How I met Molly Ivins
I grew up reading this woman, she was perhaps the one liberal voice i was exposed to as a kid in the Dallas area. Well into my freshman year, I found out she was an alumna of my college when she came and spoke there. As an intern in the PR office, I got to meet her, then. She was also our graduation speaker three years later.
Still the most sage and grounded voice in American Politics, as well as thoroughly entertaining. If you want to get the full experience, check out this video of Molly making Bill O’Reilly and Al Franken look like high school kids at the 2003 Los Aneles Book Fair: http://www.booktv.org/feature/index.asp?schedid=196&segid=3630
