Molly Ivins, RIP

[wombat_socho]

To be honest, I'm not going to miss her much. When it comes to her achievements as a writer and journalist, I'll remember her best for doing a half-ass job of plagiarizing Florence King and being Patient Zero in the current outbreak of Bush Derangement Syndrome. Like Maureen Dowd, she apparently felt that sophomoric humor aimed at one's political opponents was the height of wit, but unlike Dowd she at least had the grace not to whine about her spinsterhood. God rest ye, Molly.
