Watched the #Mollyivins documentary and I can't get over the filmmakers calling #BillClinton a progressive. Plus, they didn't mention the other progressive rags she wrote for the last several years of her life

“I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag.” (Molly Ivins)

The late great #MollyIvins was the person who coined the phrase, "It sounded better in the original German" in 1992 about Pat Buchanan's #Republican Convention speech. Please credit her.

"No wonder Trump fired the Labor Statistics boss: math makes his head hurt. #MollyIvins 's quote about Dan Quayle applies equally well to Donald Trump: 'If you put that man’s brain in a bumblebee, it would fly backwards.'"

Finally got around to watching Raise Hell: the Life and Times of Molly Ivins.
Though I still feel terrible about what is happening in the USA, I am damned lucky to have shared some of my time on Earth with Ivins and her writing.

“One function of the income gap is that the people at the top of the heap have a hard time even seeing those at the bottom. They practically need a telescope. The pharaohs of ancient Egypt probably didn't waste a lot of time thinking about the people who build their pyramids, either.” ― Molly Ivins

Just finished watching Raise Hell: The Life and Times of #MollyIvins her biography. Learned a lot about how Bush “shrub” introduced Texas style politics that metastasized into our national politics and use of irrational fear for manipulating judgement.

Molly Ivins (1944–2007)
Molly Ivins (1944–2007) used sharp wit and fearless journalism to hold the powerful accountable. A Texas truth-teller, she made politics engaging and fought for justice with humor and insight. Her words still cut through the noise. #WomensHistory #MollyIvins

Molly Ivins always reminded us that politics isn’t a spectator sport and that democracy isn’t something we watch—it’s something we do. So SPEAK UP • SHOW UP & DO SOMETHING! If Molly were here, she'd sure as hell have something to say. And so should we.

As the late, great #MollyIvins said of Buchanan’s ‘92 RNC convention speech … “probably sounded better in its original German”

#MollyIvins Kaye Northcott recalled that when she came to her job interview , she brought a case of beer. She got the job.
Ivins who’s frequently quoted for such lines as her description of Patrick Buchanan’s “culture war” speech at RNC in 1992: “It probably sounded better in the original German.”

#MollyIvins: Ivins amused or enraged her fellow Texans for decades with comments like this:
“Texas has always been the National Laboratory for bad government. I mean, if you want to see a bad idea tried, we’ve tried it.”
