Molly Ivins

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.
Molly was one of my few heroes among top tier "mainstream" newspaper columnists. No matter where she was based, she wrote like a journalist for an alternative newspaper. Many big name columnists are handicapped by privileged childhoods & elite educations. Molly did her best to overcome hers. She was a package of whup ass.
