Thanks so kindly and I'm honored. <BR/>My dad is the person who introduced me to her when I was in high school. He would read her columns and leave the paper open to her column on purpose so I would peruse them while eating my breakfast before school. He and I have spent countless hours discussing her columns, and I will so miss her and those discussions now. May she rest in peace, and may a new Molly Ivins replace her needed voice.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08472987991553964064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11704331.post-1170570044090979052007-02-04T00:20:00.000-06:002007-02-04T00:20:00.000-06:00thank you for the Molly story...gosh I can 't beli...thank you for the Molly story...gosh I can 't believe you met her...I loved hearing about her- the person...and she will be missed so much..we need to honor her in what and HOW we write...thank you....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11704331.post-1170558500004870722007-02-03T21:08:00.000-06:002007-02-03T21:08:00.000-06:00Senator Joe Biden made tthe remark that Barack Oba...<I>Senator Joe Biden made tthe remark that Barack Obama, was an intelligent black person</I><BR/><BR/>If he only said that, there wouldn't be a problem.
