I was over at the Texas Observer reading the memorials to Molly ..she used to be asst. Editor there before she went to the New York Times..and still donated money to them and probably left them money in her will...if you get a chance you should read it..especially if you are a liberal in Texas...I know you're out there...... I can hear you whimpering...
Ok...to the reason of this post..In one of the memorials I don't remember by who....(whom?)they were telling about the time they followed Molly in giving a speech...weeks after she had been in the town... The people were still raising hell, and freaking out over what she had said...I think it was some pan handle city like Abilene, Texas or some hard shell, conservative city...anyhow..he couldn't get anyone to tell him what she had said...They acted like if they repeated it they would die of shame....
Every one was upset and in a snit, but no one would tell him what she said.Finally he got pissed and yelled at someone..'Just tell me what Molly Ivins said!'.....
This is what she said:"The three most over rated things in America are Mack Trucks, teenage pussy and the FBI."............
Damn...I miss her...
