Truth to Power

Molly Ivins, RIP

Syndicated columnist Molly Ivins dies at 62

 AUSTIN, Texas – Best-selling author and columnist Molly Ivins, the sharp-witted liberal who skewered the political establishment and referred to President Bush as “Shrub,” died Wednesday after a long battle with breast cancer. She was 62.

Sad day when one of the good ones goes, isn’t it? TTP has featured Ivins work frequently, her deft skewering of the pompous asses in power was always welcome.
