Of all the people I wish were here to watch this election,

Molly Ivins is the one I miss most.
She could write a column every day and not cover everything. It would be hystericl.

I still miss Molly.

4. Yes I remember her very amusing support for that fellow who claimed...

...that Al Gore was exactly the same as George W. Bush - what was his name? - um, oh yeah, that great profound and deep critic of NBA officiating, Ralph Nader.

That was hilarious, a great joke played on the United States for one group, and the citizens of Iraq for another group.

I, for one, miss her delicious sense of humor. Bush = Gore. Hilarious. Fun. A joy. I just can't stop laughing.

5. Personally, she may be the one non-lawyer I would nominate to the SCOTUS vacancy.

Can you imagine the hearings? LOL

6. I've thought of her a number of times.

She loved the ridiculous, and I'm really sorry she's missing this one.

7. She'd have to write

Who Let the Clowns out??

[Stuart G]

9. Very Well Said..."Who Left the Clowns out??"..and that is what she would write..of course!

8. Mike Royko, Herblock and even HL Mencken

I think Chicago columnist Mike Royko, cartoonist Herblock, and even HL Mencken could have fun with this Presidential election.
