Molly Ivins, RIP
Molly Ivins was not my type: forgetting our huge political differences, I never enjoyed that Texas ‘cornpone’ populism so popular with Ivin and Jim Hightower. Nevertheless, she had a long history with progressive Texas politics, and I find myself quite saddened to learn that she has succumbed to cancer after a fierce battle.
Ivins was only 62, and she left behind a solid journalistic legacy, most prominently with the Texas Observer. May she rest in peace…
