What's that awful smell? (Ivins gone wild!)
The Buffalo News ^ | November 5, 2004 | Molly Ivins; Eleni121

Ivins writes:

Do you know how to cure a chicken-killin' dog? Now, you know you cannot keep a dog that kills chickens, no matter how fine a dog it is otherwise. Some people think you cannot break a dog that has got in the habit of killin' chickens, but my friend John Henry always claimed you could. He said the way to do it is to take one of the chickens the dog has killed and wire the thing around the dog's neck, good and strong.

My response:

It puzzles me that with so much journalistic talent the Buffalo News continues to run Molly Ivins’ convoluted, highly partisan, and smear-laden opinions.

After wading through her murky chicken and dog analogy, Ivins wanders into the land of recriminations and outright hate. What can a reader learn from this type of immature reflection?

In her abject anger at the election results, Ivins blames “God, gays, and guns” for the misfortunes of the Democrats or as she prefers to call them the progressives. The reference to God is Ivins’ way of suggesting that Republicans actually vote their values. Last time I checked it is still legal for Americans to vote their values. As for “gays” it is the Democrats who injected the issue of one's private sex life into the debates…remember Kerry’s reference to Cheney’s daughter? I guess Ivins overlooked that. In her emotionally drained state she has also forgotten the Second Amendment in her reference to guns.

As for the “system” that George W. Bush stands for: I wonder if that system includes the tens of millions given to the Democrats by Soros and other giant corporations who supported Mr. Kerry? May I suggest also that in the interest of “progressive” politics Ms. Ivins lower her $20,000 plus asking price to speak at public gatherings to which she has been invited.

Ivins obviously is unaware that the progressives of the past and today are the Republicans. It is Republicans who are fully involved in reforming failed government programs, improving the lives of its citizens both here and abroad, and fulfilling the promise of America for all its citizens.

She makes sense to me. How would like her wired around your neck?

Apparently not...but her columns appear everywhere...hate filled, more appropriate to paranoiac publications, not "mainstream" media.

Maybe mainstream is no longer mainstream...

She needs John "Goose" Kerry strung around her neck for a week or so.

I read the whole article and there is no mention of what a traitorous, back stabbing, morally corrupt candidate that America had as an alternative.

So I guess that they are going to continue their leftist, one world, baby killing, gay agenda.

So I will never surrender, I will never give up until my same age group is defeated. Special thanks to Winston of course!

Her politics aside, as a Southerner, I've always found her contrived efforts to be folksy and "down home" unbearable to read...

With apologies to Lynard Skynard:


"Oooh that smell?
Can't you smell that smell?
Oooh that smell!

The smell of death surronds her!"




Actually, knowing Molly Ivins, that smell is probably just an indication that it time for Molly to change her "Depends".

Never fear. Its the likes of rhetoric put out by the Molly Irvins of this nation that drive more people to vote Republican. Let her drivel continue. Hollywood needs something to read.

For sure...she deliberately and artificially injects her columns with the "folksy" touch that has nothing to do with the topic...except very tangentially.

Of course the Liberals lap it up as honest to goodness down home analysis. Ha ha ha!

I'm so happy she defined "bifurcatin'" fer me beings that i'm one-toothed-coon-huntin'-truck drivin'-God-lovin'-homo=hatin'-dumbass hick from the south!

I know the truth doesn't matter, but Vioxx was approved for sale in 1999 by Bill Clinton's FDA even though it was already known to possibly cause cardiovascular problems.

What a difference between her real self and her photo with her columns...She must have a problem with that universal force: aging.

Dear Molly,

You can use "in'" instead of "ing" but you're still a pompous, elitist liberal snob.
