Molly, we miss you already

What will it be like to face Bushworld every day without Molly Ivins? Like her friend Ann Richards, also sorely missed, Molly could be counted on to put her finger on the very weak spot in any blowhard's balloon. She spoke Texan in a way that was music to our ears, those of us who grew up in that time and place. I'll always have extra love and respect for my son Vince who, when he was a teenager, bought me Molly's book for my birthday, knowing how much I wanted it, and knowing too, with dread, that I would read most of it out loud to him. I did.
