Molly Ivins.

[AGreatPer]

I saw her on C-Spam this morning. I don't like her politics but will give her credit that she is smart and makes very thoughtful opinions. I wish her well fighting the C.

She is really against Hillary. I like that.

I never paid attention to her before. Smart woman. I respect that.

[Tamar1973]

Here's hoping Ms. Ivins lives to be 100 years old.

Amen. Otherwise, I might have to find another source for TP.

I'm praying for a good outcome for her, though I disagree with her vehemently on just about everything!

[squarebarb]

I have dear ones who have had this dreadful disease.

Prayers for you Molly, wishing you health and strength.

[kenth]

Prayers for Ms. Ivans.

It would be a lot easier to wish Ivins well if she herself had a smidgeon of understanding and thanks for George Bush's successes in freeing millions of mideast women who previously had been shackled by medieval Islamic customs. Every single one of her columns is a rant against the Bush admin for some horrible thing they did to the world. One might think that any responsible journalist would at least acknowledge the good that Bush has done for millions of Muslim women.

That is why though I don't wish death on her, it's real hard to shed tears for a hardcore socialist like Ivins who has done so much harm over the years with her asinine leftist rantings. She's spread a lot of socialist poison. Excuse me for my cold heartedness.

[agooga]

My most sincere best wishes for her full recovery.

I hate cancer FAR MORE than any American political adversary.

Please, be strong and beat this, Molly!

"Thus proving four out of five on FR are good people. :)"

Or at least vastly more charitable than their counterparts on liberal forums.

[PilloryHillary]

Sorry to hear about this. Prayers for Ms. Ivin's health and recovery. I hope that if somebody doesn't have something nice to say in this thread, that they NOT POST ANYTHING and keep it to themselves. Let's not act like the people over at the DUmster.

[MayflowerMadam]

Maybe the chemo treatments will clear her mind.

[eyespysomething]

Cancer is an awful thing. I wish her the best of luck fighting it, and hope she continues to write her tired leftist screed so it can continue to be slayed in the arena of ideas.

[WOSG]

"Unlike some other liberal women, she hasn't wished disease on conservatives so I hope her suffering is minimal."

Actually, Ivins is a nasty piece of work when she wants to be. When John Connally died, here column started something like "You know you're not supposed to speak ill of the recently deceased, but someone has speak the truth ..." or words to that effect, and then she ranted about how bad a man he was. Which he wasn't, but then Molly's never held back in hating non-liberals when it suited her.

[JRochelle]

Get well Molly!

We need her around in 2008 to help tear Hillary down and prop up some far-left liberal.
