Was so sorry to hear this. I don't know if a lot of you were familiar with her work, but I enjoyed her point of view.

Best-selling author, sharp-witted Texas liberal succumbs to breast cancer
AUSTIN, Texas - Best-selling author and columnist Molly Ivins, the sharp-witted liberal who skewered the political establishment and referred to President Bush as "Shrub," died Wednesday after a long battle with breast cancer. She was 62.
David Pasztor, managing editor of the Texas Observer, confirmed her death.
The writer, who made a living poking fun at Texas politicians, whether they were in her home base of Austin or the White House, revealed in early 2006 that she was being treated for breast cancer for the third time.

Atleast I wont have to read her garbage in the local newspaper anymore.
Other than that, I mean, I'm sure she was an articulate, bright, clean and nice-looking gal.

I adored Molly Ivins. She was smart and tough-minded and hysterically funny. I'm going to miss reading her work tremendously.
RIP
