Molly Ivins dies

Sadly, Molly Ivins died today.

She was a great woman who spoke truth to power. Powerful, punchy political writing that always cut through the bull. There's so much false civility today - an unwillingness to call the President a liar and a tyrant. Even Patrick Leahy made it sound like the President is good when he turns over documents about the secret wiretapping program after a month of stalling.

Molly Ivins called it like she saw it. Her voice of truth will be sorely missed. We needed her now more than ever.
