"I think some people are making an effort to seem magnanimous, to prove some sort of point."

You mean like Frist, Hastert, Snowe, Collins, Chaffee, Specter and all those other spineless "Republicrats" who are (or were) so hellbent on making nice with the Dummicrats. Look what magnanimity got us in the last election.

They've been treating her for cancer, but what's really eating her from the inside is her terrible attitude.

[Texas_shutterbug]

I'm asking God for mercy, not what I deserve. :)

I can only do the same for others.

[Blue Jays]

If Molly Ivins deserves mercy somewhere along the path of life, then that is what she will receive. If she deserves something else, then that is what she will receive. As mentioned, I hope she receives what she deserves, nothing more, nothing less.

Uhmmm....Molly Ivans is an enemy combatant at least. Did you feel bad about Sadamms iminent demise? I doubt it.

There are so many limp writsted hypocrits on this site. But go ahead. Feel good about yourself I dont give a rats ass.

[zbigreddogz]

I wish all columnists, regardless of how liberal they are, good health.

Except for maybe Hellan Thomas. She's gotta kick the bucket one of these days pretty soon anyway. :)-

(sorry, couldn't resist)

Well said. An excellent summation.

[Melas]

I cried when my pet died. Does that count?

No. Even sociopaths feel their own losses deeply.

Molly Ivens is wrong about most things, but I have never felt that she was unpatriotic. She is just a Maureen Dowd with a drawl. I can disagree with people and not wish them ill. The world is filled with people with whom I do not agree.It would get lonely if something bad happened to all of them.

[Texas_shutterbug]

Mercy, by it's very definition, is UNDESERVED.

[DainBramage]

You never felt she was unpatriotic? Gimmee a break! She doesnt see America like you see it at all!

The UN could kill half the American military and she would excuse it as just.

JMO but dont kid yourself that these people are harmless to our world. They have chance after chance after chance to see the light yet the whole time spred their anti American spew at anyone gullible enough to listen..

Im not saying rot in hell but it does not for one iota of a nano second bother me that she is on her last leg.

[Dick Vomer]

don't belittle us animals by comparing us to Molly what's her name.....

[mware]

I wish her a full recovery.

Cancer doesn't give a damn what your politics are.

[DCPatriot]

Wow! From monster to sociopath.

Isn't that special???

Something like that.

But this forum has many posters, many points of view. If some people want to rend their garments over Molly Ivins, that's fine.

[F.J. Mitchell]

ditto.

[Ninian Dryhope]

What she gets.
She and her writing are a cancer.

[Ninian Dryhope]

Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord.

[csvset]

..which she infuses with passion and wit.

Passionate as as any lefty, wit , I never saw any evidence of it.

[Jezebelle]

I despise her and don't feel particularly sorry for her, but I hope she recovers because the part of my conscience that says it's evil to wish pain and suffering on someone, or take delight in it or feel a sense of revenge or vindication from it, just for the words they've written won the moral struggle that went on in my mind as I read the story. :>
