You don't know who Molly Ivins is?
Actually, I do. Should have put a sarcasm tag on my question. Saw her a few days ago on C-Span. Scary!
My sympathies. I figured you did know. I just couldn't resist slamming her. I saw that same C-Span show. She looks so tired, sad, and disheartened.
I saw this explanation of who Molly Ivins is by Jonah Goldberg.
" 'I will not support Hillary Clinton for president,' wrote Molly Ivins, the voice of conventional thinking on the left."

I always thought of her as being a way-out-there extremist left-wing moonbat. But Jonah has it right, she is the voice of conventional thinking on the left.
