She's back.nbsp; Molly Ivins, our most perceptive, outrageously funny political commentator, has given us an uproarious new book. In Nothin' But Good Times Ahead, Ivins proved that no one has a steadier gaze or a quicker trigger finger, as she hits the bull's-eye in such targets as George Bush, Bill Clinton, Camille Paglia, the Clarence Thomas hearings, and the ethics-twisting, English-slaughtering pols of her beloved Texas.nbsp; Here's Molly on: The 1992 Republican Convention: "Many people did not care for Pat Buchanan's speech; it probably sounded better in the original German." Texas politics: "Better than the zoo, better than the circus, rougher than football, and even more aesthetically satisfying than baseball." Gibber Lewis, former House Speaker of the Texas State Legislature: "He once announced, 'This is unparalyzed in the state's history." Another Gibberism: "It could have bad ramifistations in the hilterlands." nbsp;… (more)

Molly Ivins views resonate and fascinate and are funny and truth to the bone. ( )
  Karen74Leigh | Sep 4, 2019 |
More of Ivins' savagely (though civilized) funny political columns, richly skewering those who most need it and comforting the afflicted in the best tradition of liberalism. It is such a joy to find a columnist who I agree with so often (not that that's a requirement), is so funny and humane and occasionally serious at just the right times, and who can so flat-out WRITE.
