Molly Ivins, Bush’s fellow Texan and most disarming critic, is dead!

The joy of reading syndicated columns by Molly Ivins was surpassed only by the uproarious delight of hearing her share her populist views - distinguished by her inimitable (self-deprecating) Southern drawl and searing wit - in person. And she was never more entertaining than when she was rubbing America's most fortunate son - Texas “shrub” George dubya - the wrong way.

Ivins died on Thursday after a long battle against breast cancer. She was 62.
