[Viva_La_Revolution]

:bounce:

[malaise]

1. Watching now n/t

[Armstead]

2. "Bunch of spineless wonders"

She is not holding back, that's for sure

[Sydnie]

3. Watching too

Love her!!

psssst - what time does the blood fest begin in the Senate this morning? ;)

[Viva_La_Revolution]

13. 12pm Eastern

So we have time to get a few chores done before the fun begins. :P

[Sydnie]

14. Cool, I have some work to do to finish my week

Gives me just enough time! Thanks for being my timkeeper for me. I appreciate it so much! :hug:

[speedoo]

4. Molly speaks for me.

What's with the hat... I hope it's not what I think it might be.

[RepublicanElephant]

6. i hope not either.

maybe just a bad hair day.

[Armstead]

8. It is -- She' being treated for cancer again

[NMDemDist2]

5. is she ill? she hasn't been looking good lately

but she still tells it like it is :bounce:

[MsUSA]

9. She almost looks bald......cancer treatment???

She's my hero.

[acmejack]

16. Yes, breast cancer.

third recurrence

[BlueEyedSon]

17. Read here on DU: 3rd bout of breast cancer (no other confirmation)

[Billy Burnett]

15. She's fighting breast cancer again.

All blessings to Molly.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

7. "These times call for more than 'calculated politics'"

Molly speaks for me! :)

[speedoo]

10. Her short list... why no Al Gore?

Feingold, go outside for a Moyers or a Jimmy Carter. But why not Al Gore, Molly?

[RepublicanElephant]

18. ...or kuchinich of ohio! or most of the congressional black caucus!

?

[EFerrari]

19. It blows me away -- how the CBC does so much heavy lifting

how there are so many attractive people in it and how invisible they all are to most people. Leaders, nearly every one.

[BlueEyedSon]

11. thx for the heads up!

[Beer Snob-50]

12. Molly's article in my paper this morning about the spineless

democrats was fantastic! I am trying to figure out however who currently does speak for us.

[Armstead]

20. "You don;t have to preface it -- This is a terrible war.."

She hit nail on the head.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

21. one of the best guests ever on wj

[Kurovski]

22. In case anyone missed Molly's column

on Hillary and weak Dems that she spoke of earlier, here's a thread:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

23. Great callers this morning!

not one freeper yet!

[Kurovski]

24. Molly is not for impeachment.

She states that we would end up with more of the same, although she saw a "smart-ass bumper sticker" that read "Impeach Cheney first"

She feels that it's more important to spend our time figuring out how to fix the mess we have now.

[flordehinojos]

28. we won't have a mess to clean up if we don't impeach first becausee

the bushite boy won't let go of power and the presiduncey

[Kurovski]

43. I differ with Molly as well, as I think impeachment is required

when circumstances warrant it.

An investigation would seem to be in order.

[Sydnie]

25. "It's your legacy - you pick it up and take care of it"

Where are these people, these bright young people? As Will Pitt noted not so long ago, the majority of people that show up at the smaller local protests are getting long in the tooth. (myself included) Where are the Abbie Hoffman's of today? We need you now!!!

I agree with Molly.

[Kurovski]

44. As the administration knows,

a military draft would be the key to bringing out the younger crowd.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

26. "war is the force that gives life meaning"

by Chris Hodges (Did i get that title right?)

[Hand]

30. "War is a Force that Gives Us Meaning" by Chris Hedges

Powerful, unsettling writing--"War is necrophilia" is the basic thesis...

[Viva_La_Revolution]

36. thanks for the correction... I'm sure it will creep me out but

it sounds like I might have to get it.

[Sydnie]

31. I beleive you did n/t

[Viva_La_Revolution]

32. Ladies and Gentleman... we have a freeper!

WMD lies were not lies :wow: and they are lying to us about the # of uninsured :eyes:

[Neil Lisst]

27. I've been watching her. As always, she kicks ass!

I've been loving Molly Ivins a long time. She's soooooo South Austin.

[Sydnie]

29. What is that callers crap about transporting wmd to Syria?

Anyone heard that before? She said it happened yesterday ...

[Blue_Roses]

33. it is rwing rhetoric

this woman has obviously been drinking tons of Kool-aid. Molly's response was great:applause:

I don't know how she keeps her cool. I wouldn't be so good at it.

[Sydnie]

34. Molly's answer was right on the mark

What a wonderful treat to end "WJ Fascist Friday" with Molly. Thanks Brian, thank you for Molly's appearance today.

[Ikonoklast]

37. An Iraqi general trying to sell a book stated

that all WMD's were flown to Syria before the war started.


Right.



I guess all the spy satellite image interpreters and air recon overflights crews were all having coffee at the same time a flight took off from Baghdad that morning with nuclear weapons on board.

If that is really what happened, we are far more incompetent than I realized.

[ScreamingMeemie]

35. "we are born into this world, each of us naked and helpless..." This in

re a caller who says health insurance is a Personal Responsibility. Tell that to the child you forced a mother to have who cannot pay for health coverage. These people suffer from major disconnect.

[ChiciB1]

39. Yeah, But Molly Handled Her Sweet Ass!

Had a great answer for that WING-NUT!! Had that person been more aware she would NEVER had made that comment to the likes of Molly Ivins!!

[ScreamingMeemie]

40. That was what I quoted. Molly's response. I couldn't believe how

many moderates came out in support of Molly today. Ah, the winds of change are blowing.

[ChiciB1]

38. What Surprised Me, I Mean REALLY Surprised Me Was

"the callers" calling in! MOST of them talked about just how much off track America has become. EVEN some Republicans... Moderates, Goldwater etc. Gave me a bit more HOPE!

And I most definitely and TOTALLY agree with her assessment of Hillary, and basically her perceptions on all things political. I loved the quote from the guy reciting Caesar!! That was magnificent!

I'm so glad I got to meet her in person once, as I do think she is having cancer revisit her. This will be such a loss to our society. My experience with cancer, and I HAVE had 3 members of my family pass away because of it, is that you CAN battle it for a while, but re-occurrences are NOT a good sign. I hope she will be able to be one of those rare survivors! I admire her so very very much!!

[flordehinojos]

41. i wondered about her cancer too when i saw her on the t.v. this morning.

[ScreamingMeemie]

42. She sounded REALLY tired...and had a bit of trouble keeping up,

but still did a GREAT job.

[ChiciB1]

45. Notice: She Was Wearing A Hat!

A sure sign that she's having Chemo. When I saw her before the election, even then her hair was quite thin.

I have cable and am having trouble here at DU this AM... taking forever to post, so excuse me if I don't respond. I've already lost one post and had to re-write.

[ScreamingMeemie]

46. I hate when that happens. No need to respond, but I found this for you...

Someone had posted that she's facing another round:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x2397961

[ChiciB1]

47. Thanks A Lot...

It took me a while... guess there's a lot of traffic today!

She's one of the great ones, that's for sure!

[Kurovski]

48. Kick...Molly replay on now,

[Viva_La_Revolution]

49. REPLAY ON NOW!

:)

[Catchawave]

50. She's good......

I'm really enjoying this. I heard the DU Feingold supporters CHEER :hi:

[kittykitty]

51. Woner why she has a pitch black background? I looks like she has no arms

I undertand her cancer hat (and what misfortune for a third occurrance), but the red and black outfit makse her look bizarre, without arms. She also seems tired, which is no surprise with chemo.

[Kurovski]

52. she was up early. the background was the outdoors, still dark out.

What a sweetheart Molly is. I enjoyed that even more the second time, as I was bustling around the first go-round. Even bust-out laughing at her "What to do?!" line.

I wonder if it will be run one more time?
