Goodbye Molly Ivins
About War-
“We are the people who run this country. We are the deciders. And every single day, every single one of us needs to step outside and take some action to help stop this war. We need people in the streets, banging pots and pans and demanding, ’Stop it, now!”’
About Power-
“The trouble with blaming powerless people is that although it’s not nearly as scary as blaming the powerful, it does miss the point. Poor people do not shut down factories ... Poor people didn’t decide to use ’contract employees’ because they cost less and don’t get any benefits.”
About Bush-
"Shrub." (Also the title of a book I want to pick up, she also co-authored Bushwhacked)
About Nixon-
"Even I felt sorry for Richard Nixon when he left; there’s nothing you can do about being born liberal - fish gotta swim and hearts gotta bleed."
About Ivins from Clinton-
"She was good when she praised me and she was painfully good when she criticized me."
