By E.J. Dionne, Jr. — Molly Ivins, who died at the end of January from cancer, broke all the rules of polite commentary while gleefully sticking it to the oppressors of the underdogs.
|
|
By Molly Ivins — The columnist warns against dancing a jig on the coffin of the Republican Party.
|
|
Bush is going to spend the next few weeks boasting about his success with the economy—i.e. transferring massive amounts of wealth from the poor and middle class to America’s super-rich.
|
|
By Molly Ivins — I’m sorry to say it, but even with the Iraq war, Katrina, the disgust over Foleygate and Abramoff, the Democrats could still end up the minority party after Nov. 7.
|
|
By Molly Ivins — Of course Iraq is like Vietnam. The only meaningful difference is that we haven’t yet lost 57,000 American lives.
|
|
By Molly Ivins — The way he deals with North Korea’s paranoid leader, you’d think President Bush never learned not to antagonize the crazy neighborhood bully.
|
|
By Molly Ivins — The fact that Henry Kissinger is ascendant in the Bush administration is easily the most vile revelation to surface in Bob Woodward’s new book.
|
|
By Molly Ivins — Between an unabashedly clueless Kinky Friedman and Rick “The Coiffure” Perry, the Texas governor’s race is screaming for a dark-horse candidate.
|
|
The Texas columnist sounds off on the National Intelligence Estimate, corruption in the Education Dept. and Bush’s view of the “comma” in Iraq.
|
|
By Molly Ivins — The Rev. Louis Sheldon of the Traditional Values Coalition told Sen. John McCain that he can forget about the evangelical Christian vote if he doesn’t support Bush’s torture bill. I’d like to see an evangelical vote on that one.
|
|
By Molly Ivins — During his recent press conference, President Bush continued to use the oldest tactic of a verbal bully: saying the same thing louder, as though that makes it true.
|
|
By Molly Ivins — Today’s antiwar crowd can take a lesson from the New Age cowboys who steer their steer by persuasion and suggestion, rather than macho eruptions of testosterone.
|
|
By Molly Ivins — Honestly, people, haven’t you figured out what this is all about yet? Money. The conservatives are in a snit about “liberal courts” because of money.
|
|
By Molly Ivins — If you listen to Dick Cheney, Bin Laden & Co. were staying up late to hear the Lamont-Lieberman election returns from Darien, Conn.
|
|
By Molly Ivins — “The administration has put itself in the position of the Boy Who Cried Wolf. If, God forbid, a serious terrorist conspiracy is uncovered, there will be a tendency to dismiss it in a backlash to these over-hyped ‘plots.’ ”
|
|
By Molly Ivins — The press is under attack by the administration, but does the Washington corps of reporters fight back? No, instead it falls all over itself trying to play courtier to George W. Bush.
|
|
By Molly Ivins — The Middle East crisis is a big story, and the media know what to do with a big story: hammer at it nonstop, drench it in fear, report just a little bit of what’s going on and be sure never to let facts get in the way.
|
|
By Molly Ivins — “Think about the potential Democratic candidates. Every single one of them needs spine, needs political courage. What Moyers can do is not only show them what it looks like and indeed what it is, but also how people respond to it.”
|
|
By Molly Ivins — When the Long Term Capital Management hedge fund went belly up in 1998, it nearly wrecked world markets. So why are we allowing well-connected Republicans to prevent the SEC from staving off the next catastrophe?
|
|
By Molly Ivins — Molly Ivins is on vacation. In this column from 2001, she argues that in a country where CEOs make 475 times the salary of their employees, most people’s “economic freedom” is limited to a choice between cinnamon- and mint-flavored toothpaste.
|
|
“Anyone who doesn’t think this is a country where the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer needs to check the numbers—this is Bush country, where a rising tide lifts all yachts.”
|
|
By Molly Ivins — The top U.S. commander in Iraq proposed an Iraq cut-and-run plan during the very week that Republicans were lambasting Democrats for making the same suggestion. But Karl Rove knows that because Americans’ memories are so short, that won’t matter.
|
|
Bush just designated a stretch of the Hawaiian Islands a national monument after watching a documentary about the ocean there. How nice. So what, exactly, is his excuse for not even watching Al Gore’s movie on a slightly more important environmental issue?
|
|
By Molly Ivins — Dennis Hastert gets caught in a suspect land deal, Rep. Jerry Lewis is in deep with a stinko lobbying firm, and the Department of Homeland Security has become a Republican playground. Can’t the GOP, self-proclaimed bastion of morality, small government and fiscal responsibility, get anything right?
|
|
By Molly Ivins — The media continues to fizz with excitement at Bush’s “spontaneous” trip to Iraq, and his “eye to eye” with Prime Minister Maliki. However, continuously escalating violence reveals his visit to be just another misleading “Mission Accomplished” photo-op moment.
|
|

By Molly Ivins — Amir Taheri wrote the bogus Op-Ed claiming that Iran has a law requiring Jews to wear yellow badges. But on Tuesday, he was invited to the White House along with other “experts” to give Bush their “honest opinions.” With advice like that, our war in Iran will be a slam-dunk.
