Molly Ivins cancer 'back with a vengeance'

She has repeatedly made it obvious she wishes death on W.

The difference between them is W is probably praying for her and she prays for his death.

[Howlin]

They don't really wish her harm, but they aren't going to be phony and pretend to care either.

Then what is the point of posting on this thread?

[DainBramage]

I almost feel sorry for the cancer itself. Having to spread throughout her must be unbearable even for cancer.

[veronica]

To comment.

...especially one where Hillary can hire goons to track us down and make us pay for all the nasty things we've said about her.

I'm pretty sure I'd rather die than live in a world Hillary!™ controls.

[HoosierFather]

Wow!!! Are you really serious? This person with a life, family, and friends is worse than the cancer that ravages her body.

Don't ever feel sorry for cancer! You truly have misspelled your forum moniker....

[HoosierFather]

Moniker means name or nickname for people like you in Rio Linda!

I often think about my late parents...and wonder what they would say if they were to come back and find out Ronald Reagan became president of the US...the Soviet Union collapsed without a shot fired...you can't smoke in restaurants...cars cost more than houses used to be.

They would both keel over with heart attacks. ;^)

Kharma? Cancer? No. I have, and I'm sure you have also, known too many good, kind, wonderful people who have been struck down with this dread disease.

Ms Ivins' soul was eaten up with her very personal hatred of the Bush family long before the cancer began. That's another subject.

Mine are still alive. They are not happy with the current situation.

At this point they feel that they should be in their twilight years, not in the Twilight Zone...

For heaven's sake no I don't think that Molly Ivins is experiencing breast cancer because she's liberal. How insane would that be? Cancer is indifferent. Her recovery or lack thereof could be determined by her attitude about whether or not she thinks life's worth living.

[highlander_UW]

I'm with your sentiments.

[Wolfstar]

I hope she gets well...

It's clear from the article that she is dying. So are we all, although most of us don't yet have a disease or condition that makes death imminent -- at least not insofar as we know.

Ms. Ivins has been a political opponent, and a particularly strident one. However, there is far more to life than politics, and death sure as heck doesn't give a damn what politics we practice.

So I hope Ms. Irvins' final time on earth is peaceful, as pain-free as the docs can make her, and filled with the love of those closest to her.

[DCPatriot]

Amen!

[Loud Mime]

Is Mollie religious? Does anybody know?

[spectre]

Veronica, my stomach churns reading some of these nasty replies.

This is a case where people should say NOTHING AT ALL, if they can't be compassionate. I am appalled and embarrassed these hateful comments are not deleted.

As a BC survivor, (so far) I can say that Molly, in spite of my disrespect for her venomous politic opinions, is at this moment..a "sister" who is fighting breast cancer.

God Bless Her.. sw

[woofie]

She is a member of the Church of the Lib

[Wolfstar]

Is Mollie religious?

I haven't got a clue, nor would it make the slightest difference to me.

[Howlin]

I think it's just to say something nasty about her, which, in my mind, at least, is a pretty sick thing to do.

[Howlin]

What you said.
